Akufo-Addo’s Ghana has so far failed the youth.

By Seth Mifetu.

The responsibility for protecting the youth from committing suicide goes beyond the parenthesis of the law enforcement agencies, rather, rest on the chest of the commander-in-chief of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).

Protection is very supreme to the people of Ghana who give up their complete inalienable rights to freedom, life, safety and liberty by creating government to attain these rights that are also enshrined in the 1992 constitution.

It is the duty of the government to ensure that these fundamental human rights are freely attained and enjoy without any sweat by all citizens including the youth, but here we are, these rights have eluded the youth and even as hard as they tried to pursue it, the harder and unbearable it becomes.

Suicide, which is a crime on itself, has become last resorts among the youth in our contemporary days, stealing the life of our young generation which threaten the future of Ghana and Mr. Akufo-Addo, the father of the nation remain nonchalant to the plight of the youth and Ghana.

If the commander-in-chief cannot secure the life of the youth, what else does he deem important that he can promise the youth than their life?

It’s unfortunate that Mr. Akufo-Addo is so proud of exhibiting gross incompetent at the seat of government at the very early stages of his leadership.

Someone should do me a favor by telling Mr. Akufo-Addo to stop pretending to lead and lead from behind. He should find a lasting solution to this over alarming suicide among the youth.

Mr. Akufo-Addo’s Ghana has failed the youth and many wonder whether the youth should remained thankful for having a leader or look elsewhere for protection.

Despite my respect for Mr. Akufo-Addo for his person and status, I have never envisaged that he will be a dependable leader, but for him to reveal the four years nightmare ahead of Ghanaians at the very beginning of his reign is unimaginable. Yet I have no regret in Akufo-Addo because Ghanaians were forewarned of these days ahead of time.

Sometimes the truth is buried, while deception is hailed. If not so, who will appoint a man who depends on medication to get up from bed to be the CEO of his company?

To God be the glory.
