  I don't think Ghana can feed itself in the next five years. Why? All the farmlands are being covert to galamsay pits and few people are going into agriculture. Everyone is chasing quick money due to the behavior of politicians and civil servants. Politicians would rather buy expensive cars instead of developing the country for the majority. Politicians and civil servants want to build houses for their children that would probable not live in those houses. Politicians and civil servants will steal the money meant for development to pay tuition fees for their children abroad. It is a pity looking at politicians and civil servants wasting all the money in bettering themselves while the majority of the citizens suffer. In the near future, over 60% of our foodstuffs would be imported resulting in high cost and hardship. How can Ghana ever come out with 10 distinctive politicians and civil servants to change Ghana? That is my dream every day!

  I have to agree with the author - we, the citizens of Ghana, are the authors of our calamitous situation, by being too indulgent of corrupt and incompetent leaders.

  Even though the content of the articles and the impact of corruption is really negative, the "so called author" Ibrahim Hardi is a thief for copying Prof. Lumumba speech as his own work.

  I totally agree with you about the negative impact of corruption on the Ghanaian economy.
  
  My only problem with this article is that, the writer (Ibrahim Hardi) should have acknowledged the source of the information in his writings.
  
  Meaning of Plagiarism-
  
  It involves both stealing someoneelse's work and lying about it afterward. ...copying words or ideas from someone else without giving credit. ... changing words but copying the sentence structure of a source without giving credit (I copied this definition from the Internet).
  
  All what is written in this article is from a speech given by Kenyan anti-corruption crusader Prof. Lumunba in Uganda in 2014.
  
  This is intellectual dishonesty. Where Prof. Lumunba used the word African continent, you just changed it to Ghana. About 99% of this article is from that speech but no where did the writer said anything about Prof. Lumunba.
  
  I will end here but my advice to writers are to acknowledge the source of their information.
  
  Thank you

  Isaacs for and search for it. By the way, I agree with what is written about corruption but Ibrahim shouldn't copy and paste someone work as his own.
  The tragedy of Africa by Prof. Lumumba.

  I thought this was strange too knowing how deficient this Writer is in English.
  
  This Hardi fool is looking for attention.

  HARDI IBRAHIM, MAY GOD'S MERCY AND GRACE BE WITH YOU TO SEEK THE TRUTH ABOUT GHANA'S SITUATION, SO YOU WILL SEE THE SYMPTONS OF GHANA'S PROBLEMS AND DIAGNOSE RIGHTLY, THEN ASK GOD FOR SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR OWN WRITINGS. IT SEEMS LIKE, YOU ARE BEGINNING TO SHED THE BLINKERS OVER YOUR EYES. LIKE PAUL OF TARSUS, IT IS GOD WHO REVEALS THE TRUTH TO US AND ONCE FOUND, TRUTH SETS US FREE TO SERVE GOD'S PURPOSE OF LOOKING AFTER HIS PEOPLE; THE POOR, THE ORPHAN, THE WIDOW, THE SICK, THE HOMELESS, THE DESTITUTE, THE JOBLESS. YOU BEGIN SEARCHING FOR TRUTH BY BEING TRUTHFUL TO YOUR OWN SELF, NOT BY PLAGIARISING OTHERS WRITINGS AND SPEECHES TO MAKE YOURSELF LOOK AND FEEL GOOD.

  This dude is seeking attention by copying. Are u now admitting that corruption is our problem? Fonkar has gotten up with vigour and u now see the sense in what meaningful ghanaians have been telling you about corruption. This govt and his ministers have drained Ghana dry. its a pity. Please, hit them hard. corruption is equal to mass murder. The dead goat is the most corrupt person ever. He is a disgrace to northerners . do educate your people and let them know how corrupt the dead goat is.You are seeing the reality now. Don't sell your vote. be bold and honest like a Fonkar member.

  Frankly speaking I can imagine our president dole $292 million to AMERI and chartered plane to Iran to seek investment worth $8.6 million is not that insane?Can you imagine our president invite Chinese Nationals to come and engage in galamsey to destroy our Eco-system and polite our drinking waters with cancer causing agents and our president endorse such irresponsible behaviour and when Ghana complain he chide Ghanaians and said the Chinese are doing business for a living and while locals engage in galamsey they are arrested and thrown to jail.Our president simple possess an illiterate uneducated mentality.
