If we did not hear the loud thumping of the rains on our roofs, can we say we did not see the wet ground when we stepped out? I woke up to this headline “Mahama’s ‘kaakaamotobi’ economy scaring investors not me-Bawumia” and I sunk in self-pity.
I am not here to single out my political affiliations but to vent out the frustrations I have allowed to make home in me. The political feud between the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) becomes relentless with each passing tick of the clock.
Apparently the Vice-Presidential candidate for the opposition Dr Mahamudu Bawumia is at it again.  Dr Bawumi has been on the throat of the ruling government with respect to how retrogressive the country’s economy is functioning and he isn’t far from the truth.
Ghana, the country that was the star of the African rising story, the toast of the international development committee and the benchmark of other African countries now drowns in debt with its populace singing dirges as they wake up each morning dying a little lot more.
According to Bawumia, his many comments about the economy are directed at pointing Ghanaians to the areas of mismanagement and not to dwindle investor’s confidence.
Also he established that the decision made by the Mahama led administration to transfer 250 million dollars of the 2014 eurobond from the government’s account with the Bank of Ghana to a private bank, United Bank of Africa (UBA) has caused financial loss to the state.
To respond to that, the Deputy Finance Minister Cassiel Ato Forson also accused the NPP flagbearer, Nana AKuffo Addo of driving investors away with his all gloom comments about the Ghanaian Economy.
Maybe I am the only one smelling the stench of this Economy, or maybe not because I see a lot of happy faces with sad eyes. I hear people complain rancorously about their living conditions. But what can one expect from an economy that cannot boast of consistent provision of basic amenities like electricity and water, knowing that we do not enjoy the worth of the bills we pay for?
And just yesterday, about 1000 students graduated from my school, obviously we all know the questions that pop up when the mention of graduates come into play.
Pathetically, our so called visioned leaders have no visions for our purported envisioned future. They shamelessly sit on radio stations and dance to the tunes of mediocrity, embezzlement and misappropriation amongst others.
When I sit and question the conscience and sanity of our leaders, it appals me. If policies were a prerequisite for presidency, Ghana would be an anarchical state for these leaders have no respect or whatsover for policy formulation.
They just build great but empty castles in the air. With such a dilapidated economy, Bawumia needn’t say anything and to think otherwise would tempt me to say you are inherently stupid.
I guess my first paragraph now makes complete sense. The sound of the rain needs no explanation. Poverty is licking its lip, waiting to devour us.  I shall place it here.
