Ghanaians are not accountable and patriotic – Former NDC parliamentary candidate, Alexander Ackuaku
Alexander Ackuaku, a former NDC parliamentary candidate, stated in an interview that Ghana is blessed with some of the highest-quality cocoa and gold in the world. While other nations have similar resources, Ghana’s produce stands out as the best. Also, he emphasized that building a better nation starts with honesty and hard work from everyone.
A major challenge to progress is when individuals put personal gain over public duty. There is growing concern over the attitude of some government contractors, especially those who prioritize making quick money over delivering quality work. To fix this, leaders are calling for anyone who fails to do their job diligently to face public prosecution.
On the economic side, the country is experiencing several ongoing changes. While the Ghana Cedi occasionally gains strength, citizens still have to manage shifting costs for fuel and taxes. For everyday life to become more affordable, the government must keep exchange rates stable and manageable for families.
To protect the nation’s resources, technology is now playing a bigger role. Authorities are introducing advanced machinery to test and verify the authenticity of Ghana’s gold. By using these modern tools, the country can stop illegal smuggling and ensure that gold wealth goes toward improving the lives of citizens.
In the end, moving Ghana forward requires a collective change in mindset. True development cannot happen if individuals continue to choose selfishness over the well-being of their communities. By encouraging one another and demanding transparency, Ghanaians can work together to build a brighter future.
