Mahmoud Kabore Backs Government’s Efforts to Address Inequality and Improve Opportunities in Ghana

Mahmoud Kabore, Spokesperson to Minister for Land and Natural Resources, Armah Kofi Buar has stated that limited opportunities in Ghana continue to push many citizens to seek better prospects abroad, stressing the need for reforms to improve living conditions and restore hope among Ghanaians.

In an interview on Kessben Maakye he said, the reality is that opportunities within the country remain scarce, which explains why many people consider relocating to other countries in search of better livelihoods.

He questioned why some individuals would choose to remain in places experiencing constant insecurity and bomb attacks, adding that no opportunity is worth risking one’s life.

Mr. Kabore expressed optimism about what he described as a renewed commitment by the current administration to change the situation in Ghana.

He noted that the President has demonstrated a strong desire to transform the country and make citizens proud of their homeland.

“We are hoping for a positive change in the country,” he said, emphasizing that many Ghanaians are looking forward to policies that will improve economic opportunities and reduce hardships.

Mr. Kabore also addressed concerns raised by some Ghanaians living in the United Arab Emirates regarding government plans to evacuate citizens when necessary. He urged them not to dismiss such arrangements outright, noting that circumstances could change and they might one day require the government’s assistance.

He further highlighted the issue of income inequality in Ghana, describing the disparity in salaries and benefits as unfair.

According to him, it is unfortunate that in some cases the salary of a cleaner in the United Arab Emirates could be higher than that of a lecturer in Ghana.

Mr. Kabore welcomed the President’s position on reviewing and possibly scrapping benefits under Article 71, explaining that the gap between office holders who benefit from the provision and ordinary workers such as teachers is too wide.

He stressed that addressing such inequalities will be key to restoring fairness and confidence in the country’s governance and economic system.
