Former President of Ghana, John Agyekum Kufour has said that #fixthecountry campaigners should stop pretending as if the country was doing well but a particular government destroyed it overnight.
The former President said that #fixthecountry campaign must be revisited and revised because no government has the magic to easily change the economy overnight.
Speaking on Angel TV he went on to say that the country is still depending on the resources it had 64 years ago despite the population growing each day.
”When did we finish fixing the nation that all of a sudden we are acting as though it was once fixed and someone destroyed it? We are still building it. Ghanaians are a lot. When we had independence in 1957 we were only 6 million.
”As I speak now, I believe we are almost 40 million. When we add all those that have traveled. We are only 64 years. The land on which we live hasn’t expanded. Our natural resources haven’t multiplied”. he stated”.
He added that the country is suffering from it’s decision to adopt certain foreign culture with subjecting it to scrutiny.
”We are a developing country. We have leadership challenges and we are still making use of the little we have. All the challenges we currently have are because we rushed to make some hasty decisions. At a point, we did not live within our means. We didn’t plan properly.
