Ghana and Africa’s problem is leadership not lack of resources – Martha Ankomah
Ghanaian actress Martha Ankomah has expressed her dissatisfaction with the country’s school infrastructure. It is terrible, she says, to witness school children learning under trees as MPs cruise around in lavish public-funded V8 automobiles.
The Ghanaian actress shared her dissatisfaction with the state of rural schools in an interview with Accra FM, blaming it on poor leadership.
“Our problem is actually leadership, not just politicians in Ghana, but the whole of African. The problem is leadership.”
She went on to say that Ghana is endowed with all resources. Nonetheless, the country is impoverished, whereas Dubai, which relies solely on oil, is highly developed.
“If Dubai extracts only oil and has been able to develop its country. And Ghana, God has blessed us with all resources, including oil. And yet, we are poor. Then there is no need for other countries to borrow money from Ghana because it is very worrying.
“Ghana was gifted with everything on earth, but our problem is leadership. And if our leaders are going to change their mindset and have a love for the country, then Ghana would be a better place to be. I feel sad when I see school children under trees learning and MPs drive in V8 sharing goats, chickens and bicycles during elections”.
Martha Ankomah urged government officials, particularly politicians, to put the needs of the country ahead of personal gain.
“Do something for someone to say this MP really worked. He constructed roads, not the MP that did nothing whiles school children are learning under trees. Good name, the Bible says, is better than riches,” she concluded.
