Ghana’s econominc crisis is a result of external shocks and not mismanagement – Ofori Amponsah

Award-winning
Highlife
artiste,
Ofori
Amponsah,
has
acknowledged
that
Ghana
is
going
through
a
financial
crisis.

According
to
the
Cinderella
hitmaker
during
an
interview
with
Berla
Mundi
on
TV3,
the
country’s
financial
challenges
are
not
a
result
of
mismanagement
but
rather
external
shocks.

“What
we
are
facing
is
that
we
are
facing
external
shocks,
I
did
economics
in
school,
so
I
understand
the
system”

I
feel
for
this
nation,
especially
when
I
see
people
on
ships
going
to
Italy.
I
cry
in
my
heart
because
there
are
so
many
opportunities
in
this
country
that
people
don’t
see.

When
it
comes
to
farming
there
is
a
lot
but
people
don’t
love
what
will
bring
them
money,
everyone
wants
to
cut
corners
for
money
and
when
everybody
is
cutting
corners
for
money
what
economy
do
we
have?

That
is
why
I’m
saying
that
we
have
to
do
an
introspection
as
a
country
because
one
party
cannot
do
it
so
we
have
to
come
together
to
fix
this
country,”

“Every
country
experiences
this
phase
of
financial
challenges.
Ghana
is
facing
its
own
financial
challenges
at
this
time.
We
don’t
have
to
give
up
because
no
one
particular
person
can
fix
it
until
we
come
together
and
fix
it.

Today
the
dollar
is
Ghc16
maybe
tomorrow
Mahama
may
come
and
the
dollar
will
be
Ghc
25
another
will
come
and
maybe
in
the
next
ten
years
if
we
are
living
you’ll
interview
me
and
say
I
told
you.

Pressing
on,
he
acknowledged
that
Ghana
is
going
through
a
financial
crisis.

“We
have
to
do
an
introspection
as
a
people
to
know
what
exactly
is
ailing
our
economy
or
our
country
as
a
whole.
So
for
me,
the
step
of
especially
educating
the
youth
is
the
reason
why
I
hold
on
to
the
NPP.

They
actually
introduced
a
lot
of
interventionist
programmes
than
the
other
side.
I’m
purely
NPP.
I
see
something
different
in
that
man.
I
see
him
to
be
the
future
of
this
nature;
I
see
he
will
transform
Ghana.

People
don’t
really
understand
and
People
think
about
bread
and
butter
alone.
There
are
certain
times
where
people
in
places
will
make
decisions
to
change
the
destiny
of
a
nation
and
I
believe
that
man
sees
that
in
this
digital
age,
something
should
be
done
and
he
sees
that
vision
of
a
digital
Ghana,”

he
said.

On
why
Dr
Mahamudu
Bawumia
cannot
do
all
he
wants
to
do
now
that
he
is
a
Vice
President.
