A senior leading member of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Afful Manu Benjamin has bemoaned Ghana's continuous dependence on foreign aid even at the age of 65 years of independence.
The current state of the country, according to Mr. Afful only reminisce a country seeking to be freed from colonial powers.
"... the current state of the country just looks like a country looking for a way to be freed from colonial powers," a situation the Proprietor of Star of the Hope Montessori Academy decried.
Mr. Afful Manu Benjamin in an interview with Anopa Nkomo on Tain FM with Appiah Kubi lamented Ghana's over-reliance on foreign aid even at age 65 adding that the country has a sign of 'no qualification' to be independent.
The country's over-reliance on foreign aid and goods, he said accounted for the laxity and penchant for foreign products including aids.
He indicated that no country could ever develop with the over-reliance on foreign aid and that he said was inimical to the growth of the country.
He continued," God has blessed Ghana with all the natural resources but cannot still produce usable products from them, while we boast of having good and quality education which we can't even use the educational structure to implement anything for the country. "
While admonition the decision-makers of the country, he bemoaned the country's importations of common products like toilet papers, matches amongst others.
While expressing his bitterness about the current state of the country at age 65, he undoubtedly blamed the country's retardation on the educational system.
"Ghanaians have no value for skills training but rather reading and writing alone which have not yielded the needed results. This means book knowledge alone without corresponding application is the cause of Ghana's development challenges," he intimated.
The Proprietor further proffers skills training coupled with result-oriented formal education as a major way to mitigate the production drought.
He applauded the introduction of the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET) imitative and indicated that with better management acumen, that outfit was good to flourish.
He concluded by congratulating Apostle Kojo Sarfo's Kantakan Automobile for positioning itself as Ghana's game-changer for a better tomorrow.
