A discerning listener of Joy FM has bemoaned the current state of the nation.
David, who called into the Super Morning Show on Wednesday was saddened about the mismanagement of the economy by the incumbent government.
He believes that political actors do not have the country’s growth in mind but their parochial interests.
“They are destroying everything and we are okay. They are not making it right because as long as they have money to take their children outside the country and even if they are going to school their children internally, they have the money so they are okay. Once they are okay, everyone is supposed to be okay.
“And the masses are pretending as though there is nothing wrong. I’m not sure this country’s sickness can ever be treated because those who are supposed to be the change-makers are corrupt to the core,” he said on Wednesday.
David further chastised his fellow citizens for not being “angry enough”.
He stressed that if citizens could hold the leadership accountable, the rate at which the country has been on the decline would not have happened.
"Ghana we’re not angry enough. If you compare Ghana to some nations in terms of land mass, Ghana is bigger and you see the development and you compare us to them, you’ll cry.
“Our nation is 66 years. If Ghana were a human being, it would have gone on pension a long time ago. But look at us, we’re still begging.”
President Akufo-Addo is set to deliver the State of the Nation Address (SONA) later today.
Even though he has promised to provide detailed accounts of packages that will revamp the economy, David believes the President’s address will be full of “propaganda, sloganeering and emptiness.”
