IF GHANA WERE A PRIVATE BUSINESS - WHAT WOULD THEY GIVE US?

Our leaders (Presidents and Parliaments) should be answering one simple question to Ghanaians:

“If this country was their personal profit-making companies, would they have employed those they have, for the various departments? Would they have made the decisions they have made to date? Would they have robbed their employees of their salaries in order to pay for their own incompetencies, the way they have robbed the Ghanaian taxpayers to pay for their inefficiencies? Would they have denied their workers electricity and water at work and still expect them to do their jobs efficiently??? Ask yourself, Do they think you are a FOOL?

Irrespective of party affiliations, each Minister of State, should answer to these 4 CORE areas before appointment:

1. Productivity – How have you evidently demonstrated it in your personal life to date? Corporate productivity is a reflection of personal productivity.

2. Innovation – Select a common problem in their sector of specialisation and ask them how they would consider solving it using non-traditional YET self-sustainable approaches.

3. Value-for-Money Mindset – present them with 1 general problem and 5 different solutions. Get them to defend why their choice of solution is the best long term value-for-money option.

4. Patriotic Values – demonstrate a conscious system you will put in place to instil in the workers under your ministry, the daily realisation that the success of Ghana as a nation equals their individual successes.

There are Ghanaians out there with BRAINS and a foward thinking WILL to see Ghana do better, so why are we allowing these greedy political wolves to short-change us?
