It is the duty of every government to upgrade the economies of their countries and to address emerging socio-economic challenges. These shall always crop up in every political setting and must be dealt with decisively by governments. Indeed that is the duty of every government.
New infrastructures will be constructed and existing ones suffering depreciations will also be upgraded.
In our local circumstances, deficiencies created as a result of bad governance are being addressed by the President and his team even as new ones previously ignored or overlooked are being attended to. That is governance.
Education which was out of the reach of many has been addressed with the introduction of the free SHS policy even as cynics pray that it flops.
The Akufo-Addo led government was in a peculiar situation when it assumed the leadership of the country. The economy was in a bad shape and electricity was not guaranteed. There were underlying challenges occasioned by bad governance and then COVID-19 also struck.
These are being addressed even in the face of the COVID-19 created challenges.
The moribund railway system is being resuscitated.
The funfair associated with the ‘fix it’ campaigners as we pointed out earlier is nothing but a useless attempt at stampeding the government into responding irresponsibly.
Political watchers will not miss the glaring project of the opposition NDC to incite Ghanaians against the government.
There is more fixing to do when a responsible government inherits the reins from an irresponsible predecessor.
This is the case of Ghana. The country was so messed up that the volume of fixing could only be imagined.
Even as the fixing continued, normal and unusual as in the case of Ghana government has to deal with the noise of ironically persons who failed to be responsible when they were at the helm.
The unusual fixing entails issues such as stopping the degrading of our water bodies and forests, subject largely ignored by the previous government of the NDC.
Barring any circumstances the Pokuase four tier overpass will be commissioned in July which is the first of its kind in West Africa and the second in Africa.
COVID-19 in spite of the expectations of political killjoys has been managed so brilliantly that the World Health Organisation has charitable words for government’s good performance.
Fixing a country is not engaging in scandalous enterprises such as the Airbus scandal and double remunerations by public officials.
Fixing a country is not about burning tyres and encouraging the citizenry to be unruly and antagonistic to government.
Fixing a country is not about engaging in mendacious remarks intended to create disaffection for government.
Ghana has come a long way from the arbitrariness of the previous government of the NDC.
We will not be cowed into taking hook, line and sinker the packaged lies which are intended to have us toe the line of the NDC.
The country was ripped off by persons who could not care the hoot about a Ghana to which they belong; for them to talk about ‘fix it’ can only be a piece of derision. This too shall pass.
