Thanks Mr Kwesi Prat for hosting such a fantastic personality, he’s quite knowledgeable and I hope and pray he joins the public sector again someday to continue making some impact. I just had some good revision of my Auditing lessons after about 20 years 😊.
Mr. Demelevo, thanks for your service to Mother Ghana. The mother serpent 🐍 of corruption got you out in order to amass wealth for themselves. Ghana salute 🫡 you. Keep up the good job working abroad 👏
What The PLAIN, (TALK TIME!). COURAGEOUS Man, Thank You For Your COURAGE!!! Ghana Is Proud Of You, Though They Seek Too Silence You, That CRIMES Against The Nation And Ours Precious People May Be COVER-UP. But, To No Avail!!! Be Still, For The Lord, Likewise His Army GLOBALE, Are With You Until The End Of The World. God Bless You. And, God Bless Our Homeland GHANA!
I followed someone to Domelevo office one afternoon to just ask for a gift of money to eat. When we came out, I was told he is the Auditor General. I was shocked 😲.. humility ... and kindness 😮
Indeed I can not believe that the educated Ghanaians seem to believe that the current high level of government spending is sustainable in an environment of overwhelming peasant farmers in rural areas who are poor and incapable of paying income taxes. Government must encourage large commercial farmers in rural areas to produce food for domestic and international markets. The commercial farmers must be given legal monopolies and in return pay income taxes for their employees. Furthermore the highly fragmented retail sector must be consolidated into large departmental and supermarket store chains.
Very educative interview. Kudos Uncle Kwesi for bringing on your show such a wise and intelligent man that appears to be all-around. I love the part where he stressed that audit works be targeted more towards the top than the bottom. I normally explain this assertion using the Pareto Principle. Why target the poor that steal about 5%-10% when the top steal about 50%-90% often without getting punished.
Sadly, they removed him for trying to do that. Their looting machine went on to milk the country dry. It's sad. Now, $12m cannot be accounted for through that criminal agyaboni deal alone. What a sad commentary on us as a people. 🤦🏾♂️
How on earth will Ghana develops when the top hierarchy politicians don't give public officers the opportunity to carry out their tasks diligently. It's very pathetic
The first post colonial president of ghana Nkrumah,can only be voted man of the millennium in Africa,where your education is measured by your ability to speak and write your colonial masters language but not what you do. We have so-called brilliant economists and lawyers in ghana who cannot design and implement a strategy to obliterate the economic woes of high unemployment,food insecurity,infrastructures deficits, etc,except to fabricate nonsensical childish lies that the colonial masters don’t want Africa to develop so they can continue to steal Africa’s natural resources. Meanwhile,lee kuan yew of Singapore, a trained lawyer in the United Kingdom,inherited an island nation with far fewer natural resources than ghana and like ghana no home grown technology to extract and add value to natural resources. Nevertheless, he harnessed the power of strong management skills to make his dream of a modern and civilized Singapore a reality. Africa’s underlying problem is not neocolonialism but official corruption,mismanagement and inability to extract and add value to our natural resources. If now fragmented africa becomes a single entity in future and the underlying problems inhibiting economic development in individual Africa countries now persist the continent would still be an empty giant.
If only Ghana will permit, whether NPP, CPP, or NDC... regional ministers should also be voted into power ..doing this, we will have a decentralized governance at the regional level.
Instead of constantly blaming ghana’s economic woes on neocolonialism,why ghana government,more than 65 years after independence,can’t phase out peasant farming and introduce nationwide mechanized agriculture in an effort to tap our vast natural land resources?
