\u201cTHERE ARE LOTS OF \u201cWALKING GHOSTS\u201d IN GHANA \u2026 The corruption and joblessness programs of the npp have \u201cdrained\u201dtheir lives away\u2026 As much as DIGITALIZATION is presented as a spoke in the wheel of development, it\u2019s an expensive joke!! It\u2019s crazy to build an expensive payment police system in a bankrupt country where majority of the people have no payments coming to them because they have no JOBS! This can only become necessary when the corrupt practices of a nation\u2019s political elite has become an entrenched culture that has seeped into the fabric of society The cost of eliminating the npp-type of corruption is huge and requires a never-ending and expensive series of remedies, with the potential of each remedy also requiring its own policing digital portal at some point Digitalization in a bankrupt jobs-starved country is like building a bridge to nowhere Let our political leadership set good examples by not looting the public purse and using the money to create JOBS for the people Our ears have been hurting with sermons on digitalization for too long whilst corruption and unemployment rage on Let\u2019s get our priorities properly aligned to serve the burning needs of Ghanaians \u2026 JOBS Good-paying JOBS pls!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
