        African leaders have become great speech makers but little is to be seen in action. Let's see Ghana move towards self-sufficiency then we will applaud his brave words.

        I don't a #Ghana-ian leader has spoken like this ever though and it's up to the temperament of the citizens to hold their own leaders to their word

        I completely agree. Complacency and the inactivity of those who have a voice, through the vote & activism, is the scourge of democracy.

        Well, it's human beings that should make the system and institutions work. We have all the institutions - I know my country has - but they are not working. Why? Because the human beings working there are busy seeking their interests and looting the taxpayers' money.
