Brigadier General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah, seasoned politician, has bemoaned the state of the economy several years after independence.
According to him, the Ghanaian political system is currently rotten than it was before the June 4 revolution and insists the lack of courage is “sinking Ghana.
He called on the Ghanaian people to be courageous and speak the truth because the country continues to collapse.
He noted that plantain he bought today for GHC3, costs more than the house he built years back.
“Let us have the courage to speak the truth and our mind. I am not saying I am an extra courageous person but we should speak the truth,” he noted.
“Tt costs me today’s 50 pesewas to build my house and with a salary equivalent to present day GH₵12.00, I could live like an Arab Chief. I am not an economist but the country has collapsed. I recently bought plantain for GH₵3 and that costs more than the house I live in.”
“I don’t speak unless I have something sensible to say. If I have nothing sensible to say, I don’t open my mouth. I have said all I can say to help the nation but they are not listening to me and we are where we are now,” he intimated.
