Mr. Harry
Yamson says most institutions in the country responsible for the growth of the
economy, have failed to adhere to laid down and moral principles.
An Economic analyst, Harry
Yamson, is blaming politicians and public servants for not doing due diligence
to make the economy of the country flourish.
Mr. Yamson, who was
speaking at a book launch on the theme ‘Principles needed to help us see the
Ghana we want to see,’ said most institutions in the country responsible for
the growth of the economy, have failed to adhere to laid down and moral
principles.
“There is a dearth of
leadership and robust institutions to oversee the running of the economy in the
best interest of all Ghanaians,” he said.
He said the conversation
and vision about national prosperity which has long been sustained in the
public domain, is clear that the vision has been expressed more out of
frustration with the failure to break out of a long-standing malaise, and in
parochial terms by individuals, firms, businesses, political parties and even,
development partners.
The Management Consultant
and nouveau politician said the involvement of political parties and public
service with private interests, is destroying the future in terms of social
cohesion, fair income distribution, development and social mobility.
“What has been missing is
a clear picture of what a prosperous Ghana should look like that we all accept
and work towards,” he added.
He said it’s time for leaders to
spend lonely hours in thoughtful consideration and public debate cloaked in
wisdom and honesty, to define the Ghana the ordinary Ghanaian want to live in.
Mr. Yamson bemoaned, the
lack of principles by various institutions has largely contributed to Ghana
considered an emerging, highly indebted country albeit statistically of a
lower-middle-income status.
