Recently, a group of Ghanaians who are satisfied with the current economic challenges in the country has taken to social media to express their dissatisfaction.
Within this short period, the hashtag #FixTheCountry on social media has become a common language to every aggrieved and unhappy Ghanaians across the country by way of expressing their displeasure over successive governments’ failure to improve the living standards of Ghanaians.
However, responding to the calls by the movement for government to fix the country, the finance minister Mr. Ofori Atta believes, Ghanaians should support the government in fixing the country together.
“In the coming days, we will move swiftly to address the issues that #FixTheCountry have raised. First, I am working with the Minister for Water and Sanitation to immediately ensure potable water to areas of critical need. Secondly, I am working with the Ministers of Roads and Highways, Transport and Interior to address congestion along the major highways. Thirdly, we are fast-tracking the implementation of the $200 million jobs and skills programme and economic transformation programme to enhance job creation significantly.”
“Fourth, starting this month, we are rolling out over eight additional interventions under the GhanaCARES Obatanpa programme and these will be in the health, agriculture, trade, tourism, digitisation, science and technology, housing and financial service sectors. Fifth, by the end of July, we will have a new development bank capitalized with over $500 million that will provide long term whole financing and not retail, as happened in the past, to the private sector through commercial banks and non-bank financial institutions such as venture capital companies for SMEs, to ensure financing to the youth. So let us rise up and build together and let us #FIXTOGETHER.” He said
