Our political elites have service passports and they\u2018ve all traveled before. They\u2019ve seen how others have developed their countries. But have hidden under the cloak of public ignorance about what pertains elsewhere, to do little or nothing for us&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>His Wednesday, (August 3 2024), write-up indicated that, \u201cThere was a lot of hope as evidenced in the outcome of the 2016 elections. But there appear to be hopelessness now, with virtually every appointee preparing to survive after possible exit, while still nursing some infinitesimal hope of keeping on\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Prof. Gyampo again added that, &#8220;Publicly, a few paint an impression that a certain EIGHT is gonna be broken, but in reality they are focused more on \u201cpacking\u201d rather than governing, in a manner that sacrifices the quest, for legacy in governance. It\u2019s not about breaking any EIGHT; and it\u2019s not about packing for a possible exit. It\u2019s about governing well; and effectively discharging tasks reposed for the benefit of posterity&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/4d70987585554299b7c32ef977a8fcd0\"\/><\/p>\n<p>He quizzed; &#8220;How have others handled a situation like the one we have on hand&#8221; And adding that, &#8220;Our leaders have traveled and have seen it all.
