\nA Lecturer at the University of Ghana Professor Ransford Gyampo has quizzed whether President Akufo-Addo lied that Ghanaians are sitting on money (y\u025bte sika so). He also quizzed if the money Ghanaians are sitting on is not enough to tackle Ghana’s economic crisis.![](\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/242b01141a3042a8a90d3734fd004806\"\/)

In a post shared on his official Facebook page on Saturday, 1st October 2022, he wrote;<\/p>\n
“Mentally Retarded inflation- Is the money we are sitting on, suddenly not enough to tackle our economic miserization?\u00a0Did the President lie that \u201cy3 te sika so? Covid and Ukraine-Russian conflict, cannot affect us more than the rest of Africa.”![](\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/54bd1aaee4e24a23a4e42a84121668aa\"\/)
<\/p>\n
Prof Gyampo in a separate post remarked that a reading of the Hobbesian account of the generation of the Leviathan, tells us why a government is instituted. It is not to explain problems but to solve them. Being erudite in telling us why we are where we are, is mis-governance! <\/p>\n
Background<\/strong><\/p>\nProf Gyampo’s comment comes as a background to President Akufo-Addo’s famous quote during his campaign before winning the election 2016. The President said; “Ghana ay\u025b mm\u0254b\u0254 dodo, y\u025bte sika so nso \u025bk\u0254m de y\u025bn.” This literally translate into “Ghana is pitiable, we are sitting on money yet we are starving.<\/p>\n
Following Akufo-Addo’s second term in office, Ghana’s economy is in shambles and a bailout from IMF is even underway. The government attributes the hardships to the effect of COVID-19 and the Russian -Ukraine.<\/p>\n
