Ghanaian businessman and economist, Dr Kofi Amoah has criticised the country’s political leadership, accusing them of embezzling public funds instead of fostering an environment conducive to job creation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He contends that without the creation of jobs, initiatives such as digitalization, promoted by the current administration, will be futile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Amoah’s comments were prompted by a post on X (formerly Twitter) by Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, announcing the launch of a digital solution aimed at eliminating ‘ghost’ names from the government payroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr. Kofi Amoah asserts that many individuals facing economic hardship are like ‘walking ghosts,’ a consequence of the policies implemented by the current government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As much as DIGITALIZATION is presented as a spoke in the wheel of development, it\u2019s an expensive joke,” wrote Citizen Kofi, as he is popularly known, on Friday, January 12.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It\u2019s crazy to build an expensive payment police system in a bankrupt country where the majority of the people have no payments coming to them because they have no JOBS!,” he posted.<\/p>\n\n
