Ghanaians: Constructive criticism offering alternative creative-solutions is best nation-building path to tread on

That Ghana's economy is in dire straits is not in dispute. However, despite the grim situation Mother Ghana now faces, it is vital, as a wise and aspirational African people, that we never forget the indisputable-fact that we actually have what it takes, to recover from the situation of near-bankruptcy, now plaguing us, and return our beloved country to a path that will lead our homeland Ghana, to eventually become a prosperous and equitable society, in which all demographics live well, within a decade.


No one, who comes to Ghana, from overseas, will fail to notice the many pluses we are blessed with, chief amongst which, is the boundless energy, creativity and positive work ethic of tens of thousands of the world-class middle-class solid-achievers, in all spheres of our national life, who have managed to make a difference for this beautiful and welcoming nation, full of warm-hearted and generous-spirited people.


If we are to harness the nous and gumption that drIves the successes of our nation's world-class solid-achievers, for the transformation of our country into a prosperous and equitable society, then we will have to end the national malaise of endless criticism without proffering creative alternative solutions, when speaking truth to power, on all issues of concern to ordinary people's well-being, across our country.


Le us start off, by remembering that power inevitably corrupts most of those who weild it, and that we must therefor remain eternally vigilant, in ensuring that state-capture for private profits, at society's expense, is kept to the barest minimum (humanly possible), by constantly demanding transparency, and accountability, from those we elect to govern our country, and the senior career public officials, paid well by taxpayers, to advise our elected leaders.


The more responsible sections of Ghana's mainstream media, have an important role in the process of transforming Ghana into a prosperous and equitable society. They must ensure, at all material times, that their platforms are bedrocked on balanced reporting, fairness and pursuit of the common-good - by refusing to allow themselves to serve as platforms for pushing the secret agendas of the powerful individuals benefiting from state-capture profiting private pockets, at society's expense. Above all, they must focus on encouraging their platforms for the public airing abd dissemination of constructive criticism that offers alternative-solutions to policies that don't redound to the benefit of ordinary people across Ghana.


Finally, dear reader, the bald truth we must acknowledge as a wise and aspirational African people, is that there really is no substitute, to constructive criticism proffering alternative creative-soluti when speaking truth to power: it is most definitely the best nation-building path to tread on, for the process of transforming Ghana into a prosperous and equitable society. That, and never-ending hard work, by all demographics in our country.
