FLASHBACK: I feel sorry for Mahama and Ghana - Dr Nduom


Founder of the Progressive People's Party (PPP), Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom under the John Mahama administration noted with concern, the poor state of the Ghanaian economy as well as the president’s appointments.

The report which was originally published by graphic.com.gh made reference to Dr Nduom’s Facebook post in which he lamented the dwindling state of affairs and the president’s seeming nonchalant posture towards addressing issues.

Parts of Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom’s post which he noted that he felt sorry for John Mahama and Ghana read, “I feel sorry for President Mahama and Ghana. I really felt sorry for President John Dramani Mahama and Ghana when I heard two members of his administration and NDC political party on an Accra radio station this past Saturday."

"I wondered, "...are we safe?" These two who are senior members of the Mahama Administration gave us all ample reasons why we are where we are with a "see-saw" economy and a suffering people.”

"According to one of them, high rise buildings, mansions for a few, the Pokuase road among others are "good" reasons for the fiscal deficits Ghana is facing and the depreciation of the cedi. With "experts" like these in government, who needs reality?”

"And if these are the sort of people influencing what the government thinks and does, then I feel sorry for our President and our country. When leaders in places like Dubai are promoting prosperity, thinking ahead and promoting in-bound investment, some of our leaders are blaming developers.”

"The economic crisis we are flirting with has persisted because people with no real grounding about the economy and business realities keep preventing objective discussion about our problems. They see everything as part of a propaganda battle between the party in power and opposition parties. So everything bad must be painted positive and goats turned into cows so their party does not lose favour with the people.”

Andre Ayew headed out of Swansea?

The future of Swansea City forward André Ayew is growing even more uncertain by the day, with interested clubs on standby after speculation concerning his possible availability. The Ghana International leads the charts for the Welsh side, with 11 goals in all competitions so far this season. With Swansea reportedly experiencing some financial instability following their relegation from the Premier League in 2018, Ayew is one of the names that have popped up on the exit list, due to his very high wages. The likes of Daniel James and Oli McBurnie have all left during that period, together with Jordan Ayew and Wilfried Bony among others have helped to significantly lower the wage bill. Tottenham Hotspurs and Championship leaders Leeds United have been identified as front runners for the Ghana international’s signature. Ayew rejoined Swansea from West Ham United in January 2018, then joined Turkish side Fernerbahce on loan for the 2018/2019 season, before returning to the We...
