GHANAS DEVELOPMENT IS MOVING FAST UNDER MY REIGN-PREZ MAHAMA

The mark of every good leader is to create the
best out of a worse scenario and take full
responsibilities when things fall apart under his
watch .
President Mahama demonstrated this leadership
trait when he interacted with some Ghanaians in
Germany during his state visit to the country .
Despite inheriting an economy which he claims
was not all that buoyant , President Mahama
pledged to concentrate on increasing the
acceleration of development in Ghana rather
than shifting blames on his predecessors.
“ At anytime that you are in control and you are
leading , all responsibility for everything that
happens is yours. The blame game won ’ t take us
anywhere and that is why I avoid blaming
anything of the past on any leader .. .I am able
to move this country faster because of what
Rawlings , Kufour and Atta Mills handed over to
me ” , he noted .
From a scientific point of view , he claimed at
one point Ghana , was in a state of inertia ; but
started seeing development after Dr . Kwame
Nkrumah took over.
“ For those of you who have done physics , if a
ball is in state of inertia then it means it is
stationary . You need a greater momentum to
move the ball but as the ball begins to roll , it is
easier to push the ball forward than when it is
in a state of inertia ” , he said .
He continued that since Dr . Nkrumah left power,
development, has never declined and continues
to increase even when democracy switched to the
hands of military leaders .
“ The job President Nkrumah faced was very
difficult because that was independence and he
had to start the whole ball rolling. Professor
Busia came and continued , and even in the
period of military government , Acheampong and
everybody contributed at least something to this
country ”, he acknowledged.
