Dr. Ishmael Yamson highlighted that Ghana’s economic challenges are largely self-inflicted and called for collective responsibility from both leaders and citizens. He acknowledged the difficult journey ahead, while expressing confidence that, with determination and support for President Mahama, positive change is possible. Unity and active participation are crucial for overcoming the nation’s economic difficulties.
Dr. Ishmael Yamson, Chairman of the National Economic Dialogue, acknowledged that the task of revitalizing Ghana’s economy is a formidable one, as promised by President John Dramani Mahama. He indicated that the recovery journey will be fraught with numerous challenges, stemming from both within the country and external pressures. Nevertheless, he voiced optimism, affirming that with steadfast leadership from President Mahama, the initiative is poised to bear fruit, with the Ghanaian populace ready to support this ambitious vision.
During the National Economic Dialogue, themed “Resetting Ghana: Building the Economy We Want Together,” on March 3, Dr. Yamson identified that most of Ghana’s economic trials are self-produced and require attention. He maintained that, despite the gravity of these issues, they can be resolved collaboratively by the nation’s leaders and its citizens. He called on the public to take active responsibility in shaping the future of the nation, highlighting the necessity of unity and perseverance to alleviate economic difficulties.
Dr. Yamson emphasized, “The sad truth is that the overwhelming majority of our problems are homegrown and self-inflicted. Only our leaders and the people of Ghana can and must resolve these issues. Let us take responsibility for resetting our destiny with our own hands.”
He further remarked, “The journey to reset Ghana will not be easy. It will be rough, full of risks and frustrations from within and outside. However, with the determined leadership you have promised and the ownership you take, you shall succeed. Besides, there are many Ghanaians who are ready to stand by you and work with you to deliver your bold vision,” underscoring a collective effort towards national rejuvenation.
In summary, Dr. Ishmael Yamson asserts that Ghana’s economic challenges are primarily self-inflicted and emphasizes the need for collective responsibility from both leadership and citizens. While the path ahead may be arduous, he remains hopeful that with President Mahama’s leadership and the public’s support, the country can overcome these obstacles and reset its economic trajectory. A united effort is essential for achieving the desired outcomes.
