Ken Thompson predicts doom for Ghana’s future
The Chief Executive Officer of Dalex Finance and
Leasing Company Limited, Ken Thompson, has
predicted doom for the youth of Ghana should the
nation’s current leadership fail to take
strategic economic decisions for the future.

Mr. Thompson bemoaned the fact the country has
largely ignored agriculture, which is key to the
development of the country.

Speaking on the Citi Breakfast Show, he noted with
worry the fact that huge amounts of monies are
spent on capacity building to the detriment of
major areas that will grow the economy.

Mr. Thompson is of the view that, the country has
the resources to drive development and that
leadership are aware of what must be done to
better the fortunes of the country, but they still
act otherwise.

“It’s not that we don’t have resources; we
have human resources, we have natural resources,
we have the people. We know what to do, but I
don’t know why we are doing this to
ourselves,” he lamented.

He further warned that future generations will
suffer for the failures of leadership.

“Every day, we do not do the things that we know
we have to do, everyday, our children will suffer
that much more. The sins of the fathers will be
visited upon the children – our children will
suffer because we are not doing the right
things.”

He continued his gloomy prediction saying, “They
will have no jobs. Even when they set up
businesses, their businesses will collapse. When
they go to the hospitals, there will be no
equipment, there will be no drugs,” he warned.
