The Ghanaian dream is to join politics and get rich quickly – CDD Boss


Read Time: < 1 minute

Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh, Executive Director of CDD-Ghana

Executive Director of the Ghana Centre for Democratic Development (CDD-Ghana) Professor Henry Kwasi Prempeh has said that the Ghanaian Dream is self-enrichment through politics.

For him, the dream of many is to get into politics or close to it and make loads of money quickly.

His assertion was in response to a question posed by Energy Economist Theo Acheampong on what the Ghanaian Dream is as the country marks 65 years of independence from Britain.

With much celebration and well-scripted speeches, Ghanaians celebrated 65 years after attaining independence from Britain.

But Dr Theo Acheampong via Facebook sought to know what the Ghanaian aspires to be.

“Simple Question: What is the GHANAIAN DREAM? #GhanaAt65” he asked. “To get into politics or close to it and make loads of money quick,” Prof Prempeh responded.

Many commenters agreed with Prof Prempeh’s assertion, adding that rather than service, politics has become an avenue for self-enrichment through corruption and embezzlement.

Over the years young politicians with no working experience have become rich overnight in Ghana just because of their involvement with politics.

These young politicians have in a span of a few years built mansions and live luxuriously at the expense of the taxpayer.

The youth of Ghana through the fix the country movement are clamouring for change in the country’s constitution to allow for accountability from public service holders and politicians in the country;.

  • Oct 11 (Reuters) - Noah Rubin has been unable to hit the heights expected of
    him since winning junior Wimbledon in 2014 and the American says he has decided to swap his racket for
    a paddle to explore a career in the fast-growing sport of pickleball. Rubin, who stands 1.75m tall,
    said last month that he would take an indefinite break from tennis.

    He announced his pickleball switch on Monday, poking fun at his height in a video posted on Twitter.
    "It had been an uphill battle where the challenges seemed insurmountable," said
    Rubin. "Even after it shouted in my face I didn't get it. But it was the truth and I was finally ready to accept it. "I'm short - yes it's hard to say
    it out loud but it's the truth - and the tennis court is way too big, there's
    way too much ground to cover." Rubin said pickleball just clicked with him. "This is where I belong.

    This is home now. And in this sport, size doesn't matter." Invented in 1965, pickleball is a fast-paced paddle sport similar to tennis and badminton, though it is played on a smaller court with a net using a perforated plastic ball. A Sports and Fitness Industry Association report released in February said it was the fastest-growing sport in the country with more than 4.8 million participants in the United States and growth of almost 40% in the last two years.
