General News of Wednesday, 19 March 2014 Source: Daily Guide Mahama, ministers are a bunch of liars - Prof. Adei Professor Stephen Adei, former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA) has described President John Dramani Mahama and his Cabinet Ministers as a bunch of liars who have refused to tell Ghanaians the true state of the economy. According to him, Ghanaians must be told the truth if we want to have a good country. They [must] prepare to endure hardship and make sacrifices for a better future, he said. Professor Adei made the remarks as a guest speaker to crown a two-day marriage seminar organised by the First Baptist Church in Tema under the theme: The Christian Home, aimed at sharpening the skills of counsellors. The university scholar noted that the country was filled with lies. You live in a country where the President is lying; Ministers are lying, and everybody is lying. How can a Head of State stand in front of a country in this state of affairs and say that the economy is good? It is not good; things are hard, he stated in reference to President Mahamas recent State of the Nation Address. He was of the view that although it was going to be a challenge, if we want to have a good economy and country, we have to buckle up as a country, increase national savings, discipline our appetite and decrease corruption, among others. The educationist, who doubles as a theologian, called for a change in leadership behaviour and adopt a national approach to governance, so as to facilitate faster economic transformation. Professor Adei admonished the leadership of the State to demonstrate candour and truthfulness to build a better Ghana based on telling people the truth.
