Person in Parliament (MP) for Northern Tongu Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has outlined fifteen governance issues that he expects the particular Akufo-Addo Administration to address this season. In a Facebook post, he or she called on the President in order to abandon plans to apply the electronic transactions garnishment (E-Levy) and in its stead, cut expenditure. He furthermore wants the President to prevent chartering expensive private aircraft and account to the individuals for the expenditure on the renting of private jets up to now. Then again he wants the particular President to address youth work and properly audit COVID-19 expendture so far. Read every his fifteen expectations beneath: My Governance Expectations meant for 20221) President Akufo-Addo should listen to the overwhelming most of Ghanaians including experts, city society organizations, religious physiques and political parties that are all legitimately demanding which he jettisons the obnoxious plus highly inflammable E-Levy; 2) Government should in place of the particular insensitive E-Levy pursue strenuous expenditure cuts. For instance: reduce the GHS3. 1billion part to the Office of Authorities Machinery (OGM), drastically slow up the near GHS1billion set aside because Contingency Vote (a frightening 431. 5% increase in only one year), suspend projects like the new Accra International Meeting Centre estimated at €116million, put on ice the suggested 5 STEM universities, fall the Abuakwa Standard Arena, Regional Art Theatres, Brand new Embassies, Boankra Green Technologies City and Tourism Town, and so on and so forth; 3) Chief executive Akufo-Addo must desist through the obstinate charter of ultra-luxury US14, 000 an hour professional jets and make great use of our Presidential Plane which remains in perfect condition. He should come back the LX-DIO to the operators – Global Plane Luxembourg; 4) President Akufo-Addo should in the interest associated with transparency, accountability and regard for Ghanaians, disclose the entire cost of what Ghanaians right now call his “skybath” trips. His continuous unjustifiable concealment will only trigger further actions from our end; 5) Youngsters Unemployment is robbing the particular dignity of our youth. YouStart cannot be the panacea — it is extremely flawed assumption in order to proceed on the premise that will everyone can be a successful business owner. A quick fix is to fill up the thousands of job opportunities currently available in numerous departments through teaching, planning, nursing, policing, immigration, fire service, military, sanitation, local government etc . Arises from the expenditure cuts We advocate can be used to pay these types of new employees.
Also, government should spend contractors so they can expand their own staff strength and stop the particular lay offs. Incentives in order to private sector employers that engage fresh graduates will give you the youth better possibilities than the moribund YouStart. 6) President Akufo-Addo should commission rate a special independent audit straight into all COVID-19 related expenses, failing which Parliament ought to take up the responsibility; 7) Leader Akufo-Addo needs to first of all acknowledge that corruption has conquered his administration and that a good urgent, honest, new technique is required to save this nation the billions of dollars entering few illegitimate pockets. Chief executive Akufo-Addo can begin with instant retrievals from corrupt authorities and institutions as found in recent reports of the Auditor-General. This is another potent option to the E-Levy — just retrieve and block the particular loopholes. 8)President Akufo-Addo should fix the leadership vacuum cleaner at the Ministry of Sex, Children and Social Safety — that should be one of Ghana’s most important ministries considering the worrying levels of social vulnerabilities, weakened social safety nets, plus poverty; 9) Government should in this month of The month of january redeem its long excellent obligations to NABCO students, national service personnel, instructor trainees, nursing trainees, frontline healthcare workers and recently recruited workers. In addition , the particular 4% wage increases over the board for 2021 should be honoured. Arrears to a large number of workers especially teachers is certainly most repugnant. Government should foster better labour relationships with organized labour and possess them more respect plus empathy; 10) President Akufo-Addo must open all our own land borders with instant effect. This aberration provides regrettably earned for our Leader, a duplicitous reputation because ECOWAS Chairman. 11) Sufficient of the Frontiers Healthcare Providers extortion at the Kotoka Airport terminal. If the exorbitant US$50 plus US$150 for antigen testing aren’t drastically revised down by February, we will announce a series of resistance activities. 12) Government must start a full-scale independent technological enquiry into the credibility associated with Ghana’s COVID-19 testing routine. We are receiving unnerving reviews from diplomatic corridors plus from passenger airline providers about a high incidence associated with suspected dubious test outcomes; 13) Ghanaians love our own football — this is an AFCON and World Cup 12 months. It is not too late for Govt to fashion out the ideal policy climate and galvanize needed patriotic attitudes since our national football group goes in search of fame. It is also imperative to see a planned, creative effort to create national support for the Dark Stars. COVID-19 constraints means that unlike the past, only a few supporters can accompany the particular team to Cameroon plus Qatar, however , working with the particular private sector, we can make safe, therapeutic, outdoor carnival experiences here in Ghana for the citizens who have been under a lot stress. 14) President Akufo-Addo should muster the bravery to dismiss all their errant Ministers who rather than concentrating on their ministerial duties are busy campaigning to become NPP Flagbearer. The flurry of Christmas and Brand new Year bulk messages plus proliferation of billboards nationwide is adequate evidence the fact that aspirants already consider Leader Akufo-Addo a lame sweet and are unprepared to attention his caution. Sadly, Vice President Bawumia has provided no exemplary conduct that could have helped restrain committed Ministers.
A good economy in crisis needs a governmental team that is concentrated, and gives its rescue objective total and undivided interest. 15) Legislature-Executive relations should improve this year. The old power-intoxicated rancorous order must cave in to honest sincere general opinion building on the issues that issue to Ghanaians. It is very clear to me that President Akufo-Addo must stop the démission and dereliction as supreme leader of government company. It should now be clear towards the President that the posture associated with belligerence and intransigence is definitely exceedingly unhelpful and harmful in a hung parliament. Ideally, true leadership, listening to the individuals, fidelity to our laws, taking dissenting views, and authentic patriotism shall hold swing and prevent the parliamentary brawls of 2021. May Lord bless our dear Republic, this year and always. Resource: MyNewsGh. com/ 2021Send your own news stories to [email protected] and through WhatsApp on +233 202452509
