A LETTER TO DR. BAWUMIA ABOUT THE TRUE STATE OF THE COUNTRY - Nii Aryitey

A LETTER TO DR. BAWUMIA ABOUT THE TRUE STATE OF THE COUNTRY - Nii Aryitey

Dear Your Excellency Dr. Mahamadu Bawumia, I have known you since 2006 and followed your profile since that year till now and I wish to crave your concern about the current state of affairs in this country, maybe certain informations are not reaching you well about our current national circumstances.
Dr. Bawumia, our ancestors taught us to fight and be bold enough to face the fact and tell the truth as it is, irrespective of the circumstances it may incur. And I guess democracy is all about opinions, in as much as wisdom is not quantified by age, grey hairiness or position.
I am self employed and at least I have some few workers I manage to pay even though times are tough and income is not matching expenditure, but we hope for the best.
There is one thing Ghanaians are assured of, and that is security and sanity. We are really enjoying our police, military protections and other national security agencies and their effort to stabilise our country as far as peace and justice is concern, and this has moved on from one government to the other since the beginning of the fourth republic and am glad to say that both government has done well in this wise.
Your Excellency, you took over the office of governance since 7th January 2017 and by now I hope many Ghanaians have exhausted their trust for this government, because Mr. Bawumia, things are not well. I personally use a Nissan Sentra 2006 model with 1.8 engine capacity and about 2 years ago GHC20 worth of fuel could transport me from Mallam to Tema and and return on the same fuel and even use some to do other errands, but now it is not like that, I have to buy at least GHC 50 to run same errand and this is making situations unbearable.
Dr. Bawumia, everyone is complaining about fuel, taxi drivers, trotro drivers, private car owners and other vehicle owners, are all saying that the current fuel price is a big blow. Please could you tell us the whole truth about the fast running fuel prices?.
Something must be done about our falling cedi, it is a shame and a big embarrassment to see our cedi performance in the forex market and how our government is unable to resolve the currency situation.
Dr. Bawumia, with all due respect, is there no other measure to apply in other to relinquish this giant behaviors of the dollar on our cedi?

Before the 2016 elections, you promised us good news for the cedi, but since you assumed office nothing is done about it and this is so disheartening, it is making our international trade and businesses so difficult to control and as such the economy is broadly affected.
Because of this, goods and services are going higher per day and livelihood is become so discomforting, we don't know how information reaches the presidency, but to be honest with you, tampers are rising against this government and one day this government may not be able to control the rage of the people, something must be done.
Our GDP debt clock for this year has reached above $6billion and we ask the question, were are those monies?
What were the monies used for?
Is there anything government is not doing right?
We must be very careful about the situation, it may plunge this country into a serious mess.
Dr. Bawumia, if your economic theories are not working for you, with all due respect, try the takashi economic plans, the long talks and fables are becoming too much, something must be done.
If the free shs is consuming more than necessary, change the system of running it, change the structure and allow other parts of the economy to also have a fair share of the national cake.
