‘We Must Not Sit Like Ostriches With Our Heads In The Sand’ – John Mahama Tells Gov’t Over Unemployment

Former President, John Dramani Mahama has said lamented on the issues of unemployment in the country.

According to him, it is a serious problem confronting both previous and current government and therefore it needs to be dealt with all seriousness.

Mr John Mahama was addressing some local council of churches at meeting when he made these assertions.

He added that the economy of the country is not growing fast enough to help create jobs for Ghanaian youths especially students who graduate from universities.

The former president further noted that the NDC are ready to join hands with the ruling party to hold a high submit to deliberate on how they join hands to eradicate unemployment in the country.

Mr Mahama lamented that the current government and political leaders have not pay heed to his call but he hopes they have a change of mind and reach out to him soon.

However, Mr John Mahama explained that the dangers politicians face if they fail to create jobs for Ghanaians is the people lose faith and interest in the system of governance.

“When people begin to lose faith in your democratic system of governance, and people begin to lose faith in the state ability to protect to care for them, that is when you begin to have situations when people begin to take arms against the state,” he noted.

The former head of state said countries where the presence of the government is not felt in terms of taking care of the welfare of the people, the people protest and attack government officials.

He added that Ghana is not immune from any form of violence. On this note, he called on the Christian body to always pray and intercede for government and political leaders.
