Ghana is going to the IMF because our leaders are unable to think - Jr. Kwesi Pratt.
Kwesi Pratt Jr, the Editor-in-Chief of the Insight Newspaper, has slammed the Akufo-Addo administration for seeking an IMF bailout.
According to Kwesi Pratt Jnr, the country's leaders kept making the same mistakes that landed Ghana in the IMF's clutches, and it was time for them to think.
"Let us put on our thinking caps," he advised during a public lecture organized by the pressure group Arise Ghana.
The forum, held at Accra's GNAT Hall, was titled "Ghana's Socioeconomic Outlook, the Prospects of an IMF Program."
According to the outspoken journalist, there were "no prospects in going to the IMF," and he went on to say that the Bretton Woods institution had been an executioner of developing countries for many years, and Ghana was no exception.
He claimed that the country's rising fuel prices and food shortages all pointed to the fact that those in positions of power are not thinking.
"We have far too many inept leaders." "Now tell me how the IMF is going to cure our leaders' stupidity," the press freedom advocate raged.
"No country went to the IMF and got problems solved," he said, blaming the return to the IMF on reckless borrowing on the part of the Akufo-Addo administration, which he claims has refused to invest in domestic policies to boost the economy.
"Guinea fowls are now being imported from Denmark [to Ghana]," he explained.
"It's insane to keep doing the same thing and expecting different results," he chided.
He couldn't understand why Ghanaians still import and buy used clothing in the country after many years of independence.
