My beloved country, Ghana is over 50 years, and for those past years, we have been undergoing reforms of all kinds. We never get tired of reforms. We create, destroy, form, reform and then we create and start the whole process again. It’s almost like some sort of obsession or disease. Maybe it’s those donors- everyone of them has conditions attached to their money. But if it means starting something new so that a chief executive of a government institution somewhere can have something “small” in his pocket, why not? As long as the donors are happy that we are doing something useful and the money keeps coming, he is sure to finish that five bedroom apartment at East Legon in time before Christmas.
Last week, we were told that the Basic Education results were in and once again a good proportion of the candidates did not make it, and another chunk had their results cancelled for various examination offences (570 we are told).
