Actress Lydia Forson has taken a swipe at the current government over the indiscriminate borrowing it Is now engaged in, despite spending all its time in opposition slamming the previous NDC government for the same fault.
Forson, in a post on twitter, said even in her personal life she knows not to borrow for frivolous expenditures when she Is broke but the entire government of Ghana somehow does not possess this wonderful piece of common sense.
Recently the news has been all about the government taking a $50bn, 100 year loan facility from the People’s Republic of China.
Forson, in response to that and other developments on the economic front, posted on twitter condemning the crazy raft of borrowing and spending on ‘useles’ things (like a National Cathedral perhaps?).
“When I’m broke I try to live within my means, I only buy what I NEED and not what I WANT. I won’t “free” a Gucci bag to pay later; Ha am I MAD?! But in Ghana, the broker the country is the more we borrow and the more we spend on frivolous things. Ok oh”. the AMVCA award winning actress posted.
The outspoken actress was a bane in the side of the previous Mahama administration and obviously does not plan to slow down in criticizing government excesses she does not approve of.

You are an ***barred word*** so leave this platform meant for humans. Your stapidity won't stop anyone from borrowing. If you have an issue go to court. Ghana started with South Korea but look at the difference between the 2 today. If you and your family have been productive we won't be borrowing like this.
This is simple, and she seems to be brainy than Bawumia. Simple economics 101
@Kwekwe wa gyi.mi paah. Parliament-who? I hardly disagree with Lydia but she is making sense. Would you borrow excessively if you were broke? Ghana fuo agyi.mi too much. Na Casely Hayford nso be ka ni min tie ah, Council of State should settle feud between Shatta and Stonebwoy, agyi.mi.fuo nkoa na ekasa. Lydia, this one deir, God bless you. When the 100yr Debt Bond goes through and Kewkwe and his mother, and father, and children, and grandchildren are indebted, he will remember your post.
You think they borrow for fun. We have parliamrntarians who decide on the budget and how much we need to borrow; they work with the finance ministry and bank of Ghana etc. They nation giving out the loan only does so because they know we have oil, cocoa, bauxite etc so they will get their money back.
What do you know about economics and good governance? Or you just want to be heard?
Another empty headed african. it would have been better if your post was in twi rather than english.
another empty noise maker..proffering her warped economic mind... Ghana ay3 free for all.
Incongruous analogy. As if it were that simple.
