Ghanaian actress, Martha Ankomah has registered her displeasure over bad governance by the leadership in the country as she compares Ghana to Dubai.
.
In an interview on Accra FM, Martha Ankomah lamented over the fact that Ghana is heavily endowed with mineral resources like oil and others but the country is still not developing and its citizens are poor meanwhile, Dubai who only has oil has been able to develop its country.
.
She laments that “if Dubai extracts only oil and has been able to develop its country. And Ghana, God has blessed us with all resources, including oil. And yet, we are poor. Then there is no need for other countries to borrow money from Ghana because it is very worrying.
.
“Ghana has been gifted with everything on earth, but our problem is leadership. And if our leaders are going to change their mindset and have a love for the country, then Ghana would be a better place to be. I feel sad when I see school children under tress learning and MPs drive in V8 sharing goats, chickens and bicycles during elections” she added.
.
The actress pleaded with government officials, especially lawmakers, to prioritise the country’s needs over personal interests.
.
“Do something for someone to say this MP worked. He constructed roads, not the MP that did nothing whiles school children are learning under trees. Good name, the Bible says, is better than riches,” she said.

Please Dubai don't have oil wae
She speaks like someone who hasn't been to school before. Who told you a country's level of wealth is only dependent on the number of natural resources present in the country. This simplistic assessment of how rich a nation should be is so myopic. This girl is so empty. She is just trying to be relevant and subtly let people know she has also traveled to Dubai. I am even wasting my time trying to comment here. Please learn.
You dont teally know what you are talking abt. In Dubai, everything is taxed and everyone pays his/her taxes. How many of us do that. how much is a one bedroom flat in dubai, how much is electricity and water. How much is transport. You can go on and on. Lastly, how much does 10 Dihram etisalat card last on your cell phone. we have soa much flexibility in our system with people of your calibre avoiding taxes yet too like you know all. pls , spare us the time
