This week's episode of Ghana in Focus asks a pertinent question, who really owns Ghana.
This is in light of Ghana celebrating its 67th year of so called independence on 6th March 1957.
The question of who really owns Ghana is a cogent one given the assertion that political independence is meaningless without economic independence.
Given this we analyse 5 key sectors of the Ghanaian economy. These sectors are Banking, Gas/Oil, Telecommunications, Mining and Retail.
We give a critical analysis on each sector and conclude that these key sectors of the Ghanaian economy ARE NOT in the complete control of Ghanaians.
This means that if Ghana does not control the key sectors of its economy Ghana is essentially economically dependent on others for its survival and to buttress the point it is stated that up to 60%b of Ghana 's budget is made up of donor sources.
So 67 years after so called independence Ghana has yet to achieve economic independence and a generation of leaders has failed Ghana in this instance.
The task now especially for a new generation of forward thinkers and innovators is to transform the economy of Ghana where Ghana can become truly economically independent where it is able to make decisions that are independent of external influence that can truly transform the lives of its citizens.
