Comedian and TV show host Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM) has asked President Akufo-Addo to apologise to the citizens for the economic crisis they have been plunged into. Speaking to Joy Entertainment’s Kwame Dadzie in a yet-to-be-aired interview on Joy Prime TV, the celebrated satirist said that Ghanaians have lost the plot in running affairs of the country.
He said that after being driven into a ditch, the country’s leader needs to tell the people that “we are sorry.” “The President should come and tell us that we are in a big mess. And that ‘we are sorry.’ We created this mess. The mess didn’t come from anywhere, … our own pettiness; drove us this far,” he said.
Among other things KSM highlighted some ways government can alleviate the burden on Ghanaians. “The first thing to do is to scrap ex gratia…the ex gratia from now to [say] five years is being scrapped. Let us cut down the number of people at the Presidency to let the people know that we are in a mess,” KSM further stated. Watch KSM’s interview on governance, creative arts education, comedy and more on Joy Prime TV on Friday, February 10, 2023, at 5:30 pm.
