We must avoid the ‘Matthew Effect’ in Ghana- Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom

 I don’t understand this beggar, cup in hand leadership mentality. Why is it that every opportunity we get, we ask someone else to give us money to fund our development projects? Question: why did President Mahama ask the World Bank President Kim to fund a SADA poverty reduction project given all the controversies surrounding SADA and recent allegations of waste of public funds?

With all the God-given resources we are blessed with, why are we where we are – a nation ridden with debt, disgraced by corruption in high places and held down by illiteracy and poverty?

Entrepreneurial, incorruptible leadership is needed. Or else, we get perpetually caught in the Matthew Effect where the resources we have are continuously taken away from us.

◄ Matthew 25:29 ►

“For whoever has will be given more, and they will have an abundance. Whoever does not have, even what they have will be taken from them.”

◄ Luke 8:18 ►

“Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”

◄ John 15:2 ►

“He cuts off every branch in me that bears no fruit, while every branch that does bear fruit he prunes so that it will be even more fruitful.”
