Bad governance contributes to national development - Mahama

President John Mahama says he is doing his best to move the country forward regardless the many challenges being faced by government.

Addressing the Ghanaian community in Germany, the President likened the country to a ball being in a state of inertia.

He said, “When you have a ball…if the ball is in a state of inertia, you need a greater momentum to move the ball but as the ball continues to roll it’s easier to move it than when you move it in a state of inertia.”

President Mahama noted that, “However bad a government is, it contributes to moving the nation forward”; adding that, blaming a previous government for its failures would not contribute to the development of the country.

“So far as you are leading, all responsibility for everything that happens is yours. The blame game won’t take us anywhere. And that is why I avoid blaming anything on the past or any past leader,” he said.
