pen and school uniforms my kids need for school. sick i'm going to be. so i have no money left to seat on the day no matter how cheap i might be. demoted you know too much money to. run. a community has a bore hole that isn't easily accessible by all. the damn dries out during the dry season and there isn't enough water for the animals. the government doesn't do anything about our situation when that's done it i mean i could have provided the commanders say with enough water. i mean they refuse to do anything like that for us. almost every government comes and so we are. watching our courts and by the to get on the disc more who'd have fun with an

attorney who we need to support most in most cases deal who can the big be made it bum would do it too far from the farmers. if. you. let her down. live. this is not what this device was this in existence were somehow we have to look at the

sleeplessness that family had to leave after i mean that was then it took them up to this is how i look up was this. slow minute almost everyone money but. this is this it was worthwhile it did come to light it's a double that is this is because you would markets is good now when you do this and would say that. it was well it and then profit it to come back to that have to feed lots of it and then we don't have good markets. we apprehended the government to stop imports and advice from from abroad when to stop and. well as knowledge or putting it in that would be like it's like.

according to. regulations we come over streets the import of certain items in the country but if the globalization that we couldn't restricts them petition all these goose foremost concert competently then one of the area we don't get access is also that because the government does not subsidize and often wish to do so at the high of course. so they cannot compete would be important who don't know what cost indy also contras so competition will be on the home front if imus eventually the government supported him to come compete favorably with imported watch. it and.

let us know we had a good markets and it was government came out with need just in program they came from s. it is to listen to schools and then distance why do you think that the government will buy your program that we don't know is because of their distant look up assessing the i would love this door knob us in the air and then dubreuil so that it will broil in iceland and processed in today is different from what's we had stored emelin yes lots saw and that is that we will get that wood markets pulled in big government liberal by you with some of our they gave us and it is does the same as what was in the media. and just as he made the who should i want to fund that only gets the money rather

right this is left tenant jerry join rawlings who had just overthrown his government. a government he had appointed a few years back after a coup d'etat. i the poor economy was again one of the reasons for the coup. in one thousand nine hundred eighty three j j rowlings asked for help from the i.m.f. which returned to ghana after eleven years of absence and has remained until today . in the following decades the economy thrived the annual average growth rate lies at five percent unemployment has declined and so has poverty which reached fifty one percent in one thousand nine hundred. twenty nine percent in two thousand and six.

the good news does not stop there. it's. quite how much oil. we look at the four year old. the second opportunity being given to discomfort. goes back in the night two thousand and seven that news reports show that gone it made a world class oil discovery the true scope of the size of the field wasn't exactly known but it was clear from that moment on that gonna seem to join the ranks of africa's oil producers. the dependence overall much he also depends on not trying resolves us all by sea it does not bring i want to talk formation of economies in spite of the huge glories of the only hot with not being able to walk again the never so he can only transformation now we we so much

on. there's no point to have an if your ivory get it kind of education they don't really have an oil you forget the us can do to hospitals and get wood health care they still point in have an oil if yo my this i want to be dying in large numbers from. trying to have children. born abroad.

gifty is twenty six years old she is one of two nurses working in this clinic. a doctor rarely comes here and gifty tries to do whatever she can with what she knows. we are covering it up lesion of two thousand one hundred and eleven point seven minutes is that is what that's all attachment. we have one doctor who said i just it was better if when you come into level we don't have so when you we said that subject. and we don't have. mr yakubu is the government appointed district health director he's informed about the problems he let me just douglas of it to tell you that we have

a doctor population issue we have one book that over one hundred sixty one thousand population. one doctor to think of one hundred one answers the one thousand people obviously it's not a base i mentioned that for doc there's little also mentioned for less it's also interested to know that we have a population of one there's two over. two thousand five hundred population i mean again that's a yawning gulbis no we want one there's still is going to kill of more than two thousand five hundred published this new we adequately know. so gifty travels every day from village to village to visit patients and heavily pregnant women who do not have the means to come to the clinic here we have more. so we used to go sometime when dia down when we cannot wouldn't one is

a commie and these people realize that most people did live at. some of their communities one. day their boss ordered mum a drug leaves it this and that as soon as the market be for them to get another come in to do so initial high up in the. liver case i love it time you have to put them bicycles. a woman in labor being put on a bicycle and just threw on did. or sometimes where you can afford it you put up one truck and carried them to the next level. and you can. eat all. wealthy british style. that's not out to the right price go.

to. market why not scandal. find out what's really happening to the global economy and cause a report on r.t. . put the military again in control after a cool what does the future hold for egypt is this country's experiment with democracy a thing of the past what signal this is to send to islamic parties in the region and what washington should be teaching me gypsies ever be redeemed. this journey is not about seeing the world. it's a mission that i could to myself the project form succeeds if i stay in the same place all the time. i've been travelling around the world for twenty days so far in all that time and i haven't spent any money at all the main idea of the project

because of the artist paints people's portraits and return for some periods. we have to get used to each other i think is a little disappointed about the butterfinger because we're still spending a lot of money i mean if i spend it he shouldn't worry about that right now i don't think so goes a great artist but i don't think he's a con man and if you don't like the painting you just don't give anything. to have very high image than a model it in this region. and i can tell you where for two weeks into the this year we were a duke ordered last minute. ninety. three ninety three. now i know that elsewhere one might turn out there is a crisis center megan says jewish. but one region for two weeks into

a year recorded. that it's definitely possible that. you. probably didn't want. to me i tell you this money dish you invest much on the whole site because if you are not healthy i don't think our communities will be default. if our b.p. says down to date we have only one so even though one is down them is declares that we didn't appear when i get that service unless we would for a dent and i doubt sometimes you can just attend to them without taking down by the

us and. my god the builder is spotty and the building keep on coming down because all day we. see what he says a bouquet and that is in. the heat is always too much sure but we can do our wife's were they brought us here today. from the government. all of us for possible water. nor for we did this is only better for the common see this to me about coming to buy as drinking from a distant world. but towards quarters to accommodate more stuff so that they can improve their health status all the people.

reflected by the economic indicators does not seem to reach the public clinics of northern ghana. the district director says that the government is doing its best and gives the free mosquito net program as an example something he recently set up the government of where an affidavit the ghana has of his daughter had to within a lengthy list war on malaria from several you know some points nearly allies that we need to actually find a victim director b. and a mosquito that enough of us could do i saw recently in fact just as recent as two we said will the government of ghana but i want to get a house of his son in bed with. fifty percent of the population were given

you know this hand and yes they can place recruiter volunteers who went into every house and there would be a hammer and would loose and would troops because there were instances where let me just go to the well we don't have been able to kneel and my husband it and is true not that we were refused and he just refined and live in a community sort of governor when i went out of the our way plus at support from out a pattern is to provide not only the bed but also believes and they do is what is so don't have the rope so to provide iraq and then how base they provide hammers and then recruited their volunteers and paid them a lower sr who are around near the bed in the pit sleeping peaceful people. the district health director blames foreigners for the health systems poor condition. he claims that the fault lies with immigrants who have no papers and enter northern ghana from neighboring countries i love people who are in year i

miss sharing the little things that we have you know i yet we are not in because they are not nationals and they have also want to reduce and so do i feel in the numbers because there is and that's how come you realize that our budgets that very much a budget that the government you know chairs out and wildly different are for sure because they don't anticipate and if i do don't know do you numbers of people illegal immigrants who are here and but to speak in in our you know look at things that are provided for in a national sword that also is a problem. in two thousand and eleven ghana's economy growth rate reached fourteen point four percent. using the profits from gold and oil as its driving

force ghana became at least on paper a middle income country. and is the ninth country in africa to reach this position. the i.m.f. policies and the government's reform certainly played their own part in reaching this level. we have a growth in mining in all sectors we have. checked or but most importantly we have growth in the service industry you know. the tories and so there is a diversification of economic growth. however

as the economy grew so did social disparities. the benefits of growth have not been felt by the majority of the population who are left to struggle daily for survival . at the same time they are required to repay the success of loans that the government received from the i.m.f. . prosperity is only achieved by a small elite that lives lavishly in the capital's good neighborhood. fences and barbed wire. according to a two thousand and twelve gallup poll fifty three percent of ghana or about twelve point seven million people cannot afford the cost of food only four percent stated that they are able to live on their income. it's it's clear that you know economic

growth does not necessarily translate into poverty reduction and to reduce poverty we need to have. the authorities here vetting infrastructure education because the same time the i.m.f. is telling the government that actually you have to expenditure which includes pay for public sector and right now when you talk. to the very poor communities. this is. when the government is spending too much crowding out the private sector taking away from detector of skilled people who prefer to work for the government or not the private sector but also the spending and the boring of the government crowding out capital that could be directed to the private sector so the reform will not

happen overnight it's a long term process and probably true you know not hiring new. series seven when people are retarded you kind of things it's not like you need to get. the workforce into public sector immediately. two thousand and nine when. suddenly the. financial markets and the money markets come down the. same thing that's happened since. so in other words you need the stamp of the i.m.f. to be. able to international marketplace even if it kills your own people. and already the betting is on the poor is not on them and they will be more and more and they have even less of a basis to stand up on their own. on their own because of the global rhythms that

we've got backing them. will release a report which says that economic reforms in africa is actually accelerating eighty percent of all reforms to the global crisis two thousand and five two thousand and eight eighty percent of all. in the what i mean taking place in africa ok we have patience which i speak. people are looking at the example of what happened in greece and what you know we have we have all those things those elements which we even intensify the process of. the process of shock. vulnerability and also exacerbate the inequality that. already exists the way me and the group we. were we had and when we don't grow we had to. because still in our communities women are going hungry in the lead season women

are lost in the least and when it gets really bad they meet once every day once every two days so that the children can eat and these i think should be their real indicators of what a middle income. is any child in ghana going to bed hungry. that should be. any woman dying in childbirth. that should be an indicator of how women able to access the health services the education services the credit facilities. markets that she be the real indicator of what goofy is. back.

to the. well of all over my language of all but i will only react to situations i have read the reports for. the pollution and no i will leave them to the state department to comment on your latter point of a month to say to mr kerry you have

a car is on the docket no god. a job no more weasel words when you made a direct question be prepared for a change when you throw a punch be ready for a bad. freedom of speech and little doubt the freedom to question. i would rather ask questions for people in positions of power instead of speaking on their behalf and that's why you can find my show larry king now right here on r.t. question more. i'm
