this growth reflected by the economic indicators does not seem to reach the public clinics of northern gala. 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 one affidavit the ghana has of his children had to wigan at a lengthy list war on malaria from several you know standpoints nearly allies that we need to actually fight a victim director be in the mosque to the north of us to do and i saw recently and five just as recently as two weeks ago the government of ghana but i want to get a house of his son in bed with. fifty percent of the population were given
4:48 pm
you know this hand and yes they've been placed recruiter volunteers who went into every house and there would to how much and would loose and what rules because there were instances where let me just go there well we don't have been near to meal and my husband it and is true not that he were a fuse and he just refined and live in a community sort of governor when i went out of the our way plus and at support from a pattern is to provide not only a bed but also believes and they do is always so don't have the rope so to provide iraq and then hummus they provide hummus and then recruited their volunteers and paid them a lower sister who are around near the bed in the place 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
4:49 pm
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 they are not in because they are not nationals and they have also want to reduce and so do i do a little numbers does that raise and that's how come you realize that our budget that very much a budget that the government you know chairs out and wildly different are for sure because they don't speak and if i did not know the real numbers of people illegal immigrants who are here and but to speak them in our you know look at things that are provided for in a national sword that also is a problem. in
4:50 pm
two thousand and eleven ghana's economy growth rate reached fourteen point four percent. using the profits from gold 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 growth in mining in all sectors we have. checked or but most importantly we have growth in the service industry you know. and so there is a diversification of economic growth. however
4:51 pm
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. behind 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. able
4:52 pm
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 cut back on expenditure which includes pay for public sector because. right now when you talk about the public sector. today very poor communities. but when the government is spending too much it is crowding out the private sector taking away from detector of skilled people who prefer to work for the government or another private sector but also the spending and the boring of the government
4:53 pm
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 retired it just kind of things it's not like we need to get. the workforce into public sector immediately. two thousand and nine when. suddenly the. financial markets and the money markets. which is. same thing has happened since. this year as well so in other words you need. to international market place even if it kills people. and already the betting is on the poor is not on the rich and they will be more and
4:54 pm
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 patients we 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 a way to meet any group we. we had and when we don't go we had to.
4:55 pm
because still in our communities women are going hungry in the lead season women lost in east and when it gets really bad. eat once every day once every two days so that the children can learn 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 should be the real indicator of what goofy is.
