2:49 pm
a lower sister who are around near the bed in the pits in place of the 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 people were in year i mean to share in the lives of those that we have you know and yet the are not in because they are not nationals and they have also want to reduce it so we don't actually know yet numbers does that raise 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 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
2:50 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.
2:51 pm
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 day 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
2:52 pm
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 cut back on the expenditure which includes pay for public sector and. now when you talk about the public sector . to the very poor communities. this is. when the government is spending too much crowding
2:53 pm
out the private sector taking away from detector skilled people who prefer to work for the government president of 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 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. so in other words you need the stamp of the i.m.f.
2:54 pm
to accept. the international marketplace even if it kills your own people. and already the betting is on the poor is not on the rich 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 new labor forms in africa is actually accelerating eighty percent of all reforms in the global crisis two thousand and five two thousand and eight eighty percent of all. in the well have been taken place enough 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.
2:55 pm
vulnerability and also exacerbate the inequality that. already exists the way you mean we grow we. 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 lost in east and when it gets really bad they meet once every day once every two days so that their children can and these i think should be their real indicators of what a middle income economy is any child in ghana going to bed hungry. that should be. these any women dying in childbirth. that should be an indicator of how women able to access the health services the education services the credit facilities the. markets that should be the real indicator of what goofy.
