6:32 am
as chris says in this to her somehow we have to look at the sleeplessness that somebody had to leave after i mean the only senator that not that this is how i look up or is this. slim in almost every woman i met. this is if it was worthwhile it did come to light it is that is because we would markets is good when you do this and lots of them build markets to sell it and profit and 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. oh as knowledge or belief in that would be like it's what.

6:45 am
not healthy i don't think our communities will be default. if our b.p. is down today we are fully working so even though one is down damn is the players that will come we didn't appear will get that service unless we wait for them to bail and that out sometime you can just attend to down without taking down by the us and. my god the building is flat and the building keep on coming down it's only because of the really. see what he says and who can and that is in. the heat is always too much sure but we can do otherwise would they vote because he actually did well . from the
6:46 am
government. all of us for possible want to. know for we did this is only barefoot a committee there's a new about coming to buy as drinking from a just it we'll. but double what quarters to accommodate more staff so that they can improve the health service of the people. in. 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
6:47 am
one affidavit that ghana has of his had to wigan at lentulus war on malaria from several you know some points they realized that we need to actually fight a vector the vector being the mosquito that nothing to do and i saw recently in fact just as recent as two we said. the government of ghana but i got a house of his son in bed with. fifty percent of the population were given you know this hand and yes even places 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 to the well we don't have been near to meal and my husband it i just drew not that they were a fuse and he just refined it near in a community sort of governor when i went out of the our way plus at support from a pattern is to prove i'm not only to bed but also believes and they do is always
6:48 am
so don't have the rope so to provide iraq and then her base they provide hummus and they're recruited they're volunteers and paid them allowances to do or around near the bed in the place sleeping places or people. the district health director blames foreigners for the health systems poor condition. he claims that the fault lies with the immigrants who have no papers and enter northern ghana from neighboring countries people what in year i mean to share in the lives of those that we have you know i yet we are not in because they are not nationals and they have also want to reduce that 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 do don't know do you numbers of people
6:49 am
illegal immigrants who are here and but to speak to him in our you know look at things that are provided for in a national 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 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
6:50 am
a growth in mining in all sectors we have. checked or but most importantly we have growth in the service industry you know. 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. .
6:51 am
prosperity is only achieved by a small elite that lives lavishly in the capital's good neighborhoods. 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 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. now when you talk.
6:52 am
to the very poor communities. 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 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. seven when people retire did 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.
6:53 am
financial markets and the money markets. which is the. same thing has happened since all. so in other words you need. to international market place even if it kills your own people. you know when already the betting is on the ball 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. because of the global rhythms that we've got backing them. that economic reform in africa is actually accelerating eighty percent of all reforms in. two thousand and five two thousand and eight eighty percent of all. in the well i mean. ok we have patients we speak. people are looking
6:54 am
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 to the 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. 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 the children can go and these i think should be their real indicators of what a middle income is 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
6:55 am
able to access the health services the educational services the credit facilities there. markets that she be the real indicator of what goofy.
