1:43 pm
a while and a force to get the car business nice to me later demand for his cars by offering his workers increased wages in. cash but now in america the idea is to increase demand by offering workers access to more debt more credit which is a slippery slope into hell because that debt of course comes in interest payments and the interest on america's debt is not greater than or approaching america's g.d.p. as it is in japan so the global interest of the global debt is approaching the global g.d.p. and you enter into this slippery vortex of credit to collateralize hell where no amount of revenue our taxes will ever pay the debt which is exactly what the plantation owner is what we all be living on the field that. largest consumer he sees and i see it with me in the country is the federal government simply saves property. this the united states privilege it was probably going to realize it can just by. just throw it away.

1:47 pm
of david. to see what he says and who can and that is in. the heat is always too much sure but we can do otherwise or they brought us here today. from the government. all of us for possible what. not for we did this is only better for the community this they knew about community by as drinking from a distant world. but of all what quarters to accommodate more staff so that they can improve their health status of people. in. this growth reflected by the economic indicators does not seem to reach the public clinics of northern ghana.
1:48 pm
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 how do we get a lengthy list war on malaria from several you know some points nearly allies that we need to actually fight a vector of the vector b. and a mosquito that nothing to do and 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 hound and yes even places recruiter volunteers who went into every house and there would to how much and would loose and what rules because
1:49 pm
there were instances where women just don't know that well we don't have a near to meal and my husband it and is true not that he were a fuse and he just refined it live in a community sort of governor when i went out of the away plus at support from a pattern is to provide not only to bed but also did lives and they do is always oh 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 sr who are around near the bed in the pits sleeping peaceful 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 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 do a little numbers does there is and that's how come you realize that our budgets
1:50 pm
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. do your 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 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
1:51 pm
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. 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
1:52 pm
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 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
1:53 pm
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 . today very poor communities. this is. when the government is spending too much crowding out the private sector taking away from detector skilled people who prefer to work for the government or another 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 retarded you kind of things it's not like you need to get. the
1:54 pm
workforce into public sector immediately. in two thousand and nine when. suddenly the. financial markets on the money markets. which is the. same thing that's happened since. so in other words you need the stamp of the i.m.f. to accept. the 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 find employment survive on their own because of the global rhythms that we've got backing them. will release a report which says that economic reform libera forms in africa is actually
1:55 pm
accelerating eighty percent of all reforms to the global crisis two thousand and five two thousand and eight eighty percent of all. in the world i've been 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. 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 eat and these i think should be their real indicators
1:56 pm
of what a middle income inst 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 educational services the credit facilities the. markets that should be the real indicator of what grew fruits. back.
1:57 pm
