The Centre for National Interest and Research (CNIR) -GH has indicated that Ghana’s economic woes of today have been caused by home-grown failures of politicians. (CNIR) -GH also blamed the absence of patriotism and the hanged parliament for worsinging the situation. In the view of the center, the current poor economic condition could lead to a very serious social and economic disaster.
These and many other issues were contained in a press release dated 26th February 2023.
Below is the full press release…
CENTER FOR NATIONAL INTEREST AND RESEARCH CNIR – GH
PRESS RELEASE
26th February 2023
GHANA’S ECONOMIC WOES, POLITICIANS OWN HOMEGROWN FAILURES.
“Patriotism means to stand with the country,” Theodore Roosevelt famously stated, and not supporting the President is what it means. The current difficulties affecting Ghana’s economy is closely been monitored by the Center for National Interest and Research and if care is not taken this could lead to a very serious social and economic disaster.
Which can mostly be blamed on the 8th hanged Parliament of (137+1+137) under the 1992 Constitution, this was believed to have been the country’s savior, however, it has fallen short of Ghana’s expectations, failing to rein in the executive and to gain the confidence and trust of Ghanaians.
It has horribly fallen short of public expectations, especially when it comes to limiting the executive’s overbearing control, borrowing and policies.”
As a result of this the nation is now facing unparalleled social and economic problems which has led many Ghanaians to have lost faith in both political party politicians and politics as well as the 1992 constitution.
On the way forward, Ghana desperately needs a stabilizing philosophy, in order to leave a legacy of strength, integrity, honesty, and a sense of national purpose.
“The entire nation needs to experience a resurgence of patriotism, similar to the era of our unsung business and nationalist Heroes from 1897 to 1957.
There is the urgent need ro encourage the younger generation of Ghana to rethink politics and/or political office holding in the 21st century and beyond as a shared responsibility and one’s service to his/her country but not as an employment, a profession or profit making ventures.
Understanding and sharing the journey, achievements and contributions of the chronological accomplishments and contributions of our unsung business and nationalist heroes who made significant selfless contributions to Ghana’s social, economic, and political history from (1897–1957) as our principle Founding Fathers.
Falsification or distortion of Ghana’s founding fathers’ history has bitterly served the purpose of specific selfish interests rather than the country’s best interests.

“As a result, a group of people may start to believe that they alone own a community or a nation and that they alone are entitled to all of that nation’s governance and resources”.
Some of the regrettable statements such as “Ghana will not have a history if the role of the people of” Akyem” is removed from Ghana’s history”, “People from areas with insufficient natural resources shouldn’t be given political authority to run this country”.
Some people linked to such statements in reality have rather end up destroying the country when in political office, and to advance our social and economic independence, the Center is urging all Ghanaians who have their “country’s interest at heart” to rise up and join the national interest movement campaign towards a knowledge-based revolutionary strategy, towards a Centenary Republic where everyone will have an equal social, economic and political rights.
