interesting time for Ghana

The President Akufo-Addo yesterday and I read in today's paper that the direction the president wants the country to go is 'Ghana beyond aid is achievable'. Ghana, 61 years independent still depends on outside money to function and the president wants the country to be self sufficient and says it is possible for it to happen.
I am no politician and never think about things like "how much does the country rely on outside financial support" He talked about the high level of corruption that goes on every day and high fiscal deficits have become a way of life. Ghana needs to develop a path that transforms and leads to a country that is prosperous and self confident. It seems easy to forget that 61 years is not a long time in the history of a country and that it takes time to develop systems that move the country forward.

TV REPAIR
my tv 'off/on' switch would not work all of a sudden so Adu, the fountain of knowing all tradespeople in Sunyani finds his friend, (all the people I get referred he calls 'his friend') so the tv gets picked up, driven to the shop below and after a couple of hours and the new part bought ... voila  a working tv.
Thop may nhe sot look like much but the tv got fixed, just very rough cut boards for the exterior, the interior is about 15 by 15 at the most, the back half full of electronics in varying states of disassembly, parts being used for repairs I hunch
