President of the Staff Association of WAHO (ATO)
On the occasion of the visit of H. E. Ambassador Kadre Desire Ouedrago
President of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS)
Bobo-Dioulasso, Burkina Faso, 21st March 2014

Please join me to invoke the blessings of the All-Merciful Allah for the save arrival of the President and his Party:
Our only creator and provider of our needs, we thank you and honour your glorious name for putting together this day including the programme that we are about to hold. To you, oh good father who control all things, we humbly turn to ask for protection, unity and sense of purpose.
So help us God.
Amina and Amen!
H. E. Ambassador Kadre Desire Ouedrago, President of the Economic Community of West African States and delegation;
Our esteemed WAHO Director General, Dr. CRESPIN Xavier, and able Deputy Director General Dr. Laurent Aholofon Assogba; Divisional Directors;
Resident Comptroller from the Office of the Financial Comptroller of ECOWAS; Madame Vice President and other members of the Executive Committee of ATO;
Professional Officers and all other cherished members of ATO;
Members of the Fourth Estate (Press); Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen.

As H.E. Ambassador Kadre Desire Ouedrago, President of the Economic Community of West African States, and his entourage make their brilliant presence amongst us today, we cannot help to hold back demonstration of our profound inner joy. Indeed, Your Excellency, we are rather proud to express with yet the quick fleeing of time, your esteemed office has witnessed three cycles of leadership, the third being driven by your coveted and well experienced statesmanship. Epitomizing this, since the visit of H.E Mohamed Ibn Chambas as the then Head of the Commission in 2009, we are pleased to note that you are the other head of that body so paying us yet another historic visit. For this, we whole heartedly salute you!

    The western world hindered Africa’s potential to be an economic superpower. The destruction of African nation states illustrates an ongoing struggle and sheds light to many of the major crisis the continent is encountering. Africa’s economic dependency on the global north is a direct result of the western world’s influence throughout the continent. The lack of great productivity on this continent has victimized millions and led to its stunted economic growth. The west can be held accountable for such issues. African countries have been forced to depend on the west due to their encouragement of neediness through structural adjustment programs (SAPs), national debts and the western political control in African countries. Such factors have caused, less developed countries in African to become economically dependent on the economically developed countries in the global north through modern day colonial rule.…

    Chairperson, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen, colleagues and friends from the media, fellow Ghanaians, Good Evening. It is a pleasure and an honour for me to be here with you this evening. I would like, first, to thank the Institute of Economic Affairs for organizing these encounters. May I acknowledge the respect that the IEA exhibited after the passing of Professor John Evans Atta Millis, our late President by suspending your original schedule. This is a time of great possibility in our country. In fact, the possibilities that lie before us for true and sustained progress are limitless. As the clock draws nearer to our national election, it is crucial for us to depart from the destructive, time-wasting exercise of unfounded personal attacks, petty name-calling, and character assassinations and rather, move our energies toward the debate of real issues, concrete ways in which we can transform these numerous possibilities that exist into viable programmes that can, and will, create A Better Ghana. By establishing these encounters, the IEA is doing just that. It is creating a forum within which we candidates can seriously discuss the issues facing our nation and present the solutions that fall not only within our vision but also within our capability. I welcome this opportunity.While part of the function of a government is absolutely to institute policy and to put forth programmes, what I have discovered is sorely missing in many talks and speeches during this election cycle is the basic link between the citizens of this country and the policies that are being promoted.…
