Transforming Ghana: A Call for Mindset Change and Civic Responsibility
Eamn continues on the Fix the country and make Ghana work on Ghana’s most authoritative patriotic program “The Hot Seat” where he delivered a compelling message that resonates deeply with the challenges faced by Ghana today. With candid insight, Eamn addressed some of the most pressing issues, urging Ghanaians to take ownership of their country’s destiny.
Eamn’s call for citizens to refrain from engaging in bribery and extra payments to civil servants strikes at the heart of corruption. He contends that if Ghanaians collectively refuse to partake in such practices, it will lead to a paradigm shift, wherein providers will no longer feel emboldened to demand bribes, thereby curbing corruption at its roots.
Moreover, Eamn emphasized the need to shift away from the tendency to blame political leaders, highlighting that true enforcers of the law lie within the citizenry itself. This rallying cry underscores the power and responsibility that each Ghanaian holds in shaping the nation’s trajectory.
To Eamn, fixing Ghana isn’t confined to policy changes alone, but requires a profound transformation in mentality and mindset. This imperative calls for a reevaluation of how individuals perceive their roles in society, and a collective commitment to foster positive change.
One of the most thought-provoking aspects of Eamn’s discourse pertains to the reluctance of Ghanaians to criticize politicians, often due to their party affiliations. This loyalty, Eamn posited, inhibits constructive dialogue and accountability within the political realm. It’s a stark reminder that in the pursuit of progress, we must transcend party lines and hold our leaders to a higher standard.
Eamn’s observations on the impact of demonstrations organized by Vormewor shed light on the complexity of activism in the modern age. While such actions may serve as a platform for expression, Eamn cautions that they might not be the most effective means of catalyzing lasting change. In fact, he warns that these protests could potentially deter foreign investment, which could have far-reaching consequences for the nation’s future.
The critique extended to the political arena, with Eamn admonishing the NPP for a perceived overreliance on blaming the NDC for shortcomings. This culture of blame, he argues, does a disservice to the nation. Instead, he advocates for a shift towards a more proactive and solution-oriented approach.
Eamn’s assessment of Finance Minister Hon Ken Atta as a failure in steering the economy invites us to scrutinize existing economic policies and seek avenues for improvement. It underscores the importance of adaptable and innovative economic strategies for sustainable growth.

Lastly, Eamn acknowledges external influences on Ghana’s internal affairs, particularly from Western nations. He contends that navigating these external pressures necessitates a collective shift in mindset and approach, not just from leaders, but from every citizen.
Eamn’s message is clear: the path to a better Ghana lies within the hearts and minds of its people. It is a call for unity, civic responsibility, and a collective commitment to change. Through a shift in mentality and mindset, Ghana has the potential to rise above its challenges, outsmart external influences, and shape a brighter future for generations to come.
