Why the Health of the President Could Affect Investment Decisions

Golden Jubilee House, Accra, Ghana is the seat of the Ghanaian government

Accra, Ghana, June 18, 2018//-The manner in which some Ghanaians play politics with the health of the presidents must stop if the country is going to progress.

 I even want to humbly suggest that, this kind of behaviour be criminalized.

This kind of needless arguments showed its ugly head in our body politics during the time of late Professor John Evans Atta Mills I believed prior to the demise of our late president, many healthy ones even passed away before him.Many died before Prof Atta Mills, the late. Many are still dying after him. No one comes to stay forever.

What gingered me to write this article is when it has pooped up in our social media that, a political figure alleged of saying, if they sack a corrupt official from his post, he will mention three people in the Jubilee House who might have involved in killing the late  former president Atta Mills.

Such a person must not be listened to,because they are political nuisance in this country. When Ghanaians are battling with bread and butter issues, and as a political leader, entrusted with hopes and aspirations of people will make comments of this sort which cannot be substantiated.

If, as a citizen of this country, you know the people who killed a sitting president, and you kept mute over it all this while, you are as good as those involved in killing the president. Such comments should be condemned and even treated as treasonable.

The security of this country should not sit on the fence when comments of this nature come out. I think such a person be harboured in a security custody to provide information to the security who next will die in this country as and when.

When we need votes, we go to the very poor people, begging for their mandates. When the mandate is given to us, we only go in to fool about forgetting the very poor people who put us there.

The security of this country be put on red alert when such comments are made. God is the only permanent determinant of  what happens to us next, and therefore, the health of your friends be the concern of all but should not be subjected to public ridicule instead.Our health matters are  in the hands of our good Lord, Jehovah God.

Many are in the hospitals on the verge of dying but, God still sustains them. When you are alive today and kicking, it is the work of God. I think this is something purely we must accept, that God is the giver and taker of life.

It is not the case that, the moment one becomes a president , then he or she is more prone to death. It is not natural. Just as any ordinary person can be killed, the president too can be killed.

All securities we provide for our presidents are artificially organized. But God’s favour is upon everyone equally, be it the president or any other ordinary person like you and me.

As a student, I have observed with keen interest that, the health of our president is a serious non-economic factor that can determine the acceptance of certain classes of investment.

The health of our president can deter even foreign investment into this country. It can affect the choice of the type of investment we make as individuals, institutions and even as a government.

The returns on our investments are also affected when prospective investors know that, in the next two or three months, the president’s health will be in a serious jeopardy.

Advise

The President is also a human being like any other person. For the fact that the destiny of this country is entrusted into his hands, does not make him more prone to natural death. If you and I do not attempt to kill the president, he or she is safe,  except naturally, God determines otherwise.

The health of a president of a country is a serious non-economic factor that determine the performance of the portfolio of investments we engage in both domestically and internationally.

Foreign investors’ morale is greatly affected if unnecessary noise is made about the health of our president. The health of the sitting or former president should not be painted bleak, because it has a fundamental influence on the investment in a country or in a particular institution.

No individual is equal to God. No one can tell with certainty when he or she will die, not even the late professor Kofi Awoonor. Let us pray for each other and be each other’s keeper.
