  "account": "Ghana's economy has remained stagnant in macroeconomic stability since 1992, according to Professor Godfred Bokpin, an economist and finance professor. Despite numerous attempts to bolster confidence and foster growth, the nation has experienced a pattern of instability and costly recovery efforts for the past three decades. Each time government attempts to stabilize the economy, it soon returns to a period of difficulty. The costs associated with restoring stability have become so high and unbearable that it casts doubt on the country's tax capacity to handle further expenses. At a public lecture, Prof. Bokpin stated that fiscal consolidation alone is no longer sufficient to restore stability and that Ghana needs to transition towards sustainable economic development. His lecture, titled \"The Resetting Agenda for Sustainable Development in Ghana: The Civil Service's Responsibilities,\" focused on the duties of the civil service in addressing this challenge.",
  "summary": "Professor Godfred Bokpin of the University of Ghana has said Ghana’s economy has struggled to move beyond macroeconomic stability since 1992, despite repeated efforts to restore confidence and sustain economic growth.",
