We welcome 2022 in grand style

All too soon, the year 2021 has ended and we are now in a new year 2022. We need to reflect on what happened in the previous year while ushering ourselves into the New Year which has just begun. Many things happened in 2021. Some of them were pleasant and interesting, but others were bitter and unpleasant.

In the previous year, the nation encountered a number of motor accidents as well as serious injuries and deaths. These things made us sad.

At the same time, we experienced pleasant news such as growth in our businesses, avoidance of death from COVID-19 and also completion of our projects. Some of us might have also bought new vehicles.

Despite all this, life still continues and we have to be grateful to the Almighty God who has preserved us to this day. It is not everyone who is alive today to begin the New Year, but in spite of all this, we are grateful to our Creator.

It is worthy of note that our beloved country has peace and stability. The government is performing, having initiated and implemented a number of development programmes in the interest of the people. It is our hope that all development programmes found in all sectors of the economy will be completed soon, so that Ghana as a whole will be the beneficiary.

As Ghanaians, we must count our blessings one by one and note that as a country we have what it takes to transform the lives of our people, if we resolve with one another to live in peace and strive for our developmental goals.

There is still a long way to go, but we believe that no matter the obstacles we face, we can make this country a better place for the present and future generations.

Developments in various sectors of the economy such as Planting for Food and Jobs, Free Senior High and Vocational Education, the Digitilisation programme of government, the distribution of drugs by drones, among others, all go to show that the country is doing well provided we put our heads together to effectively implement these programmes.

But we need to support our government to provide adequate security, so that everyone in the country will enjoy the peace and happiness we are all seeking.

The Spectator wishes all Ghanaians and other residents in the country a Happy and Prosperous New Year.
