Despite Ghana’s abundance of natural riches, actor Kwaku Manu expressed his dissatisfaction with the government’s failure to improve individuals’ lives.
He underlined that the nation’s resources, which include oil, gold, and diamonds, among others, had to be sufficient to enable the government to efficiently oversee and grow the economy for the good of its people.
The actor expressed worry over the high unemployment rate, pointing out that many recent grads are out of work and finding it difficult to make ends meet.
Kwaku Manu also highlighted the detrimental effects on the lives of some government employees by criticizing the low pay received by some of them.

Kwaku Manu’s comments were influenced by the terrible situation of the Ghanaian economy as well.
