Lawyer Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, also known in political circles as Sir John has hit hard at President John Mahama for telling Ghanaians that they are too pessimistic and not appreciative of government�s efforts at improving their well-being. According to the former General Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Ghanaians deserve better from the Mahama-led administration, cautioning that any act of mediocrity and incompetence of the government will not be treated with kids� gloves. Addressing some Ghanaians in the USA on the sidelines of his recent participation at the 69th UN General Assembly, President Mahama said the current economic conditions in Ghana are far better than the situation in many countries contrary to growing public frustrations. �Unfortunately in Ghana, we don�t count our blessings; you can have a glass and pour some water in it half way, you can describe that glass as half empty or half full; If you describe it as half full you are motivated to put some more water to fill it. If you count it as half empty then you are de-motivating yourself,� President Mahama said.
