USAID cuts a wake-up call for African independence – Bernard Mornah

The immediate past flagbearer of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Bernard Mornah, has lauded the President of the United States of America, Donald Trump, for truncating the USAID to African countries.

According to him, although Africans may think it will cause a deficit in their budgets, this initiative is a message to Africans to be truly independent and avoid dependence on Western countries.

He made the statement while addressing the chiefs and people of the Bimoba community in Ghana and Togo at the Danjuar festival in Kpikpira.

Bernard Mornah bemoaned the continued dependency on donors by African countries and called for its immediate end.

“We may be sad that it will impose on us a temporary deficit in our budget, particularly those other people that benefit from USAID, but it is the beginning of telling us Africans that we must become independent and not dependent on some other people.

“We cannot continue to depend on European aid. We cannot continue to depend on American aid. We have resources,” he stated.
