"The private sector is said to be the engine of economic growth, but the public sector is the oil for that engine. And when the oil is dirty, the engine cannot work efficiently. This is why we must all be interested in building an effective public sector." Watch former Auditor General of Ghana, Daniel Dormelevo, speak with students #atAshesi about service leadership and being a leader in the public sector. https://ashe.si/3RDHbn5
He has a good point. But it is not even true historically and empirically that the private sector is the engine of growth(even the idea of growth is now seriously contested but let us leave that). The public sector is the real engine and the private sector is the battery at best. In philosophical terms the public sector is the necessary condition for national transformation. It is like oxygen to life.
