Mr Frank Aboagye Danyansah, the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Danywise Estate and Construction Limited, has attacked the competence of political leaders in Africa who have failed to tackle corruption and to create good living conditions for the people.<\/p>\n
He also accused some of the leaders of the Region for nurturing ethnic politics and allowing few wealthy and educated individuals to monopolise the political system.<\/p>\n
Mr Danyansah who was speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Accra on African Union Day, which was observed as a statutory public holiday on Thursday, May 25, asked such leaders to \u201cwake up from their slumber\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said managers of African economies have failed to introduce robust policies and programmes that would open education opportunities for the vast majority of illiterates wallowing in severe poverty<\/p>\n
\u201cFailure of leadership in Africa is the cause of our problems, leaders engage in corruption because they do not have any agenda for their constituencies or countries,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
He described elections in certain countries as \u201ca show of ethnic strength\u201d \u2013 which ethnic group is mightier than the other, who comes from which region, and that determines who becomes president of the day.\u201d<\/p>\n
The CEO noted that some leaders at many times misled the people and made them believe that \u201ceverything is going on well\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the fact is that our economies are only growing on paper, the living conditions of many of our fellow citizens are deplorable, job opportunities are not expanding, laws are not being enforced, and private sector businesses are being killed, largely due to bad policies.<\/p>\n
\u201cLeaders should have the ability to identify experts in various fields and make use of their professionalism and knack to drive the continent\u2019s agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mr Danyansah claimed that in Ghana it was all about political parties with numbers and not great ideas. \u201cPeople just vote on party lines and not competency. Very sad indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
He observed that political parties were vehicles to push the common agenda of the people in areas of education, health, infrastructure, agriculture\u2026 \u201cBut most African countries do not do well in those sectors\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201c is the solution, in a country where 65 per cent of the people are illiterates it is a tall hurdle to jump over.\u201d
He called for an end to the \u201cwinner takes all syndrome\u201d in the political systems in the continent which he said \u201chas stagnated Africa\u2019s growth\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
