Former Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors, Senyo Hosi, is not enthused about the country\u2019s 30-year-old governance structure.<\/p>\n
He contends that the current presidential and parliamentary system being practised with its change in the governments has not yielded real results; a situation which is indicative that the time for reforms is ripe.<\/p>\n
Senyo Hosi who has been vocal in criticising successive government programs and policies was speaking on Citi TV<\/strong>\u2018s Face to Face<\/strong> show.<\/p>\n There, he made the point, that the citizenry has not benefitted well enough.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t think we have a governance system that optimizes the aspirations of Ghanaians. Our current structure where we have a winner takes all system is not sustainable.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI propose a new form of democracy where the loser also wins something. That will mean inclusive governance than an adversary politicking environment. We are a developing country, so rushing for everyone to crash doesn\u2019t help anybody. The cedi\u2019s recent fall is not benefitting those in NPP or NDC.\u201d<\/p>\n This development, according to him, is a major source of concern that needs urgent national attention.<\/p>\n \u201cThe country must thrive. I don\u2019t think our kind of governance really works. What it does is to breed more corruption and for a developing country with a very small purse, it eliminates your ability to achieve sustainable socio-economic development\u201d, he explained.<\/p>\n But what, in Senyo Hosi\u2019s view, needs to be done?<\/p>\n \u201cWe should have an institutional-driven democracy. One that has more or four professionals at the helm of affairs and also having the politicians partly in it and I think we will have a more sustainable operation than what we have.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cBut when a party wins and all the CEOs of SOEs are taken out, we will have problems. So the constitution really has to be reworked. It is not a matter of debate. What we have to do now is to find a way to diffuse the power and not have it so much concentrated in one man called the President\u201d, Mr. Hosi suggested.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Former Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors, Senyo Hosi, is not enthused about the country\u2019s 30-year-old governance structure.
