A former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, Prof Agyeman Badu Akosa, has stated that Ghana’s multi-party democratic system has failed to serve the interests of the wider population and has instead enriched only the political elite.
Speaking at the University of Education, Winneba (UEW) Public Lecture Series on April 11, Prof Akosa said, “I believe sincerely, and I will say it here today, that multi-party democracy has done nothing for this country.”
Prof Akosa argued that beneath this veneer of democratic progress lies a deeply unequal system in which only a select few benefit.
“Since 1992, the only beneficiaries of the system are the political class. The professional class, the working class, the underclass all have been totally marginalised,” he said.
“It’s as if you live in this country, your sense is not respected,” he added
According to the former Director-General of the Ghana Health Service, such a situation cannot lead to sustainable national development.
Prof Akosa further called for a radical shift in how Ghana utilises its human capital.
“We must be prepared to harvest the intellectual might of this country to progress this country,” he urged.
