The Director-General of the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) Stephen Asamoah Boateng has expressed worry about the current direction of Ghanaian politics. He said currently, politics in the country has become full of intense divisions and unnecessary fights.
Mr. Asamoah Boateng explained that for Ghana to develop, there should be deliberate steps to listen to all sides, build consensus and work in harmony to address the many concerns facing the country. He opined that until such a time comes, Ghana’s development may continue to suffer.
He said these while speaking to Samuel Mbura on A1 Radio’s Day Break Upper East Show today Wednesday, December 8, 2021. “In my native place, if we cannot agree on a meeting, they say go ad sleep and the pillow will give you sense the following morning. That is the way to go, rather than fights and divisions. Unfortunately, that is how Ghanaian politics has become. It is fighting and division.” he explained.
“You have to be patient. You have to give the people time to think. You do not have to force the issue on them. If we want to country properly, we must listen to people. You do not have to force issues. You do not have to force candidates on people,” he added.
