Saving Ghanaian democracy from destruction

 A democracy that has morphed into a friends-and-family-kleptocracy, in which the judiciary are seen by the vast majority of ordinary people, as being beholden to the government of the appointing authority, and, to add insult to injury, happens to be dominated by super-ruthless big-thieves-in-high-places, is, by definition, an unjust and inequitable society, which sits on a social time bomb, of epic proportions, oooo, Ghanafuo. Yoooooo...


A society like that, is simply beyond redemption, and must undergo revolutionary change, if a ruinious and destructive civil war isn't to break out, in it. To prevent that, perhaps we must look to aspects of our pre-colonial traditional culture's governance structures, in fashioning a new system bedrocked on good governance and social-equity.


That will enable us to finally replace the 4th Republic, with what will be an elected Monarchy, led by a Ghana Omanpanin, who will be elected by a people, in whom sovereignty is reposed, and are declared-royals, elegible to vote in all national and district elections, and, eligible themselves, to stand as candidates, and be voted for, in elections.


The Ghana Omanpanin will appoint a Prime Minister, to form a government, whose members will not be legislators (from Parliament). And, furthermore, all Chief Executives of Metropolitan, Municipal and District Assemblies (MMDAs), will be elected for five-year terms, with no term-limits.


Finally, in the interim, the current government would be wise to rally Parliament, to pass a new law, which makes it mandatory for all senior public officials, and government appointees, to publicly publish their assets (as well as that of their wives/husbands/longterm partners), immediately before the beginning of their tenures, and immediately after their tenures end. If that were done we just might be able to save Ghanaian democracy from destruction.
