Politics Should Not Be Left To Politicians

The woeful story of Ghana that gets frightening each passing day, depicts a nation in a never ending cycle of failure, is the intentional handiwork of politicians spanning decades, who have chosen to go down the destructive political path of overzealous political rivalry , excessive partisanship, unreasonable political patronage, marginalization,indiscipline, lawlessness, greed, self-aggrandizement, deceptive campaign promises, cheap illogical talk, consistent inconsistency, immorality, pit level devaluation, base level mediocrity, rationalizing failure, tribal divisions, wanton dissipation and conspiratorial looting of national resources, and compromising sacred state institutions.

Our "JOKER POLITICAL CLASS" who have made us the laughing stock of the world, preside over a wealth of globally valuable natural resources and human capital, yet have failed to leverage all that to create a winning situation for a people whose national anthem requires of them to build a great and strong nation.

Politics is not a job. Politics is community service. Politics is a passion to improve the quality of life of a people, ultimately raising their living standards. Anyone who wants to make money out of a career in politics is in the wrong profession.The success of a politician is dependent on the poor guy on the street, his or her ability to lift that person to a better self sustaining situation.

Politics and politicians must adhere to the highest moral and ethical standards and values to give the call to fight nation wrecking corruption the legitimacy and seriousness it requires. If the trust of the citizenry is undermined, the citizenry will question the validity and motive of any goals the leadership states. This will frustrate the special influence the leadership has over the citizenry necessary to move it towards goals of beneficial permanence, that meet their real needs and aspirations.

If the citizenry is to demonstrate patriotism and strong nationalism, the political leadership which shapes the national character, must set the best example to give it a moral leverage to drive down the message forcefully.

There is an urgent need to restore credibility of government as it globally known. We need to restore financial integrity of leadership in the nation's political world. It is a must that we restore our national inheritance for the benefit of the whole. Simply put, the restoration of leadership by example.

Wake up Ghana!
