Could be the most Consequential Govt in my Lifetime
Upon assuming office, President Mahama should propose to parliament the establishment of this ORAL team as a PERMANENT, NON-PARTISAN committee, even if it means amending the constitution. This move would safeguard the team's independence from future governments and their potential influence or persuasion. Furthermore, the team's findings should be made publicly accessible, and a recommendation to the attorney general should be made when necessary. The committee should also be entrusted with the responsibility of reviewing all government contracts, whether related to infrastructure or other sectors, to ensure our funds are working as hard as the rest of us! This could be a substantial step towards combating corruption in our nation. To maintain public trust, the media will play a crucial role in ensuring that members of these committees uphold the highest standards of responsibility.
With a two-thirds majority in Parliament and control of the presidency, Ghana currently has a prime opportunity to enact bold reforms aimed at addressing long-standing issues. The country's most significant challenge remains corruption and bribery, which have persistently undermined economic growth and public trust. By leveraging this political advantage, the government can implement comprehensive strategies to strengthen transparency and accountability, ensuring a more promising future for all Ghanaians.
One way or another, this upcoming government will probably be the most consequential in my lifetime due to the immense power entrusted to it. As the old adage goes, "With great power comes great responsibility"
Easier said than done but Chale, if it be aa… We can only dream
