4 reasons Why Ghana Will Continue To Have Terrible Politicians

Listen to this article Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Ghanaians complain a lot about how bad our politicians are but rarely do you see Ghanaians questioning we keep producing people we are only going to hate in power. 

In Ghana, politicians are the common person’s least favourite people yet we cannot cut ourselves from these bunch and rarely do we ask ourselves why we produce so many bad people who get to have power. 

It is almost as if we think that when people have power, somehow, they should be better human beings than us. We do not look at the conditions that produced the person. 

Civic morality or the do’s and dont’s of citizenship in democracy requires that we should be interested in what sort of human beings we are training from home. But we do not care. 

Here are some concrete reasons why Ghanaians seem likely to continue to produce an overwhelming number of bad politicians. 

1. Poor democratic culture 

We still do not understand that democracy is more than elections and law courts. 

We are failing to learn that democracy requires a set of attitudes and beliefs. 

We push into power, people who make us hate the other side more when they themselves have no clear vision or purpose for wanting power.
