No one person has the solution to Ghana’s problem – Prof Opoku Agyemang
The Vice-Presidential candidate for the National Democratic Congress, Prof Naana Jane Opoku Agyemang, has expressed concern over the lack of proper dialogue in addressing the country’s problems.
Speaking in an interview with Daniel Oduro on GhanaWeb TV’s Election Desk, Prof Opoku Agyemang highlighted the crucial role of dialogue in politics, saying it will help leaders and stakeholders to identify and provide solutions to tackle pressing issues.
“…Whatever is working let’s keep it, what is not working and it’s plenty of them, we all know. If it’s about food inflation we all know, if it’s about our currency that is not stable, we all know, if it’s about our roads that are not fixed, if it’s about the challenges in our health system, whether it’s challenges in our educational system, we know them let us list them and let us dialogue. When we refuse to talk about something, simply by refusing to talk about something, that thing doesn’t go away,” she said.
The former Minister for Education believes that no single individual possesses the ultimate solution to the country’s problems, hence the need for collaboration between stakeholders, political leaders and civil society organisations to collectively contribute their expertise towards combating the challenges.
“The problems are not simmering anymore, they’ve come out, they are bubbling so let us link minds. I don’t think any one person however endowed will have all the solutions to our problems. We have to dialogue…
“Parties, non-parties, everybody. If you go to TUC, are you going to a party? No. If you go to the teacher unions, you are not going to a party. Maybe the teacher unions themselves will not be in power to implement but you must hear them out because they are the ones managing the system so you must talk to them,” she urged.
