A New Agenda for Ghana: Building a Nation on Ideas & Vision

Podcast voice interview

A former colony faces frustrations in early nationhood. Corruption is endemic in African politics thanks to a residual colonial mentality. The colonial structures and institutions handed over at independence leads to corruption and inefficiency in government. Although some may argue that coups (military interventions) are a necessary evil in a dictatorial regime, subsequent coups have shown Africa beyond doubt that the best military government is no better than the worst republic/civilian government.

Today Ghana, though 49 years old, is still crawling, thanks to political mismanagement. A New Agenda for Ghana cannot overemphasize that the book is timely. Because Ghanaians need to read it before they go to the polls in 2008. It may appear to condemn the Establishment as per cover but a thorough reading will reveal a strong balance.
