The Chief Executive Officer of CTL Africa, Mr Samuel K. Ayim said at the launch that the time has come for the citizenry to take a second look at the country’s leadership qualities.
According to him, the recent chaotic economic situation, coupled with the collapse of seven banks calls for a paradigm shift in the leadership qualities in order to enable society hold people accountable.
He indicated that, leadership is not about occupying positions and enjoying its huge fringe benefits. Rather it is about adding value to the lives of the people and society.
“If we cannot show that we are improving the lives of the people we are leading, then we have no business accepting or contesting for leadership positions,” he added.
Mr Ayim said the heap of filth that has engulfed Accra and other cities, illegal mining known as “galamsey” and dehumanising scenes in the hospitals called for a collective effort to hold leaders accountable for their actions and inactions.
“How can we explain the issues of the so called men of God who give lotto numbers and magically conjure cash, while thousands of unsuspecting congregants in desperation and ignorance, flock to these churches seeking salvation.”
He added, “Intellectually these values cannot transform the country.”
He said the country needed transformational leaders, who are honest, self-disciplined, hardworking generous and ready to sacrifice for the well-being of others.
