Anytime I travel, I meet a Ghanaian who is unhappy about the system - Trigmatic

Ghanaian musician Trigmatic has attributed the challenges Ghana is currently facing to issues of leadership.

He said this in an interview on TV3 where shared his thoughts on the state of leadership and accountability in Ghana, which inspired his latest song, “Diplomatic Thief”.

Trigmatic expressed his concerns about the lack of true leadership in Ghana, stating that merely holding a position does not equate to being a leader.

He emphasised that many individuals in positions of power fail to take responsibility for their actions, leading to widespread dissatisfaction among citizens.

“When a person is given a position, it does not mean they are leading. Not all persons in positions are leaders. So I believe that the problem we have is a leadership problem. We lack accountability. Leaders don't even want to be accountable for anything. Things are not going right as they should.

“However, everything you say or do will be politicised. Many people are afraid, so they tend rather not to talk or leave the country,” he stated.

Trigmatic also highlighted the seriousness of the situation, noting that he has consistently encountered fellow Ghanaians who are unhappy with the system.

“And this has been a cycle that's been happening over and over. Anytime I travel, I meet a Ghanaian who is unhappy about the system. And then my question is, so when or how will it change? The only thing I can do is through my music… and so I put it in there,” he said.
