  Mr Asante western democracy is just not good for Africa.It calls for the existence of political parties to let it work but in Africa it is rather the opposite.Western democracy based n the party system has promoted tribalism,divisiveness,hatred and even at times wars in africa.Because of western democracy politics in africa has turned into'TRIBALITICS'.We better throw away western democracy and evolve a political system best suited for our multi-tribal societies.Western democracy is just a poison chalice for Africa.

  You say in part: "...we have to be vigilant, speak and act to maintain democracy. Much of what is wrong with our democracy is due to lack of concern and involvement by fellow countrymen. The people should endeavour to be passionately involved in the democratic process..."
  
  WE SAY: Good point.
  
  Case in point --- The Fair-Trade Oil Share Ghana (FTOS-Gh) campaign still needs more Ghanaians and Ghana supporters to be involved. When a country like Ghana has lost over $6 billion in unfair oil contracts, we would have expected a lot more people to be up in arms.....
  
  That, we submit, is a classic case!
