A Political Scientist Dr Richard Amoako Baah has said that the way and manner Ghana’s political system has been structured makes it difficult for the country to get the right person to lead it.
He says it is a system that only makes it possible for the rich who may not even have ideas of how to govern, to participate in.
For him, Ghana needs a person who has a working idea of what he is doing to develop the country.
Speaking on the Ghana Tonight show on TV3 Thursday, July 27 while contributing to a discussion on the political system in Ghana, the stalwart of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) said “Our whole political setup is not set up for the right person, it s set up for a beauty contest and in that beauty contest, only rich people participate in it. If presidential aspirants don’t have the means, don’t bother.
“That is why we find it difficult to find the right person. We need to have a jack of all trades, not just one who looks good or speaks well and makes promises.
“We need someone who knows what he wants to do, it doesn’t mean he knows everything but he has a working idea of everything he is doing. We don’t have such people running for president.”
