Kwame Owusu Danso (KOD), the Vice-Presidential candidate of the Movement for Change, in an exclusive interview with George-Ramsey Benamba of GNA, after his Caravan Campaign Tour in the Central Region, expressed deep concerns over the state of Ghana's political system, laying a portion of the blame squarely at the feet of the media.
According to him, the duopolistic political system dominated by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has impoverished the nation, and the media, which should act as the gatekeeper of democracy, has become complicit in perpetuating this imbalance. "For the past 32 years, Ghana's political space has been hijacked by two parties," KOD lamented. "Whatever has happened to this country-whether good or bad-is the cumulative effect of what these two parties have done.
We are so blessed in human and natural resources, yet we are still poor.
At the last count, this was the 17th time we've had to go begging at the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to survive.
