Democracy is a means to development, not an end in itself – NCCE

The Programmes Director of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Imurana Mohammed, has attributed the growing acceptance of vote-buying and electoral inducements in Ghana to the failure of democracy to deliver basic socio-economic needs."People have talked about the disenchantment of our citizens with democracy and to some extent some are calling for us to go back to the bad old days."According to him, Ghana's Constitution recognises that a strong democracy is one that guarantees citizens access to the basic necessities of life.
