Former New Patriotic Party [NPP] Member of Parliament [MP] for Asokwa Constituency, Maxwell Kofi Jumah believes Ghanaians are the cause of the jumble the country is experiencing in recent times.
According to him, despite the Mahama-led government been reckless and disappointing, they are not the cause of the Ghana�s present mess.
He noted that failure of �governance institutions� has been a major issue hunting this nation for years.
�Ghana�s present mess was not caused by only the irresponsible behavior and corruption of the NDC, but also the disappointing failure of our governance institutions,� he said.
Kofi Jumah who has been a consistent critic of the Mahama-led administration questioned why the Electoral Commission [EC] declared the NDC victors in the 2012 presidential election after rigging issues have been raised by other political parties.
�How come our institutions were not able to put brakes on some of these excesses? How come our electoral processes made us chose the present Government?� he quizzed.
To him, all government institutions are nonfunctional and needs proper restructure to help build a better Ghana.
�What role did our Parliament play in this quagmire? What about the independent institutions like Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice [CHRAG], National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Public Services and the Press?� he asked.
Kofi Jumah however questioned Economic and Organised Crime Office [EOCO], Bureau of National Investigations [BNI], Audit Board, Trade Union Congress [TUC] and various professional bodies� role to help the state revamp its bedridden economy hardship.
The former NPP legislator also expressed dismay with the National House of Chiefs� �shameful acceptance of corruptible cars gift from President John Mahama in this hard times�.
�What role did our Chieftaincy and Academic institutions play or not play to get this country to such a disgraceful level. Ghana, we have failed ourselves and black people everywhere. Black Stars indeed,� he posted on Facebook.
