‘Change of governments in Ghana mean nothing’ – Tony Aidoo

Dr. Tony Aidoo, who once served as Ghana’s Ambassador to the Netherlands, has said there’s fundamentally nothing significant to show for a change of government in Ghana.

Dr. Aidoo, who was once the Head of Policy Monitoring and Evaluation in the previous NDC regime, expressed disappointment over the lack of selflessness of political leaders in the country.

He said the managers of the country’s economy only promote their selfish interest, breeding vigilante groups among other disgruntled political groups.

“The welfare of the mass population has not mattered much to the political leadership as much as their own parochial welfare and every change of government is nothing but a change of an elite to replace the previous administration’s elite…The gap between the rich and poor continues to widen,” he said.

Dr. Aidoo made the remarks at the national conference of a group calling itself ‘The Progressive Intellectuals on ‘Rethinking Political Leadership in Ghana’.
