Ghana requires responsive governance and not necessarily good governance in order to achieve its development objectives, Presidential candidate of the Convention People’s Party Ivor Greenstreet has said.
According to him, the premium placed on the need for good governance as a requirement for the country’s development is far fetched.
Speaking to Bola Ray on Starr Chat Wednesday, the former general secretary of the CPP said it is time for a change in leadership and the direction of the country.
“What we think is more relevant is responsive governance, the word good governance is often the requirement of development partners and they are probably used to please them; a responsive governance is one that reacts to the needs of the people,” he said.
Ivor obtained a massive 1,288 votes of the 1,992 valid votes to beat his former chairperson, Samia Nkrumah who came a distant second with 579 votes in the Saturday polls of the Nkrumahist party. The others were Joseph Agyapong – 83 and Bright Akwetey 42 votes.
