Prof Steven Kwaku Asare

Rise above being mere bag carriers for your corrupt political godfathers – Azar
US-based Ghanaian Professor of Law and social
commentator, Prof. Stephen Kwaku Aware, who is
popularly known as Prof Kwaku Azar has called on
the youth in Ghana to desist from carrying bags of
their political Godfathers.

According to him, the youth is at the receiving
end when leaders take bad decisions and do not put
the people first in their activities hence the
need not to join them stifle the growth of the
youth in the country.



“The youth suffers the most from public
corruption. They suffer the most from bad schools,
unemployment, low quality healthcare, death-trap
roads, etc,” he said in a post shared on his
Facebook page.

Adding that “They must use their comparative
advantage in technology to expose and push back
against those who engage in corruption.They must
join the political space not to carry the bags of
corrupt leaders and to become like their corrupt
political godfathers. Rather, they must join that
space to rid it of the corrupt practices that
imperil their future”.

The youth suffers the most from public corruption.
They suffer the most from bad schools,
unemployment, low quality healthcare, death-trap
roads, etc.

They must use their comparative advantage in
technology to expose and push back against those
who engage in corruption.



They must join the political space not to carry
the bags of corrupt leaders and to become like
their corrupt political godfathers. Rather, they
must join that space to rid it of the corrupt
practices that imperil their future.

They are full of ideas and aspirations. They must
channel their energy and creativity to the
realization of those ideas and aspirations.



They must not adore unexplained wealth. Nor should
they want to acquire unexplained wealth. They must
question and shun it without wearing political
lenses.

They must not measure their value in terms of how
many houses and cars that they can get in the
shortest possible time. They must measure their
value in terms of whether they are helping to
build an inclusive and equal opportunity society.

They must shun patronage and insist on a
meritocratic society that rewards enterprise and
hard work.

The future belongs to the youth. They can enact
the future that they want by insisting on GOGO.

#SALL is the cardinal sin of the 8th Parliament.
Never in our history has a group of people been so
flagrantly disrespected and denied the right to
representation.

Da Yie!
