Good luck Malawi, as the country goes to the polls in elections that may well deliver another transfer of power.

As many of you know, Malawi is very close to my heart.

Great primer on the elections by Richard Kweitsu here:

No one is trying to fix the problem. Everyone is basically trying to get more money to escape the problem. If the road is bad, you buy a v8 and escape fixing it, if the public education is bad, you get money and enrol your child in private schools #FixTheCountry

A lot of Ghanaians are angry and upset at the way things are going. And rightly so we deserve to be angry. For a country with so much potential, we ought to be doing better than we are doing now. This govt came to power with a promise to write the wrongs of the ....

[Richard Kweitsu @KweitsuR]

Of the previous government yet it has done worse. Our public debt is reaching unsustainable levels and there is no real plan or direction on how we are settling all this debt that keep piling. People don’t have electricity and water. We were promised better. #FixTheCountry

[Richard Kweitsu @KweitsuR]

When the finance minister suffered post CoVid complications he travelled to US to seek medical care. What happens to the ordinary Ghanaian who cannot travel abroad? We need to build a Ghana that works for everyone. That is why it is vital that we #FixTheCountry for our children

What a day to be a Ghanaian. Interesting four years ahead in Ghana. #7thTo8thParliament

@Fromagehomme I still can’t understand why these kind of things keep happening in Uganda every year and nothing changes. So terrible #BobiWine

@Jaypearse @Arsenal @ArsenalWFC I’m a Chelsea fan, but I think arsenal will beat Chelsea this weekend. And then go on a winning run. The team will get better with time

@Citi973 Please delete, he never conceded

[Richard Kweitsu @KweitsuR]

I am really excited about the inclusion of the anti-corruption sub-category in this years #IIAG2020 by @Mo_IbrahimFdn .Sadly, Ghana’s performance on this sub-category has been “increasingly deteriorating”. Our government have to work to reverse this trend

From Lekki to Kampala, frustrated youth are saying they are tired. They need to be listened to before it’s too late.

[Richard Kweitsu @KweitsuR]

In Africa we create Anti-corruption offices to pretend to fight corruption and not actually fight it. That’s the case of Ghana’s special prosecutor who just resigned. #martinamidu #specialprosecutor

[John Dramani Mahama @JDMahama]

His fight for social justice, the principles of probity & accountability led to major interventions that ended coup d'etats in Ghana. He’s the Founder of our 4th Republic, easily the longest period of stable, democratic governance in the history of Ghana.
