Why do we always ask the citizen complaining about a problem “So what’s your solution?” instead of asking the people we pay to solve it?

Imagine I hire a security guard. Thieves keep entering my house. I complain and the guard asks me:

“Okay, so what do you suggest we do?” 😭

Boss, YOU are what I suggested. That’s why I hired you.

I can point out what is wrong with my country without having to write a government policy first. Let’s be serious o

Ghanaians don't fight for their rights, they fight for their share.

Keep insulting me because of NPP and NDC. Who do you think is responsible for this? Ghana is 69 years old

The bicycles and chop boxes will certainly help the students, and nobody should begrudge them that.

But this is where our politics has gone wrong.

Instead of fixing the country so that transportation systems can reliably get students to school, and instead of creating an economy where parents can afford school essentials for their children, we have reduced the role of the MP to a "constituency caretaker" handing out relief whenever the opportunity arises.

We have become so accustomed to this model that we celebrate the politician for giving us droplets of honey while rarely asking why the system keeps making everyone poor enough to need the honey in the first place.

The MP gives bicycles because students struggle to get to school.

But why are students struggling to get to school in the first place?

Parents need chop boxes because they cannot afford basic school items.

Why are parents struggling to provide basic necessities for their children?

And this is bigger than Hon. Ablakwa. It's a problem with how we have come to understand political representation.

We elect MPs to make laws, scrutinise government, represent our interests and help shape policies that improve the conditions of our communities.

Yet we have gradually reduced that responsibility to:

“What did my MP give me?”

So an MP can give 100 bicycles today and receive praise, while we fail to ask the much more important question:

Why does the system require an MP to personally provide bicycles for children to get to school?

Relief is necessary when people are struggling. But relief should never become the substitute for reform.

Because if the system remains broken, the MP will keep giving bicycles, chop boxes, scholarships, medical support and other forms of assistance, and the people will keep returning every election cycle with new needs.

That is not development.

We shouldn't only ask our MPs what they are giving us. We should be asking them why the country is structured in a way that leaves so many people unable to afford basic needs in the first place.

The ultimate goal should be to build a country where people don't need political patrons to survive.

Don't just give us the fish. Let's have the conversation about why we cannot afford to buy fish.

@koboateng Maybe because they profit from the lies.

How do you want this country to move forward when your loyalty is first to your party before Ghana?

In a working system 1 problem doesn't keep occuring yearly for over a decade without a solution.

@gemini_dna In a working system...

[Me.tukpeyi @Proud_bibini]

Very soon in Ghana, the rich will be masters over the poor, and the poor will be slaves to the rich.

[Nomoneynohoney @forrealnomoney]

Why would you see your fellow Ghanaian asking for accountability or demanding better from leaders and your brightest idea would be to attack them?
Don’t you think you also deserve better?
That minister or MP, you think he knows you exist?
Won’t you also benefit if Ghana works?

[Me.tukpeyi @Proud_bibini]

@tv3_ghana Interesting 😂 and what are you doing about it?

[Gemini_DNA♊️🇬🇭 @gemini_dna]

In a working system the citizens come first before anything else.
