Pressure Group, Concerned Voters Movement (CVM) has slammed policy think-tank IMANI Ghana, arguing that its standard measurement on the performance of government is shrewd and cannot hold.
According to the group, matters of serious governance cannot be reduced to holding a live Q & A session on Facebook.
A statement issued by CVM and signed by its Founder and President, Razak Kojo Opoku said the threat to the country’s evolving democracy are the activities of ignorant and arrogant think-tanks and mushroom Civil Society Organisations.
In the possession of BestNewsGH.com, the statement read in part that ‘’ ‘’Since Mahama engaged in Facebook Live Q & A, nothing meaningful has come out of it. No sensible alternative policy has been formulated by Mahama and his COVID-19 Team. It has been the usual jokes of “I will Review’ or I will Consult”. President Akufo-Addo does not need a Facebook Live Q & A to address the concerns of Ghanaians. The concerns of Ghanaians in this period of Coronavirus have been reasonably addressed by President Akufo-Addo.’’
It continued that ‘’Governance is a serious business and involves problem solving, and that is exactly what President Akufo-Addo is delivering to the good people of Ghana. President Akufo-Addo has been busily engaging relevant stakeholders, holding strategic meetings, reaching consensus and having serious discussions at Cabinet, all gearing towards ensuring the safety of the lives of Ghanaians, as well as stabilizing the economy for the collective good Post COVID-19.’’
It added that ‘’Unlike John Mahama who has the luxury of time to log on to his Facebook account professing incoherent views on the issues of Coronavirus pandemic, President Akufo-Addo is doing serious critical thinking and consultation with experts on the best way forward.’’
