According to Daniel Kofi Amoateng, the CEO of Emklan Entertainment and also known as Quophi Okyeame in the entertainment industry, democracy has not aided Ghana’s development.
According to the broadcaster and artist, Ghana needs a kind dictator—”a crazier Rawlings”—to bring about the required changes.
“I think we would need a benevolent dictator. If you break down the words, you will understand the kind of person we are looking for; a crazier Rawlings. Africans don’t move until there is a cane on their back,” Quophi said.
“For how long has democracy been effective in this country? Referendum was in 1992. I voted for democracy. We’ve tried it, I think we have over used it. It’s time we just bundled it up and threw it away because it doesn’t help,” he added.
According to Quophi, succeeding administrations have generally performed poorly because, when in office, they are more concerned with winning elections than serving the needs of the populace.
“There is a reason God gave us Kings and Queens. Every country in this world that has become successful has monarchy. Check. The Great Britain, Dubai, Brunei,” he further stated.
