Director of Advocacy and Policy Engagement at CDD Ghana, Dr. Kojo Pumpuni Asante, has called on Ghanaians to stay actively involved in government affairs beyond the election period.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show after the Citizens’ Expectations Townhall Meeting, Dr. Asante emphasized the importance of continuous citizen engagement in governance.
“When you give a mandate to a party to rule, once elected, it is no longer about politics because decisions made affect everyone, regardless of party affiliation. Many citizens disengage after elections, waiting for four years, but governance requires continuous vigilance,” he explained.
Dr. Asante urged citizens to stay informed about government actions and ensure leaders deliver on their promises.
He also shared that CDD Ghana plans to present findings to the government to serve as a benchmark for assessing its performance.
The next Citizens’ Expectations Townhall Meeting, which will focus on seniors and pensioners, is scheduled for March 20 at the GNAT Hall in Accra.
“So far, we have conducted ten town hall meetings across the country, and we plan to hold a national meeting soon, where we will present our findings to the government. This will serve as a reference point for evaluating government performance,” he said, encouraging Ghanaians to actively engage in the governance process.
