Ghana’s Democracy should have kept some Revolutionary Mechanisms to Instil Discipline- Anyidoho

The Acting General secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress Party, Koku Anyidoho has stated that Ghana has over embraced democracy which according to him has heightened the level of indiscipline in the country.
He is therefore of the view that some mechanisms that were used to instill discipline in the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council and Provisional National Defense Council eras should have been maintained after Ghana took the path of democracy in 1992.
Expressing worry at how Ghanaians dispose solid and liquid waste indiscriminately without any sanctions, Koku Anyidoho called for toughness to deal with such irresponsible acts in the country.
Speaking to Kwame Tutu breakfast show host of Rainbow Radio 87.5fm on the achievements and failures of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) on the 23rd anniversary of the party, the tough talking chief scribe said the NDC failed for not carrying with it the control measures to correct society during the revolutionary era.
He said Ghana’s democracy has been allowed to fly on what he described as ‘strange wings’ making the Ghanaian lost his sense of civility and responsibility.
Mr Anyidoho noted the Ghanaian now prefers to do the wrong things under the cover of democracy. He stated that media pluralism which has seen the establishment of hundreds of radio and television stations, as well as the closing of huge infrastructure gap are some but few of NDC’S achievements in 23years.
