Senyo Hosi, the former Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Ghana Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD), has urged the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to undergo serious soul-searching and eliminate “wontumistic” behaviors within its ranks.
Speaking on TV3, Hosi expressed frustration over the government’s priorities and the stark contrast between leadership actions and the needs of ordinary Ghanaians.
“You and I know who it was. Advice that in the development conversation, don’t rule anything out, but everything has to be properly done. And the good of your people must always ride supreme,” Hosi stated, stressing the importance of focusing on what truly benefits the people.
He emphasized that while political leaders in Accra are preoccupied with lavish spending such as business-class flights, V8 vehicles, and large convoys the majority of the population, especially in rural areas, continues to suffer from basic needs like clean water and adequate infrastructure.
“I see poverty, I see the water people drink, and I travel around the country. I cried. All my children, they were in shock. Sitting in Accra, I think Accra is Ghana. Accra is not Ghana.”
He described the stark difference between the capital and the rural areas, where the majority of Ghanaians live without basic services.
He also criticized the government’s handling of certain issues, including the focus on luxury spending rather than investing in essential sectors such as agriculture.
“The things about Galamsey are painful.
Destroy water bodies, destroy livelihoods… only because a select few are going to make some money. In the long term, it’s nonsensical.”
He urged the government to adopt a more modest and humble approach, as previously advocated by President Akufo-Addo.
“There should be a level of humility, a level of modesty,” he stated.
