Citizens want their problems solved,  stop telling us the problems- Maame Awinador to politicians Story: Prosper Kwaku Selassy Agbitor An International Trade Consultant and a Global Politics Enthusiast, Maame Awinador-Kanyirige has lashed out at Ghanaian politicians for trivializing and neglecting the problems of the country.

This, according to her demonstrates how uncommitted the Ghanaian politician has been to find lasting ways to mitigate the challenges and plights of the Ghanaian populace. Maame Awinador-Kanyirige who was speaking at a Center for Democratic Development's organized program themed"Navigating The Unique Composition of the 8th Parliament", bemoaned the abject disregard of Ghanaian politicians for the plight of the suffering Ghanaians.

She said the current composition of parliament, though the first of its kind should have offered a great opportunity for real a better Parliamentary system and not passing everything from the executive. She said the current parliament should warrant scrutiny of bills from the executive before passing with the ordinary Ghanaian's needs in focus. She thought the 8th parliament regarded as a hung parliament would at least get a better deal for the country by setting on the path of development adding, "but almost two years, what has been witnessed is nothing but business as usual".

According to Maame Awinador who was almost in tears expressing her worry about the fleet of cars that Ghanaian politicians parade at the expense of the challenges of the very communities that voted for them to get solve their problems solved. The International Trade Consultant stated that there was an urgent need for democracy to be viewed from a philosophical point. "If you are portraying the country as a third-world country and imagine you're funded to get a problem solved, yet that same thing is not fixed and money could not be accounted for, is that not an act of a high leveled dishonesty?", She quizzed. "In parliament, the views of the minority have always been that of the masses but is that the case now?", she questioned.

She added that the power of Parliament is supposed to be that of the people but most of the views of the Ghanaian Parliament, do not reflect the views of the masses. Are all bills passed by them reflect the views of the masses? This means they are playing with the system but do not understand", she noted.

She recommended that politicians should get a better understanding of the system through the educational system for conscious deliberation on policies at all levels and institutionalizing the same in the school curriculum. She maintained that nobody seems to care about anything unless they understand what it is. In conclusion, she advised that a proper and serious database ought to be kept and utilized consciously to develop the country.
