Our problem is that our political culture and practice excludes ordinary Ghanaians from decision-making. Consequently, the nation is denied the benefit of its most valuable resource - energy, talent and vision of the Ghanaian people. The first response to the challenge of the 21 st Century must therefore be a political response. We must start with changing our political practice and the culture that underlies it. We must restructure the relationship between ordinary development policy and administration at all levels.
Democracy is the essential strategy for achieving national mobilisation.
Therefore deepening our democratic culture must be a priority for the movement. It is important to bring government closer to the people. Constitutional provisions on local government are good. The movement must campaign for greater political commitment on the part of national leadership. We must also press for better civic education.
