Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Former President John Dramani Mahama will on November 23 speak at the Young African Leaders Summit to empower youth on the continent.

The Summit which is a gathering of young people across the continent, aimed at collating ideas from Africa’s finest youth figures that will be aggregated into relevant themes for shaping policies on the continent will see the ex-president serve as an inspiration to participants.

The summit will also be a platform for cross-country idea-sharing and assimilation and an opportunity to bridge identity gap that is often perceived to exist within the youthful population of Africa.

Also present at the summit will be special representatives from international agencies including government officials from both local and foreign countries as well as some members of the Diplomatic Corps.

The event which is scheduled to take place in Ghana at the Accra Digital Centre will engage participants in cultural exchange, networking, panel discussions on leadership, entrepreneurship, Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), creative arts, digital innovation, focused group sessions, working in teams, complex and time-pressured contexts.

The idea is to create a platform where participants would converge to discuss and formulate solutions to some of Africa’s pressing and emerging problems.

The event which is organized by the Young Politicians and Leaders (YPL) Network, promises to be educative and engaging as well as present an opportunity for the voices of the youth to be heard.

In an interview, Mr. Patrick Fynn, Programmes Director and Convenor, he said the Young Politicians and Leaders Network is managed by a team of experienced, vibrant, dynamic, and committed young professionals and leaders is a global movement of young change agents dedicated to training its cohort to take up leadership roles to influence the future of Africa and the world in general.

He was quick to add that the organization is “not a political organization and it is not affiliated to any political party and we do not project any political parties’ agenda or align with any political party.”

He said: “We are a registered company in the UK and Ghana and operate as a non-governmental and non-profit organization. We have a goal of nurturing, providing mentorship and strategic leadership training to aspiring young leaders in areas of politics and diplomacy, student leaders, social movement activists, aspiring young entrepreneurs or young entrepreneurs, empowering women and facilitating the holistic development or progression of the youths or next generation of leaders at all levels. Young Politicians & Leaders Network plays a crucial role in the economy of Africa.”

Speakers for this summit include Chief Moomen, (Playwright & Creative Playwright), Prince Kojo Hilton (Arts Director), Arnold Asamoah Baidoo (Journalist), Naa Ashorkor (Actor), and Cynthia Quarcoo (Corporate Lawyer).

Others are Santokh Singh (Multimedia Group Managing Director), Emmanuel Addo (YPLN), Peter Kodjie (AASU Secretary General), Isaac Sesi (Engineer), Ameyaw Debrah (Blogger) and Ernestina Appiah (Ghana Code Club).

Members of the Coalition of former Metropolitan, Municipal, District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) have kicked against the 17 December 2019 referendum that seeks to make district assembly elections partisan. According to the coalition, a ‘Yes’ vote is “a vote in absolute darkness.” The former local government practitioners, in a statement, noted that the referendum is being carried out in an undemocratic way by not providing voters with enough and accurate information. “The information being churned out by the government connotes election of MMDCEs when, in fact, the referendum seeks to amend Article 55(3) which bars partisan participation in district assembly elections. If it is about the election of MMDCEs, a referendum is not required at all. Parliament can amend Article 243 (1). The misinformation and political arm-twisting on the subject of the referendum have made Ghanaians confuse the issues which need to be clarified,” the statement said. The group explained that amending Article 55(3) gives more power and influence to the politician rather than the citizens in the community. “Have the politicians accounted positively for the power and influence given to them at the national level? How has the MPs’ influence and power benefited the constituents? Is the cake not shared on party lines? What is the development situation in the orphan constituencies?” they quizzed. The coalition noted that development at the local assemblies has no political colours, hence development projects are not normally abandoned but voting for implementing officers along partisan lines will, invariably, result in development on parochial partisan lines at the local level and possibly halt development projects started by a particular administration to the disadvantage of the local communities. The former MMDCEs argued that enforcement of “assembly by-laws will also be very difficult since party loyalists may or may not comply with orders under the disguise of party membership. Also, revenue generation will face a lot of challenges such as non-payment, refusal and consideration on party lines among others leading to a fall in internal revenue generation which impedes local development,” if district assembly elections become partisan. The group is, therefore, urging Ghanaians to vote ‘NO’ on 17 December. “NO vote cannot deprive election of MMDCEs; it will enforce the vision of the framers of our constitution not to make local governance partisan in order to enhance development and societal cohesion,” the statement stressed.
