Former Supreme Court Justice William Atuguba has spoken out against politicians, claiming that they are to blame for the country’s current challenges.
In order to bring about progress and defend the rights and interests of the ordinary Ghanaians, he urged educated citizens to get up and take action.
On September 1, 2023, he gave an interview to TV3, in which he passionately blasted politicians for continuing to enrich themselves at the expense of average Ghanaians.
“The power belongs to the people, the educated people must help the people to take charge of the country which belongs to them and benefit from it by putting in place real and practical institutions that will bring them benefit in their daily lives, he said.
He warned that the existing form of democracy is being used by a few to gain power and wealth at the expense of others.
“Politicians should not be playing tricks with a system I will call democratic, and it is an instrument for defrauding the people, impoverishing them, and deepening the poison of partisan politics further and further. Our lives now is just for you to situate yourself politically and get what you can get from it. That is becoming our way of life in this country,” he added.
