In the wake of the just transpired #OccupyJulorbiHouse protest, Ghanaian musician Okyeame Kwame joined other Ghanaian celebrities and media personalities who added their voices to the matter.
In a departure from conventional suggestions on how to remedy the conditions that the protest was targeted at, Okyeame Kwame advocated for personal responsibility as the solution to the country’s woes.
According to him, there was no “messiah” in politics and even though state leaders accused of various acts of corruption and economic mismanagement should be held accountable, it fell upon ordinary citizens to take responsibility for their actions in their various lives.
“You Naa you will fix the country. Starting with your health, then mindset, then your family, then your work. If we all start a small light in our little corners, Ghana will become bright. All the names you have mentioned can also light a small flame. However, Ghana cannot be fixed by one man. No messiah in politics,” He wrote on X.
The post did not sit well with many netizens who condemned his reasoning, saying it shifted responsibility from those in power to ordinary Ghanaians who continue to bear the brunt of bad decisions.
