The problem isn’t unanswered calls but weak institutions — Prof. Asare
- Professor Kwaku Asare urges Ghana to build stronger public institutions to guarantee equal access to opportunities, reducing citizens' reliance on personal political connections.
- His comments follow Justice William Atuguba's criticism of politicians becoming inaccessible post-election, which Asare attributes to a deeper structural weakness in governance.
- Asare argues that many aspects of public life, including jobs, contracts, admissions, and promotions, are currently dependent on personal influence, fostering cronyism and nepotism.
- He maintains that it's unrealistic for politicians to maintain personal relationships with all supporters and instead advocates for transparent, merit-based institutional systems.
- Asare calls for a return to governance anchored on transparent criteria, competitive processes, published outcomes, and auditable decisions, where institutions, not politicians, serve citizens impartially.

- The conflict has seen an increase in casualties, with the US death toll rising to 16.
