A Political Scientist at the University of Ghana says an active and engaging middle-class is critical to the development of every nation therefore; it is dangerous for government to disregard their concerns.<\/p>\n
His comments follow the demonstration staged by a non-partisan middle-class group called Concerned Ghanaians for Responsible Governance on Tuesday against the worsening economic conditions in the country.<\/p>\n
He is therefore advising government to urgently address the concerns of the middle class in the country.<\/p>\n
According to Dr. Evans Aggrey-Darko, Tuesday\u2019s protestors are individuals who qualify occupy political positions and so they are aware that there are measures which could be applied to change the fortunes of the nation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese are people who qualify to be Ministers of State and some of them even can be President. Some of them are self-made men and women, some of them have experiences and expertise in several frontiers\u2026and so they are not people they can easily rubbish,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
He urged government not to dismiss their concerns because \u201cthe fundamental contract is between the government and the people.\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Aggrey-Darko further suggested that the government should take the protest \u201cin good faith.\u201d<\/p>\n
