The Executive Director of the Institute of Democratic Governance (IDEG), Dr. Emmanuel Akwettey has advised political parties in the country to groom their members for leadership positions when they are voted to govern the country.

This he said will ensure appointees are prepared for their positions and prevent Ministers of State from abandoning their official duties to go to school.

His suggestion comes on the back of a statement made by the Moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church of Ghana, Most Reverend Professor Emmanuel Martey that the practice where political appointees leave their post to go to school is negatively affecting the running of the affairs of the nation.

Speaking on\u00a0Eyewitness News<\/b>\u00a0on Monday, Dr. Akwettey mentioned that the fundamental question raised by the Presby Moderator is \u201cdo the parties train enough leaders into Ministerial positions?\u201d

He observed that if there are \u201ccapacity gaps\u201d for persons penned down for political appointments, the political party must devise ways to bridge the gap.

The IDEG boss therefore recommended different levels of training and orientation for party members \u201cin such a way that it does not interfere with their work.\u00a0

Citing the United Kingdom (UK) system, Dr. Akwettey said political parties in the UK produces, grooms and educates its leaders.

He also suggested that \u201cif Parliament at any time feel most of the experienced hands are gone, been voted out or retired and you have a new batch of people who really need to be brought up speed, there are different ways arranging that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
