Prof. Mike Oquaye calls for greater respect for EC Chair
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Former Speaker of Parliament, Prof. Aaron Mike Oquaye, has expressed his deep admiration for the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission (EC), Jean Mensa, describing her as “very brilliant and honest.”

In a candid interview on Starr Chat with Nathan Kwabena Adisi Anokye popularly known as Bola Ray, monitored by www.kumasimail.com, Prof. Oquaye emphasized the importance of taking the EC Chair’s work and position more seriously, noting that Mensa’s leadership has been instrumental in navigating Ghana’s complex electoral landscape.

“Jean Mensa is very brilliant and honest, and I think the EC Chair must be taken far more seriously,” Prof. Oquaye stated. He went on to highlight his experiences with political parties and election issues over the years, underscoring the critical role of strong, independent leadership in the success of democratic processes.

Reflecting on his years of involvement in Ghana’s political arena, Prof. Oquaye shared his concern about how some people tend to overlook the serious nature of the EC’s work. He recounted his engagement with electoral matters, which date back to when he was just eighteen years old.

His remarks reflected a broader sentiment that electoral institutions like the EC must be safeguarded and their leadership respected, to ensure the integrity of Ghana’s democracy.

The former Speaker also spoke on the wider political landscape, urging Ghanaians to pay close attention to key figures and their roles in shaping the nation’s future.

He noted that his own career, as well as the careers of others, was built on a commitment to honorable service, adding that leaders like Jean Mensa epitomize the qualities needed to sustain that legacy.

Prof. Oquaye mentioned that despite the challenges and oddities of political life, such as unforeseen events that may occur, he remains optimistic about the future.

He referenced the recently proposed Transition Bill, calling it an important step toward strengthening governance and ensuring smooth political transitions.

“We worked together, and the Transition Bill was put out there,” Prof. Oquaye explained, praising the collaboration that led to the bill’s introduction. He added that such legislative efforts are crucial for the continued development of democratic processes in Ghana.

Prof. Oquaye’s interview also touched on the need for unity and cooperation across political factions, noting that it is through working together that lasting progress can be achieved.

The interview was filled with insightful reflections on leadership, the electoral process, and the role of key institutions like the EC in Ghana’s democracy. Prof. Oquaye’s remarks serve as a reminder of the importance of strong, ethical leadership at all levels of governance, particularly in safeguarding the integrity of national elections.
