"Part of the reason why poverty still persists in our continent is governments inability to work in a bi-partisan manner with the opposition to confront the many problems facing us as a continent. In almost all the advanced democracies a government in power works or listens to the opposition in matters of national importance such as education, defence, energy and the economy. However in Africa such matters are always hijacked by the ruling government to the detriment of the nation and its people". Lord Aikins Adusei

Kuffour of Ghana returns from Malawi


Kufuor returns home from Malawi 
John Agyekum Kufuor, former President of Ghana
 
Former President John Agyekum Kufuor has returned home from Lilongwe, Malawi, where he led a ten-man team from the Commonwealth to observe the presidential and parliamentary elections of that country.  

Mr. Kufuor described the elections won by incumbent President Bingu wa Mutharika as free and fair and commended Malawians for their orderly conduct which ensured the smooth run of the polls.  

In the run up to the Malawian elections, the African union requested former President Kufuor to lead a delegation to that country to study the political situation there because of heightening tension between the parties.   

Mr. Kufuor said the election was satisfactory.  

The African Union, the European Union, the Southern African Development Community among others also sent observer missions
