Lawyer Maurice Ampaw opened a blistering attack on the establishment over what he describes as widening social disparities in Ghana and insensitivity of officialdom to plight of the masses.
The Human rights lawyer and social commentator said on his programme at the weekend on Wontumi TV, that the ordinary Ghanaian has been suffering for years while governments fail to attend to their critical welfare needs.
According to Mr Maurice Ampaw, part of the problem is wide salary disparities that favour only a few at the top and stifling conditions on the poor.
He said, the national purse is perforated and leaking because of wasteful expenditures by the authorities.
The human rights lawyer who used a pro-govermment platform to lash out at governments in the Fourth of Republic of Ghana, said, the youth ought to rethink, stop following politicians blindly and demand accountability from politicians.
Corruption and the calibration of unfair system by those in upper tier of society are gnawing at the core of national development, the outspoken lawyer stated.
Oxfam international in a recent study cited West Africa as hub of deep social inequalities, Ghana inclusive. The exceptions to rule were Senegal and Cape Verde.
