1 week ago A victory for democracy and a call to duty for the newly elected GGSSA leadership

It is encouraging to see a union like the Ghana Gas Senior Staff Association (GGSSA) practice a level of democracy that merits national praise in a nation where many institutions still struggle with accountability, transparency, and the fundamentals of participatory governance. The peaceful, competitive, and credible electoral process that resulted in Nashiru Kanton Luriwie as Chairman is a model that many public and private institutions can learn from. Democracy thrives where people freely choose their leaders. And in this case, the overwhelming support given to Nashiru is not just a vote of confidence, it is a reflection of hope. Hope that leadership can be honest. Hope that institutions can work. Hope that Ghana Gas, and ultimately Ghana, can secure its rightful place as a beacon of progress.
