Prof Lumumba Slams Africans For Electing "Big Thieves Into Office"

 

Director at the Kenya School of Law, Prof. P.L.O Lumumba never minced a word in his description of political and economic think-tanks in Africa as he has described them as “tanks that
don’t think!”

The  renowned public speaker was captured in his address to a cross section of Ghanaian audience at the Alisa hotel in Accra.

Speaking on the issue of good governance in Ghana and Africa, Prof. Lumumba expressed;“In ‪Africa, we have think tanks…they are tanks, they don’t think,” he stated at a public lecture in Accra .”
He warned the matter could get worse if the very institutions expected to put governments on their toes rather come out with reports which dignify the corrupt practices of their leaders.

“It is time to deliver. And we are the midwives. ‪‎Africa‬ likes new things and we don’t have the staying power. “ In ‎Africa‬, we hang the goat thieves and elect the big thieves into office,” he expressed.
