General News of Thursday, 16 September 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comMember of Parliament for Madina, Lawyer Xavier Francis Sosu, has said that the Western type of democracy which has been adopted in Africa has failed to ensure the development of the continent. “However, democracy as it is currently practised in Africa, does not provide solutions to the complex myriad of problems faced by African societies. The Western type of democracy has failed to develop Africa and its people. As such, it is time for Africa to begin to rethink and take advantage of the values of democracy as are generally known, but necessary to develop a new African Democracy," Lawyer Sosu said. He underscored that the current type of democracy practised in Africa has largely failed because it is founded on tenets that only benefit a few elite class.
