Ghanaian highlife musician Bisa Kdei has shared his thoughts on leadership, accountability, and governance in Ghana, stressing the need for citizens to actively hold leaders responsible.
Speaking in an interview on Joy Prime on March 26, 2026, the artiste disclosed that he missed the opportunity to vote in a previous election due to illness, despite his strong desire for political change.
“Last two years, I was somewhere, and the voting was happening, and I was actually sick, so I couldn’t vote. I was all for change, and I’m happy the change came,” he said.
Bisa Kdei emphasised that leadership must be met with both praise and scrutiny, noting that accountability is essential for national development.
“The thing is, if you work hard, people will praise you. At the end of the day, it’s our money and our country, so we have to speak up. If a leader is not doing their work properly, we have to say it,” he stated.
He added that governance decisions directly affect every citizen, including his own family, particularly in areas such as taxation and economic policy.
“My family is here as well, and when taxes come, we will all be involved,” he noted.
Commenting on the current administration led by John Dramani Mahama, the musician observed that the president appears to be acting swiftly in his approach.
“I think Mahama is moving too fast,” he remarked.
However, he cautioned that Ghanaians often overlook progress over time, drawing parallels with trends in the music industry.
