Former Minister for Tourism and Chief of Agomeda, Nene Nagai Kassa VIII, also known as Mike Gizo, has called for a reevaluation of Ghana's leadership structure to ensure that qualified and responsible individuals are entrusted with the country's governance.

Mr Gizo expressed concerns about the current political landscape in Ghana, where individuals from diverse backgrounds are able to assume leadership roles without the necessary qualifications.

He emphasized the need to reconsider the selection and preparation of leaders in the country.

During an interview with the media Mr Gizo remarked,“I think we should go back and look at the people that we are producing for our leadership. You can’t do this in other places except for Africa and Ghana.”

Furthermore, Gizo dispelled rumors suggesting that E.T. Mensah had a "bossy" demeanor, explaining that Mensah's approach to his work aligned with his responsibilities.

In paying tribute to the late Council of State member, Gizo described E.T. Mensah as a hard-working politician with exceptional organizational skills.

He highlighted Mensah's grassroots connection and his ability to mobilize and communicate effectively with people, even though some later perceived him as somewhat authoritative, a trait that Mr Gizo attributed to the demands of the job.

“ET Mensah was a very active person, very knowledgeable, he was a grassroots man. Even though he was a top man, his organisational capacity was something because he could organise a thousand people for you within just a few minutes. He knew how to deal with the grassroots, he knew how to talk to people. Later on, people thought he was somehow a bit bossy, but it came with the work,” he added.
