The former CEO of the Ghana Chamber of Bulk Oil Distributors (CBOD), Senyo Hosi, has underscored the pressing need to address Ghana’s fragile democracy amid growing public disillusionment.
In a letter directed at the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, he highlights the declining global trust in democratic institutions and calls for caution and restraint in Ghana’s political discourse.
“Reports of democratic recession globally and a disenchanted African youth must guide our governments and leaders,” Mr Hosi cautioned linking this disillusionment to a perceived inability of democracy to fulfil the promises of Ghana’s 1992 Constitution.
His message goes beyond urging respect for judicial rulings; he highlights the broader risks of eroding institutional trust.

In particular, he warns that disobedience to Supreme Court rulings risks intensifying the public’s disenchantment with democratic governance.
“Let’s not take our progress for granted,” he writes, referencing the steady deterioration of trust in Ghana’s judiciary as a “major risk to our democracy.”
The former CEO also points to the symbolic role the Speaker holds in bridging Ghana’s institutions, urging him to resist partisan calls that would deepen divisions. “
The hawkish voices may be loud, cacophonous, and tempting,” Senyo Hosi acknowledges, “but I strongly urge you not to fall into the trap of counter-productive inter-organ collision which now threatens the efficiency of our state.”
Mr Hosi’s letter encapsulates a broader message for all leaders to champion unity, accountability, and constitutional respect.
He concludes by calling on the Speaker to “put country first” to secure his place in history as a figure who preserved rather than jeopardized Ghana’s democratic legacy.
