He added that Ghana would be much better off if more young people like Twene Jonas spring up to speak without fear.
"If we can all get angry like Twene Jonas and speak the hard truth without fear of suffering or dying, the country will be changed in just a few years to come. We must encourage confident people who speak up to continue speaking, so that we can have a better country, not what we have now," he said.
Waterz Yidana also added that the archaic culture of respecting elders even when they are wrong must stop as the country can only develop if we fearlessly tell our leaders to fix the country.
