Veteran Ghanaian comedian and media personality Kwaku Sintim-Misa, popularly known as KSM, has lamented the failure of the older generation to build sustainable systems that would benefit the youth.
Speaking in a post on his YouTube channel, KSM emphasized that every responsible generation has a duty to enhance what they inherit and pass on a better legacy to future generations.
He criticized the current generation for not only failing to build on inherited foundations but also for damaging them, leaving a weaker system for the next generation.
“Our passing generation has been irresponsible because we have not been able to leave you any legacy,” he said.
KSM highlighted the purpose of a responsible generation: to improve inherited structures and hand over something stronger.
However, he observed that the current generation has, instead, damaged what it inherited, leaving the youth with a weakened legacy.
“The duty of every responsible generation is that whatever your generation inherits, you do two things: you improve it, you make it better so that you can hand over to the next generation something better than you inherited. But we are in this country where we inherit something, and not only do we leave it where we inherited it; we damage it,” he said.
He expressed frustration over the actions of current leaders, which he described as “ridiculous,” noting the substantial debt burden left for younger generations with no tangible assets or systems in place to manage it.
“We do certain things that are ridiculous. I mean, if I was going to say things, it would sound like I’m insulting somebody. The fooling is too much. There’s too much fooling in this country, folks, and it hurts me because the youth that we are suffering leave a legacy for the children and our children’s children,” he stated.
KSM called on the older generation to stop the “fooling” and start implementing meaningful changes to create a better future for the youth.
“Start thinking twice. Stop the fooling, folks,” he urged.
