Political Parties Are Just Venture Capital Firms
This piece is drawn from my article titled “The Responsibility of Political Parties.” It examines a growing concern: the transformation of some political parties into entities that increasingly resemble venture capital firms, where strategic interests and returns appear to take precedence over their original mission.In this context, the discussion questions whether the current “arsenal” of political parties still serves the public good, or whether the pursuit of institutional and self-serving interests is gradually eroding the foundational purpose for which these parties were created.I invite you to explore this reflection through this brief podcast format. For a deeper dive into the subject, you can also consult the full article via the link provided.

Trading Power Plants for Ballot Boxes
Trading Power Plants for Ballot Boxes is the first episode of a series of brief reflective audio experiences designed to slow things down and spark critical thinking.In this debut, we explore a provocative question at the heart of Africa’s development debate: are costly Western-style elections always the right priority? Drawing from the article “Regime Change vs. Development: Are We Asking the Right Questions?”, we examine the opportunity costs of democracy, when billions spent on ballots could instead fund power plants, schools, roads, and hospitals.This episode challenges political rituals, introduces the idea of results-based legitimacy, and reflects on why many young people care less about political form and more about real outcomes.As Africa stands at a global crossroads, we ask the uncomfortable but necessary question: is the ballot box always a tool for progress or sometimes a barrier?Listen now and join the conversation on reclaiming the African narrative.
