CPP urges government to be
result-oriented
Kumasi, Jan.3, Ghanadot/GNA – The Convention People’s Party
(CPP) has called on the government to desist from the
frequent quotation of figures as economic progress of the
country and seek to implement quick result-oriented policies
that will ensure “food in the bellies and money in the
pockets” of the suffering masses in the country.
“Like its predecessor, the ruling government is a
hydra-headed octopus that veers and barks, depending on the
prevailing economic and political atmosphere and only
oscillates, flounders and hopes for the best without
exploring permanent solutions to our real problems,” Mr
Akwasi Bosompem Boateng, Ashanti Regional Secretary of the
party, stated on Tuesday.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Kumasi to comment on
the expectations of Ghanaians in the New Year, Mr Boateng
explained that the frequent strikes in both terms of the NPP
government were a clear proof of its inability to change
worst situations for the electorate.
He said the NPP had not produced programmes and policies
markedly different from the NDC regime since the
government’s plans and directions continued to rely on the
pockets of reluctant foreign donors who attached very
unfavourable strings to their offers.
The CPP, he said was calling on the electorate, especially
young men and women to critically examine their living
conditions from 1992, analyse them and draw inspiration from
the new CPP, under Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom and rally behind
activities and programmes of the party, adding that, “with
Dr Nduom as flagbearer and Mr Ladi Nylander as chairman of
CPP, there is no surprise too much for organised Nkrumaist
to pull”.
Mr Boateng said after years of searching, discerning voters
now had the most suitable alternative in the person of Dr
Nduom to choose in the 2008 elections.
He called on all leading members who contested and lost at
the party’s national congress not to be worried but instead
bring their talents, achievements and support together, by
accepting positions and responsibilities that might be
assigned them by the leadership of the party.
Mr Boateng also called on the Ghanaian youth neither to sell
their conscience nor strength to any group or individual for
acts that could bring any unreasonable chaos and mayhem,
before, during and after this year’s general elections.
