Dr Osafo launches CPP presidential
candidate bid
Accra, Sept 6, Ghanadot/GNA - Dr Kwaku Osafo has launched
his bid to be elected as the presidential candidate of the
Convention People's Party (CPP) for Election 2008 and said
he was well placed to deliver the country from its woes.
He told the media on Wednesday that his international and
local exposure and wide range working experience that cut
across engineering, economics and finances had given him the
aptitude to deliver Ghanaians from their difficulties and
bad governance.
Dr Osafo, 63, a product of the Kwame Nkrumah Ideological
Institute, said Ghana needed an economic system whose key
elements were a pragmatic approach to the questions of
private ownership and government intervention.
He said there must be socially responsible use of the means
of production, public or private, and an intense commitment
to high productivity.
"Whoever wins the CPP presidential slot will definitely give
the other candidates from the so called bigger parties a run
for their money. Watch out for CPP in Election 2008."
Dr Osafo was born on November 24, 1943 and entered the
Stanford University Palo Alto, California, where he obtained
Masters in Economics and PhD in Applied Economics, MBA in
Finance from the University of Ghana, Legon.
He holds MSc in Irrigation and Water Resources Engineering,
from the University of California Davis, BSc in Agricultural
Engineering Civil Option from the Israeli Institute of
