FORMER TRADES Minister, Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku,
has observed that the country is currently in economic distress because National
Democratic Congress (NDC) government cannot solicit support
outside.According to him, the ruling political party lack international
touch and because of this they (NDC) are not able to attract adequate
international support to help the country to overcome its present financial
difficulties.
Dr. Konadu Apraku opined that Ghana’s economic problems,
which had impoverished majority of the citizenry, could have been averted if the
NDC government and its top members had a clout of the international
stage.
The former Member of Parliament (MP) for Offinso North
Constituency in the Ashanti Region stated that NDC’s lack of international links
was also preventing potential foreign investors from investing in the
country.
He therefore appealed to the electorates to vote massively for
the New Patriotic Party (NPP), led by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, who have
strong international links to help Ghana overcome its problems.
“We are
experiencing one of the worst economic problems in the history of our country
presently because the ruling NDC and their leading members don’t have
international links who can assist the country.”
“Nowadays we hardly see
foreign investors visiting our country to do business to expand the economy and
create job opportunities for the unemployed youth”, he said whilst speaking at
the Asawase Constituency NPP campaign launch.
Dr. Konadu Apraku therefore
urged the electorates to vote massively for the NPP “because this is a party
whose leading members have strong links outside which can attract foreign
investors to boost the economy”.
“Most of the NPP leading members either
schooled or worked in America, Europe or Asia so we have classmates and friends
who are making it big in their various countries and would therefore readily
come to invest here if the NPP is in power”.
The programme which was
christened ‘People’s Forum’ and aired live on Ashh FM in Kumasi was attended by
NPP Presidential Candidate Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, Joe Gartey and other top
party members in the region. |
