The Omanhene (Chief) of the Begoro traditional
area, Nana Awuah Kotoko has called on the people of Ghana to give Dr Papa Kwesi
Nduom the chance to rescue the country from the paralysis it finds itself
presently.Nana Awuah Kotoko says the experience of Dr Nduom is enough
for him to lend support to him believing that he has the necessary credentials
to change this country for good.
He therefore called on Ghanaians to give
the astute businessman the chance to make good his promises.
‘’We are
suffering… this suffering isn’t in only one person’s home. Even those close to
power are complaining so imagine those of us faraway from power?’’ he quizzed.
He wondered why politicians for whom we pay all our monies to, have
miserably failed to better the lots of the people
‘’We pay taxes to
governments to make our lives better so I wonder why they take our monies and
fail to render better stewardship and account to us the people who elect them to
come and make our lives better.”
Citing Cocoa Marketing Company (CMC) to
back his claims, the chief who indicated that he was once an accountant for the
company, revealed they never went out to look for money to purchase cocoa beans.
He believes that alone is enough evidence of a decaying economy.
‘’Look
at cocoa for instance: we purchased cocoa beans with funds from the Bank of
Ghana, but today, we need to go out there to look for money in order to purchase
cocoa beans for export.’’
Nana Awuah Kotoko was speaking when the vice
presidential candidate for the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Brigitte
Dzogbenuku, paid a courtesy call on him at his palace in
Begoro. |
