A former chairman of parliament’s Public
Accounts Committee has expressed unhappiness over government’s failure to
apprehend persons who have stolen from the state coffers as revealed by the
Committee over the past few years.Speaking at a rally at Shiabu,
Dansoman, in the Ablekuma West constituency during Nana Akufo-Addo's campaign
tour of the Greater Accra Region on Tuesday, 4 October, Mr Albert Kan-Dapaah
noted that Ghanaians should not be suffering because the country has been
blessed with enough resources. However, he continued, the mismanagement of the
economy by the John Mahama administration had resulted in many Ghanaians living
with hardship.
“I’ve been the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee
before and when I think about how state funds are being embezzled, yet
perpetrators are not arrested and left to go free, it beats my imagination. We
need change this year. Let’s join hands and together say we are tired of people
embezzling our funds. We are not a poor country, so this year vote wisely and
vote for Nana Akufo-Addo,” he told the gathering.
The former
Afigya-Sekyere legislator also urged the constituents to vote massively for the
NPP parliamentary aspirant Ursula Owusu-Ekuful.
According to him, Mrs
Owusu-Ekuful is one of the rare breed of vibrant legislators who contribute to
discussions on the floor of the house, hence should be retained in parliament to
oversee development in the constituency during an Akufo-Addo government in
2017. |
