Dr. Nduom-- PPP founder |
The presidential hopeful and founder of the Progressive People's
Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom has emphatically stated that the
deteriorating economy of the country could only be salvaged if Ghanaians
give the PPP the mandate.
He noted that the country, which has
abundant natural resources, is currently in dilemma, adding that Ghana
would have a better economy if the necessary measures are put in place.
He
attributed Ghana's developmental problems to ignorance, selfishness,
partiality and greed on the part of some leaders who consider their
selfish interests, a situation he said has led the nation to
under-development.
Dr. Nduom disclosed this at Apam in the Gomoa
West District of Central Region during a nationwide tour of the Central
region as part of his campaign.
Addressing the gathering at Apam,
the Presidential hopeful hinted that PPP will focus on four thematic
areas aimed at increasing the standard of living of Ghanaians.
According
to him, the party will introduce a free educational policy from the
kindergarten to the Senior High School (SHS) level.
He expressed
worry about the poor educational system in the country after 55 years of
independence, adding 'some pupils of school-going age cannot have
access to free and quality education in this country but the PPP has a
better policy to help Ghanaians realize their dreams.
Dr. Nduom
observed that the fishing industry has contributed massively to the
growth of the Ghanaian economy and needs effective remedy to prevent it
from collapsing.
Dr. Nduom, who born and bred in a fishing
community, indicated that with the provision of affordable outboard
motors, financial assistance and other fishing equipment, the fishing
industry will be revived.
'I am from a coastal community, I
schooled and have lived most of my life there, I know and understand the
intricacies in the fishing industry, therefore I will revive the
industry when you vote PPP into power,' he said.
