Has Akufo-Addo Rebuilt Ghana?
I agree with Mahama that Ghana is not what he intended for us. When he left, there was no Free SHS. When he left, the Kumasi-Accra road, which is being built now, was in a very bad shape.
The situation in Ghana has changed, according to Kofi Akpaloo. Today, go to Adugyama to see the construction of an Agenda 111 Hospital project. Today, every senior high school is full with students who have a lot of facilities provided by this government.
He said that the number of people learning to sew and cut hair has gone down a lot because of the Free SHS program.
During this time, the Kumasi-Obuasi road (Anhweankwanta) was built. Mr. Akpaloo said that Ghana has changed for the better under Akufo-Addo.
He said that Ghana has changed a lot under Akufo-Addo. The Bolgatanga-Bawku road has been built. We made a road from Abirem to Nkawkaw. Ghana has truly changed”
He urged Mr. Mahama to stop wishing doom and failure upon this administration as that constitutes political witchcraft.
He asked Mahama to tell Ghanaians what he would add to the massive developments and changes Ghana has seen under the presidency of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in case he is elected as president again.
The General Secretary said the party was currently electing regional and electoral area officers, who would be trained to garner support and votes for the LPG at the polls.
He said it was time Ghanaians rejected the New Patriotic Party (NPP), the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and all other minority parties and give the LPG the chance to govern the country.
“We are the only liberal party in Ghana, and we know what the two parties have done so far, so we are just appealing to Ghana to give us the opportunity as liberals to turn things around for the country.
“We supported the NPP to win the elections but honestly, we all as Ghanaians know the disappointment that has come from the camp of the NPP.
The NDC has also gotten the opportunity so many times, but they were not able to do anything meaningful to help Ghana.
“We are just promoting liberalism in Ghana, and we think it is now time for all of us to believe that liberals can do better for Ghana,” he said.
Mr Appauh said the LPG would implement a “Child Benefit” programme where the government would give families and mothers with children monthly stipend to ease the burden on parents.
