NDUOM: ...CPP WILL DEVELOP 3 NORTHERN REGIONS (PAGE 13)

Story: Akwasi Ampratwum-Mensah, Sunyani

The flag bearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, has given the assurance that the CPP will embark on an effective development of the three northern regions if the party is voted into power in the December general election.
He noted that there were fertile lands in those areas which, when developed, would provide food security for the people and allow some for export which could earn the country foreign exchange for infrastructural development.
Addressing supporters of the CPP in Sunyani in the Brong Ahafo Region, the flag bearer also observed that if the Mole National Park received the needed attention, it would serve as a tourist attraction which could also bring in money to develop the economy, saying that if he was voted into power, his government would concentrate on the development of the park.
“I have been to Kenya and seen things for myself, as people pay $120 to watch lions. So why can’t we turn things around at the Mole National Park for foreigners to come here to pay and watch animals?” he asked.
He pointed out that Ghanaians were really suffering, as there was no money in their pockets, contrary to what was promised by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that its government would ensure that there was money in their pockets.
Dr Nduom said the NPP government had got some few months left to leave the scene and yet it had done nothing to please the people and that given the chance to rule the country, the CPP would ensure that Ghanaians really enjoyed life by putting in place sound economic policies.
The flag bearer told the supporters that the CPP had in its fold men and women who were capable of turning the economy around within the shortest possible time after taking over the reins of government.
He stressed that the CPP, under Dr Kwame Nkrumah, put in place sound economic policies that made Ghana the beacon of hope for the whole of Africa and so under his leadership Ghana would bounce back as an economic giant in Africa.
