Goosie Tanoh pledges commitment to private sector

A Flag bearer aspirant of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Goosie Tanoh, has pledged his commitment  to building a private sector that will grow the Ghanaian economy. 

He said for the country to develop there was the need to build the private sector from the scratch, therefore  if given the opportunity to lead the party and subsequently the country he would ensure the private sector was equipped to flourish.

 “If given the opportunity I will ensure I build the private sector from the scratch because that is the only way we can address most of the problems facing us as a country”, he stated.

 Mr Tanoh was addressing the Cape Coast South branch executive of the NDC in Cape Coast last Saturday, 2018 as part of his Central Regional tour.
 He said he would not support politics of family and friends as it was a major cause of under development in the country.
 
Values of NDC

 Mr Tanoh called on supporters of the NDC to uphold the values of the party in order to win the 2020 elections.

 He said values of social justice, accountability and probity were gradually fading from the party, adding that it was a major cause of the loss of the party in the 2016 elections.

 “NDC wasn’t attractive during the 2016 elections because we didn’t stick to our values as a party, therefore if we don’t stick to our values in the forthcoming elections, there is every probability we would lose”, he said.

Vote buying

The flag bearer aspirant campaigned against vote-buying, saying “your vote is a sacred act that cannot be traded for anything”.

 He stressed the need for the delegates to shun any form of inducement to vote for a particular candidate in the upcoming NDC presidential primary.

 He said the future of delegates and their dependants would be badly affected if they allowed selfish politicians to buy their conscience, saying “don’t be intimidated by threats from anyone and don’t trade your votes for material things and money because your future is in your hands”.

 Mr Tanoh said he would give power to the grass root if given the chance to lead the party as a flag bearer, adding that “real power will return to the grassroots if I am chosen”.

He said the party must chart a new path to restore hope to members and create jobs for the unemployed Ghanaian youth.
