Let’s have “self-belief and the can-do-it spirit - Ashanti CPP

The acting Regional Chairman, Mr A.S. Osei Yaw, in a press statement, a copy of which was made available to the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Kumasi, denounced corrupt practices and insensitivity, resulting in the loss of huge sums of money to the nation.

It gave a bleak assessment of the nation’s future, citing what it said were enormous problems in the health, education, agricultural and the trade and industry sectors.

The statement said it was shameful that 56 years into nationhood, Ghana’s lot had been that of erratic power, joblessness, high rate of illiteracy due to poverty, more people dying through accidents caused by bad roads.

The CPP in the statement further expressed worry about what it saw as cronyism, favouritism and sectional interest in the appointments and placements into high offices.

“Today’s Ghana is polarised and split along tribal lines” something it warned was unhelpful for the nation’s unity and stability.
