NDC, NPP Fail To Seek Welfare Of People - Bright Akwetey
Bright Akwetey - CPP flagbearer aspirant A
presidential aspirant of the Convention Peoples
Party, Mr Bright Akwetey, has slammed the National
Democratic Congress and the New Patriotic Party
for sacrificing the welfare of Ghanaians to other
secondary matters.

He has therefore charged the rank and file of the
CPP membership to work hard to recapture political
power and use it to fight for the welfare of the
citizenry.

He said the welfare of the people was paramount,
yet the NDC and the NPP have sacrificed it to
other secondary matters.

Mr Akwetey was addressing delegates of the party
in the northern sector at Hohoe and the Central
and Southern sectors at Ho on different occasions
as part of preparations for a national delegates
conference to be held at Takoradi on May 12, next
week.

Mr Bright Akwettey therefore appealed to the
electorate to give their mandate to the CPP to
safeguard the country’s peace and orderly
development.

This he said was because both the NDC and the NPP
seemed intent on plunging the country into chaos
as a price for power.

He said Ghana had had enough of experiments under
the governance of the two political parties and
needed qualitative change in leadership that would
assert the country’s political, social and
economic sovereignty and cohesion similar to the
first CPP government under late President Osagyefo
Dr Kwame Nkrumah.

He added that food, shelter, health, education and
agriculture were the philosophy of the CPP
government that charted a line of action towards
the welfare of the people.

He said the number of wayside retailers on the
streets continue to grow and cried that “it must
stop, it must change with the CPP” saying that
with the NPP or NDC, the value will remain the
same.

According to him, an insight into the work of the
Attorney General Department had revealed that
people had used the governance machinery to siphon
state resources to enrich themselves and their
families.

He said an obnoxious mining law accentuated by
government leadership had led to the exploitation
of the state over the years and said that when
given the nod, his government, under the CPP, will
show more love and sympathy to Ghanaians.

Mr Akwetey charged all party members to make the
party attractive, stressing that they should file
very good candidates as parliamentary candidates
who can articulate themselves well in parliament.

Welcoming the delegates, the Volta Regional
chairman of the CPP, Mr Vincent Norgbedzi,
commended the delegates for showing up in good
numbers, saying it demonstrated the high sense of
unity in the party and asked them to maintain the
spirit.

He said the election this year is about three
political parties, that is, the NPP, NDC and the
CPP with the hope that the People National
Convention (PNC) will eventually unite with the
CPP to form an Nkrumaist front to victoriously
contest the elections.
