Flagbearer of the Great Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP), Dr. Henry Herbert Lartey has stated that the time frame earmarked for political campaigns in Ghana gives no room for development.
Speaking with JoyNews' Lexis Bill, Dr. Lartey said while political parties in Ghana use a maximum of two years to get their message across, this can be done within 25 to 60 days.
He stressed that although Presidents need their ministers to work effectively, ironically, it takes a “whole year to put ministers in their positions and two years into the Minister's work, another electioneering year begins.
"When are we going to get anything positive?, we won’t be able to achieve much, for America it's okay but for a small country like Ghana, the pressure is too much, our system that we have here doesn’t help us," he said.
Dr. Henry Herbert Lartey said the time has come for the Ghanaian electorate to buy into his party’s ‘domestication’ and modern industrialisation agenda.
He said the twin agenda remained the hope for the nation and encouraged the electorate to rally behind the GCPP by voting for the party in the December 7 general election in order to put Ghana’s development on the right course.
