Progressive Peoples Party (PPP) Parliamentary Aspirant for Awayaso West Wogon in Accra, William Doworkpor says Ghana is at a crossroads and needs a progressive and incorruptible leadership to build strong institutions to propel the country forward.
He said Ghana@55 has not attained a desirable national status and economic independence due to incompetent leaders in the helm of affairs under the 4th Republic.
“The biggest problem we have is that we have not had capable leadership since this 4th Republican Constitution”.
William Duworkpor was commenting on Ghana's achievements under the 4th Republic.
Ghana under the 4th Republic has had leaders like former President Jerry John Rawlings, founder of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) who ruled for 19 years, ex-president John Agyekum Kufuor of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) who had eight years as President and current President John Evans Atta Mills.
Even though they have contributed their quota to national development, these leaders have been accused one way or the other of mismanagement of the economy.
President Mills is bearing the brunt of his opposers with some describing his leadership style as paralyzed.
The other parties like the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), the Peoples National Convention (PNC), the PPP and other smaller parties believe the NDC and NPP must be shown the exit – and the opportunity given to others to prove their worth.
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme Wednesday, William Duworkpor was of the view that Ghana's economic fortunes could have been different if these leaders had put down prudent economic measures.
He said they (Rawlings, Kufuor, and Mills) have failed to govern the country in a transparent, prudent and efficient manner to the benefit of the people who voted for them but rather sought to rob the nation of its resources to enrich themselves.
The Aspiring MP noted that the PPP was ready to deliver an incorruptible leadership should it be voted into power in the December polls.
Drawing an analogy from the Bible about the three stewards who were given money by their master to invest, William said a PPP government “is the one who is able to utilize the resources they have been given and double it so that the fruits would be there for all of us to see”.
William Duworkpor called on all progressive Ghanaians to hand over the leadership mantle to progressive leaders to manage the affairs of the country in December.
"Ghanaians must not for a moment think [that] they have seen it all yet. We limit our options to NDC and NPP alone, I'm sorry to say we are shortchanging ourselves. Let us open our minds; let us listen to the wake=up call - there is a governance system that can be incorruptible, an administration that would offer good stewardship and the basic needs that we are crying over for all these years, education, health and jobs would be delivered to the good people of Ghana," he said.
