Former flagbearer aspirant of the New Patriotic party (NPP), Prof. Kwabena Frimpong Boateng, has described Ghana’s economy as Adam and Eve that needs pragmatic changes.

Referring to the biblical Noah's Ark  story, he said Noah was able to "add value to wood" to build a boat which he used to save humanity unlike Adam and Eve who did not add value to the Garden of Eden.

He said the success of any government is not determined by the number of roads, hospitals and schools that it has constructed but instead by the extent to which it is able to develop human capital or resources.

He underscored the need for government to create the enabling environment for Ghanaians to live independent lives.

"The poverty gap is a technology gap", he said.

Speaking to members of the Wa Campus branch of the Tertiary Students Confederacy of the NPP, he said government must strive to depend less on foreign capital and its influence.

"There must be a serious change. Change in the way we do things", he observed.

He told the NPP supporters that if the party comes to power in 2016, they would change the way things are done.

"Our enemies are poverty, mismanagement, hunger, poor education; these are the enemies of Ghana", he said.
