Founder of the Progressive People's Party (PPP), Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, is blaming Ghana's ever-increasing unemployment and underdevelopment on the refusal of the electorate to vote for any other party other than the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
He accused the electorate of being too gullible enough to believe the empty promises of the two main parties even though they have had nothing to show for the many years they've been in power.
Dr. Ndoum also vowed to fight corruption head-on if he gets the chance to be president was delivering a lecture at the Islamic University College of Ghana in Accra.
The 2012 flag bearer of the PPP said he would set up an independent prosecutor to retrieve funds from corrupt government officials.
The move he said is the surest way to fight corruption and ensure sustainable development.
Dr. Nduom also rubbished the 40-year development plan being put together by the National Development Plan and claims by President Mahama that the energy crisis is over.
According to him, contrary to claims by President Mahama in the State of the Nation Address that the worst ever energy crisis to hit the country is now over, the solution is not sustainable with the power now being supplied even more expensive.
He also encouraged the youth to take charge of the future by holding leadership accountable.
