CPP to act fearlessly to tackle corruption – Greenstreet
The Presidential Candidate of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Mr. Ivor Kobina Greenstreet, has vowed to act fearlessly to tackle corruption – to stop the loot of the nation’s resources, if voted to power.
He said his government would go to all lengths to strengthen and adequately resource state anti-corruption institutions and the enforcement agencies to perform.
The law would be made to work and that no offender would escape punishment.
Mr. Greenstreet was addressing a meeting with constituency officials and supporters of the party drawn from across the Kumasi metropolis at the Ghana National Association of Teachers (GNAT) Hall in Kumasi.
He was on a six-day election campaign tour of the region to woo voters ahead of the coming polls and had earlier worshiped with Muslims at the Central Mosque.
The CPP flagbearer said the nation’s resources would be protected – transparently and efficiently managed to benefit everybody.
He repeated his determination to focus on the development of the agricultural sector, to substantially boost crop yield and returns to the farmer.
Mr. Greenstreet spoke of agricultural mechanization, construction of irrigation systems, technical support and the supply of inputs to farmers.
He said the goal was to ensure that the sector became more vibrant, attractive and rewarding.
He again promised to create jobs and take steps to fix the energy problem by increasing the generation capacity.
