The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey has called on Ghanaians to hold the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) accountable by voting them out for their poor handling of the economy.
Speaking in an interview with Bernard Avle, he urged citizens to vote out the NPP in the upcoming 2024 general elections. According to him, the current hardship levels that the country is witnessing is as a result of the incompetence of the government in managing the economy and high levels of corruption perpetuated under the governing NPP administration.
He also stressed on the importance of prosecuting government officials found guilty of corruption to serve as a deterrent for future administrations, including the NDC. He highlighted the necessity for Ghanaians to unite and build a consensus to support the NDC in their bid to unseat the NPP.
During the interview, Kwetey also praised the patriotism of certain NPP members who have come forward with valuable information to the MP for North Tongu, Okudzeto Ablakwa.
“I believe that regardless of our differences, the common love we have for our country should unite us at all moments…I remember during the recent June 4, in my speech, I actually saluted a lot of patriots who are in the NPP. Who in the midst of all these difficulties, continue to do a lot of patriotic duties.
“I can tell you, for example, a lot of the scandals, which my good brother MP for North Tongu [is working on]. A lot of information coming up is from patriots of NPP. Who are simply sick and tired of what’s going on. I can tell you, they do it in the interest of our country.”
He emphasised, “There are still good people in the NPP. The plan should be to be able to have a coalition of genuine Ghanaian patriots.
“Unfortunately, for those who are in charge of NPP today, the level of patriotism is so low, that is why first they need to lose. The country must unite to make sure that they are punished, and prosecuted, to be an example to even NDC in the future.
“You cannot take a country, misgovern it, lie to that country and do the kind of levels of corruption we have seen in the last couple of 8 years,” he mentioned
