GHANAIANS ARE READY FOR CHANGE — MAHAMA (Page 17)

Story: Tim Dzamboe, Ho

THE presidential candidate of the People’s National Convention (PNC), Dr Edward Mahama, has said that his tour of the Volta Region has revealed that the people are ready for another change.
He stated that the electorate had the power to bring about an effective change that was an alternative to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and that it was the turn of the PNC now, in order to balance the scales.
Dr Mahama was speaking to the Daily Graphic after addressing town hall meetings at various district capitals in Hohoe, Kpandu, Jasikan, Kadjebi, Nkwanta, Dambai and Kete-Krachi last weekend.
According to him, the abandoned Hohoe town roads was an indication that the people had been deceived politically.
He said at Kpando, fishermen were deprived of access to inputs for their work.
At Kadjebi, he asked teachers to change the mindset of Ghanaians by adopting the “can do” spirit, believing in themselves, and changing their attitude towards time management.
He said with good time management it would be easy to instil discipline in the people.
Dr Mahama said that when elected president he would ensure that a sports team called Academicals will be formed in every sporting discipline in all senior high schools.
He also said all lorry parks of the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) will be rehabilitated for the comfort of passengers.
This initiative he said should be the the hallmark of a president willing to solve petty problems of the people, adding that the ovation he received throughout the tour was “ Pi pi pi, yebe ko assembly”.
