Vote NPP for better economic management - Bawumia
Winneba (C/R), Oct. 10, Ghanadot/GNA - Dr
Mahamadu Bawuamia, the running mate of Nana Addo Dankwa
Akufo-Addo, has called on the youth to vote for the New
Patriotic Party (NPP), come December 7, 2008 for better
economic management and good governance.
Addressing the TESCON branch of the University of Education
at Winneba as part of a four-day campaign tour in the
Central Region, Dr Bawumia said the youth should not vote
for politicians, who had no vision, good track records, and
likely to create problems in future.
He said NPP government under Nana Akufo-Addo would put in
place comprehensive policies and programmes that would give
them hope for future.
According to Dr Bawumia, President Kufuor's inherited
shattered economy in 2001, but through hard work and
financial discipline, the economy had recorded an impressive
growth in Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and a reduction in
inflation rate.
Dr Bawumia stressed that government had adopted prudent
monetary and fiscal policies that had boosted the economy
and attracted many foreign investors into the country over
the past seven years.
This he said had enabled the country to wean itself from the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) conditions.
He assured the TESCON branch of the party that government
under Nana Akufo-Addo would increase the salaries of
teachers and also provide adequate incentive packages that
would motivate them to work.
Dr Bawumia said the development of education largely
depended on teachers, who held the key to its success.
Mr Kwamena Bartels, Member of Parliament for Ablekuma North
and a member of the Central Regional Campaign Team, urged
TESCON members in the various Universities to intensify
their campaign by explaining government’s policies and
programmes to the electorates to win votes.
He said once in future some them would become political
leaders, it was important that they offered the needed
sacrifice, dedication and patriotism to the party they
belonged.
