A former flagbearer of the now-defunct National Reform Party, Goosie Tanoh, has described Ghana’s healthcare and education system as one which is in crisis.
Mr. Tanoh made this comment while highlighting challenges facing the country under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
“This country has great potential and gradually, we will get there with the right leadership. Our education is in crisis, our healthcare is in crisis. There is the need to adopt the right policy choices,” he said.
Goosie Tanoh broke away from the NDC ahead of the 2000 election to form the National Reform Party which failed to make any impact in the election which was won by the New Patriotic Party’s John Agyekum Kufuor.
He’s seeking a return to the NDC to contest for the presidency.
Speaking on Citi TV’s Point of View, the former Reform Party leader indicated that he had taken into consideration the level of impunity and injustice and decided to contest to save the situation.
Disability not an impediment
Commenting on NDC MP, Alban Bagbin’s recent description of some appointees’ disability, Mr. Tanoh said people’s disability should not be an impediment to them occupying public offices in the country.
According to him, the intellectual competence of every Ghanaian should be the benchmark for appointment and not physical abilities.
Alban Bagbin has been widely slammed for questioning why Mahama appointed a blind person and a stammerer to serve as ministers.
He believes the country needs to harness the capabilities of all for national development.

Since when did Goosie Tanoh realised that our education and health care are in crisis? You just say this without suggesting any solution to the crisis. P(NDC) rule this country for close to 30 years and destroy our education by introducing the JSS system without enough teachers and sufficient infrastructure....... Was this Goosie guy in Ghana when John Ford Mahama was president? Any !d!.ot can stand for presidential candidate in the NDC party.......
NDC as a political party has no Tradition and philosophy. Their much touted or acclaimed Social Democrats is a borrowed one. Propaganda, lies, and populism have become a hallmark of the NDC. I can't remember the last time the NDC as a political party contributed ideologically and constructively to a national issue or discourse, except always struggling desperately on polemics and populism as if propaganda is the main opposition party policy. I listened to Mr. Goosie Tanoh and I said wow is this gentleman really, a member of the NDC? In the light of his intellect, credibility, and resolve to impart a positive change, I doubt, he fits in with the membership of the NDC.
you were in power for 8yrs so who is to blame
Who doesn't know? When they want power then they tell us what we know. I know ur type nothing to offer go and pay your loans with GCB and stop wasting our ears.
It is only when people are seeking political office that they come out with certain pronouncements. Since when did you know of these crises, and what have you done in your individual capacity to contribute towards addressing them? You just mind your own business elsewhere only to get up one day and start talking about crises, because you think that will get you into political office. Tell us what you have done as an individual, then we can determine whether when given the opportunity, you will be able to do more.
