I was in the Brong Ahafo region this past week. I have been to the region several times, but this time I was there to campaign on behalf of PPP parliamentary candidates and myself. What I heard, saw and experienced overall convinces me that the election must be about development.
It must not just be about winning votes. We need votes to win power and implement our ideas, yes. But we must face the realities on the ground and fashion solutions, good ones, that will improve the living standards of the people.
GN Bank is in every major town in the region and this we have done against great odds. There is a huge infrastructure deficit there as the roads are horrible including the ones leading to productive areas such as Sampa, Tuobodom, Berekum, Yeji and Kajeji.
These towns are part of the agricultural belt in a region that has given us cashew, cocoa, rice, yam, etc. There is a lack of local investment to support the processing of the cashew, yam, cocoa to create jobs and as a result provide the assurance of a good market for the hard working farmers there. There is no protection from government to ensure that the cashew farmers do not continue to suffer from predatory foreign buyers.
American farmers are better off because their government PROTECTS them against unfair competition and provides subsidies in various forms. The PPP will provide Ghanaian farmers the same opportunities to live a better life.
We can do this.
