Professor Kofi Agyekum, popularly known as Opanyin Agyekum, a lecturer at the University of Ghana, Legon has asked government to include making the lives of the underprivileged better in its 2014 resolution. He said the less-privileged has been abandoned for so long; �it is time to focus on them�. Opanyin Agyekum has also asked politicians to put aside politics and help in building the nation. Contributing to panel discussion on �Kokrokoo� programme, he told Kwami Sefa-Kayi that �politics in the country is doing more harm than good�. He said instead of focusing on what will lead to development in the country; politicians will rather take sides with their political party, whether they are right or wrong. �In 2014 this attitude must stop. There are people suffering in the grassroots and so in 2014 government as well politicians should concentrate on nation building than politicking�They should also put emphasis on agriculture and how to better the lives of the poor,� he added.
