The Leader of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Dr Abubakar Al-hassan has noted that the solutions to the country’s problems does not depend on foreign donors but by on Ghanaians.
He said the approach being adopted by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) relying on the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for funding to carry out its developments would not solve the present hardships being faced by the people.
Addressing a meeting of the Eastern Region executive committee meeting at Koforidua on Saturday, Dr. Al-hassan, who is also the National Chairman of the party called for the mass mobilisation of the country’s resources for the production in all fields of the economy for domestic consumption and for export.
According to him, under the leadership of the NPP the country has remained fixated on preserving the economic policy framework promoted by the Western powers even though these policies have run down our productive capacity and blocked economic integration.
He described as unfortunate the derailment of policies and programmes initiated by the Nkrumah regime, which he said, had derailed the country’s economy.
Dr Al-hassan said a CPP government would adopt policies that would be based on industrialization, which would improve the lot of the people.
He spoke on the merger of the CPP and the Ghana Consolidated Popular Party (GCPP) and described it as a move in the right direction and hoped other Nkrumahists would join their folk.
The Leader of CPP referred to the statement made by the NPP National Chairman, Mr Haruna Esseku at its party’s recent congress denying the relevance of the CPP and justifying the 1966 coup, as “nothing more than the groaning of a political leadership that has not been able to keep faith with the masses.”
He stressed that, “CPP believes in the rule of law and democracy and does not believe in Coups.”
He asked the members to explain the party’s polices and programmes to the people to win more souls for the party.
