“I want to be Mayor of Accra” – Casely-Hayford

A member of the pressure group, OccupyGhana, Mr Sydney Casely-Hayford has said he relishes being Mayor of the national capital, Accra, under any Government.

The financial Analyst in an interview on Starr FM on Tuesday morning said he will turn down an offer from a future Akufo-Addo government to serve as a financial adviser or Minister, but would not mind jumping at an opportunity to be a Mayor whether under the current Mahama administration or in an Akufo-Addo government.

Asked why he wanted to be a mayor of Accra, Mr Casely-Hayford said, “I think that we can change Accra significantly from what it is today with very little effort.

“I think that we are doing zilch in what is possible to be able to show a different face of Accra and get Accra to be a better city than it is.

“And if it weren’t for the fact that we tend to be too much corruptible and we think on corruption lines, we wouldn’t see what we are seeing today,” Mr Casely-Hayford said.

According to him, “If this government today tells me, Sydney we would like you to be mayor of Accra, and I tell them what my conditions are to being mayor of Accra and they accept it, I will do it.”
