AFAG Lauds Mills And Kufuor Talks

The Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) has lauded President Mills and his predecessor, John Agyekum Kufuor, for putting ideological sentiments aside and holding meetings to look at the national interest.

Both have shown commitment to Ghana and exhibited a high level of statesmanship, AFAG said in a statement. “The country would at this stage need all hands on deck in other to achieve growth and development devoid of scoring cheap political points. We will want to call on the President to consider making these meetings periodic”.

AFAG has thus suggested the establishment of a club of former presidents to meet periodically with the aim of discussing matters of national interest.

The group said an engagement of the leadership of all political parties to discuss key national issues will also be welcomed in the country’s efforts to better the lots of the over 24 million Ghanaians. “AFAG seeks to remind the President and Parliament of their constitutional responsibility of taking care of the former president and urge them to catalyze efforts at laying to rest the Ex-Gratia of President Kufour”.

Long live Ghana; long live our heads of state
