Political parties must come together to draw an economic plan for Ghana \u2013 NDC member<\/b><\/p>\n With an economic plan, Ghana will develop irrespective of the party in power \u2013 Samoa Addo<\/p>\n We can politicise governance style and not economic issues \u2013 Nii Kpakpo Addo<\/p>\n A member of the NDC, Nii Kpakpo Samoa Addo, has said the over politicisation of economic issues is greatly affecting Ghana\u2019s development.<\/p>\n Speaking on Asaase Radio on December 8, 2022, Samoa Addo, said the two leading parties must come to an agreement not to politicise issues regarding Ghana\u2019s economy because it is affecting the development process of the country.<\/p>\n \u201cIf we\u2019re not prepared to depoliticise our economy, we will not develop as a nation because we don\u2019t have what it takes in terms of economic structure to jump from point A to B without a common agenda. If we don\u2019t depoliticise the economy, it will be very difficult to develop this country,\u201d Asaaseradio.com reported.<\/p>\n He said instead of politicizing the issues the two leading political parties, National Democratic Congress (NDC) and New Patriotic Party (NPP), together with order stakeholders should rather come together to come up with an economic plan for the country.<\/p>\n \u201cWe need to have a common economic plan. That plan is apolitical, we go for a national summit or something and agree that this is the plan for Ghana for the next 15 years, when you (any party) come into power you can\u2019t change it. You are bound by it.\u201d<\/p>\n According to him with a common economic plan, the government irrespective of the party in power would be focused on achieving the economic goals of the country without fees of impediment from other stakeholders.<\/p>\n \u201cWhen we have a common economic plan, then we know that if for the first five years it is going to be very painful economic systems or decisions we have to take, there will be no NDC, NPP battle over whether we should have these taxes.<\/p>\n \u201cFor example, E-Levy if we all agree that the economic teams of both parties must come together and say as for the economy this is what Ghana needs, so Ghana first,\u201d said stated.<\/p>\n Nii Kpakpo Addo who is also a legal practitioner said what politicians can do is to criticise the governance of the party in power with regards to its expenditure, appointments and order issues relating to governance.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you have a common plan, you know that you are not going to be worrying about your opponent hitting you in respect of the economy, let him hit you because of governance issues. If you are wasting money in terms of specific projects, maybe you are buying unnecessary cars, you have appointed excess ministers\u2026 these are some of the things legitimately you can criticise,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Legal practitioner and member of the NDC, Nii Kpakpo Samoa Addo Political parties must come together to draw an economic plan for Ghana \u2013 NDC member With an economic plan, Ghana will develop irrespective of the party in power \u2013 Samoa Addo We can politicise governance style and not economic issues \u2013 Nii Kpakpo Addo […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":741486,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-741485","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741485","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=741485"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/741485\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=741485"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=741485"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2022\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=741485"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Legal](\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/54162286.295.jpg\" "\\"Legal")
