We must strengthen the institutions and we will do just that when the NDC comes to power in January 2025, God willing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is our duty to ensure that our sources of wealth are not given away to obscure entities shrouded in opaque deals. We must not arrive at a destination where our national assets and natural resources are treated by some as if they were assets of their own creation, to be willed forever to relatives and friends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe must be passionate about justice, about the protection of our environment, about protecting our differently abled citizens. We must be passionate about institutions that are responsive to our collective needs.
