Accra, Nov. 11, GNA- The Ghana Union Movement (GUM) has criticised the New Patriotic Party (NPP), and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) for \u201cmismanaging the country\u201d and supervising the sale of state-owned businesses bequeathed by previous governments.<\/p>\n
The Party said the sale of state-owned factories to private individuals and failure to revive defunct state enterprises largely accounted for the growing youth employment situation that had bedeviled the country.<\/p>\n
These were contained in a news release issued by the Party\u2019s founder and leader, Reverend Christian Kwabena Andrews, and shared with the Ghana News Agency.<\/p>\n
The GUM urged the youth to \u201cbe concerned about their future\u201d and vote to break the duopoly enjoyed by the NPP and NDC for decades.<\/p>\n
\u201cEmbracing both NDC and NPP as a party is just endorsement of the continuity of the Ghanaian predicament. Ghanaian youth must rise to vote massively against these parties, because they were the source of our problems today,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The GUM said the slow pace of development since the commencement of the Fourth Republic in 1992 justified the call for the \u201ctotal overhaul\u201d of the 1992 Constitution \u201cconsidering the mess caused by both NDC and NPP government respectively.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Party proposed the adoption of what it termed as \u201cHybrid African Democracy\u201d which it said was suitable governance model for the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe current model was copied line, hook, and sinker from the West, where they have established and structured institutions to make their democracy work,\u201d it said.<\/p>\n
The GUM also called for downsizing of Parliament to reduce the cost of running the business of the House.<\/p>\n
The Party said that salaries and benefits awarded to 275 Members of Parliament as well as Article 75 Office Holders \u201cdrain the national purse than building it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe urge the public to vote for the Ghana Union Movement for a reliable, better Ghana with the Ghanaian youth as its core,\u201d the Party said.<\/p>\n
The GUM caused a stir when it placed third in the 2020 presidential election, beating the traditional Convention People\u2019s Party, People\u2019s National Convention, and the Progressive People\u2019s Party.<\/p>\n
The party garnered 105,548 votes, representing 0.805 per cent of the total ballots cast.<\/p>\n
Rev. Andrews has indicated that the Party would build on its achievements in 2020 and affect the 2024 presidential and parliamentary elections.<\/p>\n
The GUM has promised to establish factories in every region and operate a free port to boost economic activities and improve the living conditions of the people.<\/p>\n
