The Founder and Leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Kofi Akpaloo has described Ghana as a country lacking behind in terms of development and has vowed to change the fortunes of Ghanaians through technology when given the opportunity to serve his country as President.
The 2016 Presidential candidate on phone interview with Ghgossip.com said his government is going to build a strong database in order to identify unemployed citizens and collate the needed information to better the country.
Kofi Akpaloo said Ghana as a country will lack behind if the technology is not taken seriously.
He said it is his vision to improve and take Ghana forward to where it should have been after all these years after gaining independence.
“It is my dream to become President of Ghana so that I can improve and take the country forward to where God wants it to be. When you look at Ghana from 1957 to the current administration, things have not gone the way it should have”, Mr. Akpaloo shared.
“Previous administrations have all done their part, but we are still lacking behind. We are now witnessing the Akufo-Addo regime and he is also doing what he can do. All the past Presidents had a good vision to help the country go forward, but we are still lacking behind. And that is what motivates me. That’s what they have been able to achieve. If I also get the opportunity, I will be able to do more and achieve something beyond the imagination of Ghanaians
He continued that his party standing up for the middle class and working-class people, he is going to make sure that taxes will be reduced where more jobs will be created in order to improve the living condition of the citizenry in terms of money.
“We are not able to raise capital and that is our biggest problem. Even the smallest project that we want to undertake we always want to go for grants from foreign countries before we can do it. We are not able to raise money among ourselves”, he fumes.
Mr. Kofi Akpaloo adds that it is his vision for Ghanaians to own our own resources whiles utilizing the human resource to develop what we have. He is optimistic that it will help us to develop as a country when we blend it with other policies he will be implementing when given the nod to lead the country.
