NDC needs 20 more years to reform Ghana - MP

National Democratic Congress [NDC] Member of Parliament [MP] for Juabeso, Hon. Kwabena Mintah-Akando has appealed to Ghanaian electorate to consider giving the ruling party another twenty [20] years in power.

According to him, the NDC is the only political party that has the political will to eradicate corruption which has been hanging around the neck of the nation like an albatross.

The NDC MP indicted the opposition New Patriotic Party [NPP] for “doing nothing” to rid the country of the canker when they had the opportunity to govern under the leadership of then President John Agyekum Kufuor.

Speaking on Accra-based Adom FM, the NDC legislator admitted that Ghana’s economy is challenged, but, however, assured that the hardships being faced by Ghanaians will soon be over; and pleaded with the electorate to maintain the NDC in power for the next 20 years.

“The NDC is the only party with the strong will to fight corruption, and I know Ghanaians will give us [NDC] 20 years more…The president [John Mahama] will do whatever it takes to fight corruption and ensure the economy is stabilized,” he said.
