Accra (Greater Accra) Ms Ama Busia First National Vice Chairperson of the New Patriotic Party on Tuesday urged the electorate to take a close look at corruption and the state of the economy when they vote in December.

"As we prepare ourselves to go to yet another election we should not miss the opportunity as a betrayed nation to choose the right candidates who would serve the people effectively and selflessly as we march purposely to rebuild our shattered nation," she said in a statement released in Accra.

Ms Busia said voters should not forget that the country is not poor, adding, "in fact, this country is almost made of gold, bauxite, diamond and good forests.

"We are dejected as a nation because the NDC is not good. We are demoralised, ignored and hungry now because the NDC would want us to be enslaved to their policy of divide and rule."

Ms Busia said Ghanaians should not allow themselves to be deceived, "but rather reflect on our recent past and our pathetic present, and make the decisions that would bring about positive change, liberty, accountability and a life worth living."
