For the 2020 elections, President Akufo-Addo and the NPP have strong competition from the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) in terms promises as the former has announced plans to give every constituency a cash crop.

Mr John Amekah, the acting National Chairman of the Party, The LPG believes that the solution to poverty in Ghana is to empower people by creating jobs in key sectors of the economy including Agriculture and processing.

He made these disclosures in an interview in Accra with the GNA monitored by MyNewsGh.com.

According to him, the LPG government “would identify cash and food crops in each constituency and provide hybrid seedlings to farmers for cultivation.”

He also added there will be “boards for the various cash crops, including cotton, sugarcane and oil palm and organise farmers into cooperatives, and provided with hybrid seedlings”.

In an earlier interview, Mr. Ameka said an LPG administration would enact laws to stop the wrong usage of Marijuana and educate people about the economic benefits the nation could derive from the herb.

Mr Amekah noted that countries that legalised the usage of Marijuana were raking-in millions of dollars in export and it was high time Ghana took a cue from it and followed suit.

In consonance with LPG’s industrial revolution agenda, the National Chairman of the Party said it would grow more bamboo plants and use them for manufacturing household items such as tables, beds, spoons and bicycles.
