The Member of Parliament (MP) for Obuasi West, Kwaku Kwarteng, has emphasized the importance of political leaders prioritizing Ghana's development.

During an interview on Tuesday, July 30, 2024, he expressed his concerns about the current political climate in the country.

He noted that people often support the actions of political parties, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.

Kwarteng highlighted that nationalism should be a fundamental principle for all political leaders.

"Being nationalistic and advocating for the future of the country is also politics, and that's how I believe politics should be. What we often refer to as politics is not necessarily what politics should be," Kwarteng is quoted as saying by citinewsroom.com.

He pointed out that the current state of Ghana is not solely due to the actions or inactions of the current government but rather a result of the historically incorrect path the country has been on, especially in terms of managing the economy.

Kwarteng concluded by saying, "I think we have reached a point where we all need to ask ourselves if we want a country or if we want politics."
