Flagbearer of the Convention People's Party (CPP), Nana Akosua Frimpomaa Sarpong Kumankumah, has emphasised the party's focus on addressing the needs of Ghanaians through a more accessible approach to governance.
In a recent interview on JoyNews, she announced the CPP's plan to implement a 'Government For Your Doorstep Programme' as a way of shifting from the traditional top-down governance approach.
She noted that while Ghana has, arguably, one of the best decentralisation systems of governance, it has not been effectively implemented.
According to her, the proposed programme will give citizens direct access to governance.
"I will initiate a 'Government For Your Doorstep Programme', where you can walk to your government sector and make complaints. You can say your mind and anything that borders you. The people can walk there and have access to the governance. Government of the people, by the people, and for the people. That democracy is what we are bringing to the people", she explained.
Touching on youth development, she reaffirmed the CPP's commitment to address issues affecting the youth in the country, such as unemployment.
" For us in CPP, we believe in the youth of this nation, and Ghana must work to justify the struggles our fathers went through. It is about trying to let the country work for the youth.
"It is about the principles we believe in, to save this country, the level of frustration in this country is too much, The Ghanaian youth are struggling too much. National Service they are paying them less than 2,000 cedis. CPP is committed to help the youth of Ghana. They are the future. Our government will bring ownership to the youth, to Ghanaians," she added.
