Many of today?s youth are probably aware that the CPP fought and won independence for Ghana in 1957.

Many however are not aware of the CPP?s achievements in building Ghana and
making it what it is today - How the CPP created jobs in every region to provide full employment for our people.

How the CPP?s Development Plans almost turned Ghana into an industrialised
country .


The following is thus a small sample to educate the youth of Ghana as part of
the CPP?s ?YES? Campaign

liberated and independent.

This and many more is what has shaped our country to be what it is today, and
all with foreign exchange reserves of just $480m.

Ghana has accumulated a debt of $7billion in the last 25 years and what has been achieved with it .

Today if you complete your SSS or University education anywhere in the country
there is nothing in your region for you, you travel to Accra, become a street
hawker, get disillusioned, find a passport or Visa contractor and heard towards
London, Amsterdam, Washington. What a waste.

There is no sense in following the same path we have been on since the CPP.


For the CPP everyone counts and no one must be left behind and that is why only
the CPP path can put Ghana back on track.

That is why the CPP wants to re-introduce a 7 Year Development Plan for Ghana.


Compare our record with any other Party, it is a record second to none.
