A presidential
aspirant of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Kofi Konadu Apraku
says he is the right person needed to rebuild Ghana.
Dr. Apraku
acknowledged the economic troubles the country is experiencing and argued he
has the expertise and skills needed to take the country back to its glory days.
Speaking
on The Point of View on Citi TV, the former Minister for Trade
and Industry in the John Agyekum Kufuor government said he has a sense of
responsibility to set in as president at these trying times to revamp the
country’s economy.
“I have been
blessed, and I feel a sense of responsibility and the strongest belief to serve
and build this nation. I have been placed in a position where I believe I have
had the opportunity to see countries go through difficult times and I have a
background in finance and economics and know how to turn things around.”
“I have had
practical experience in working with economies that were practically destroyed
such as in the case of Croatia after they separated from Yugoslavia and the
United Nations needed people to go there and rebuild the country after it was
devastated by the war, and I was one of the people that were selected. They
needed economists to begin a new plan and I went and I made my contributions
and that country is a strong economy today. The same thing happened in South
Africa after it gained independence, and it needed people to build it, I was
once again called, and I went there, and we strengthened the economy.”
Dr. Apraku and
some 9
other aspirants have been cleared for the NPP’s flagbearer contest.
