Wenchi (Brong Ahafo) -- Mr I. L. K. Mensah, a former Member of Parliament in the Second Republic now resident in the United Kingdom (UK) has expressed satisfaction that Ghana had achieved true democracy under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration.
The economy was picking up as inflation had gone down drastically and the cedi was now stable as compared to the situation under the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Mr Mensah, who was the MP for Bibiani-Ahwiaso-Sefwi-Bekwai in the Western Region was speaking to Ghana News Agency after laying a wreath on the tomb of Dr Kofi Abrefa Busia, Prime Minister in the Second Republic. The ex-MP, who described himself as a very good friend of the Prime Minister, commended the government for its efforts in road construction and electricity supply.
He, therefore, urged Ghanaians to support and co-operate with the government to put the economy in good shape to improve the living conditions of the people. Mr Mensah noted that under the leadership of President John Agyekum Kufuor, prices of goods "are stable". He called on Ghanaians abroad to visit home regularly to assist in the re-construction of the country.
