Accra, Sept 15, GNA - The Member of Parliament for Akuapim North, Mr Ransford Daniel Adu, has said the government had turned the economy of the country round against all odds and would do more if given the nod in Election 2008.

He said the government had done "tremendously well" to move the country forward in its quest to attain a middle-income status and was doing more to achieve the millennium development goals by 2015. Mr Adu said this during his visit to Adukrom, the district capital of his constituency in the Eastern Region, and interacted with the people. He said the government was working hard to improve the economy, provide employment for the youth, affordable health care, and security to the people.

Mr Adu said his eight years in office as the MP for the area had seen development projects such as schools, assisting women groups, roads and supporting brilliant but needy students in the area. He said the eight years of the NPP in government had been a time of clearing the system of all cobwebs for the laying of development foundation blocks and it needed another term to be able to finish the good works it had started.

Mr Adu said there would not be "cheap money" in the system as it used to be and "that is what our opponents are complaining about". He advised NPP candidates varying for the presidential slot to contest the 2008 presidential elections "to take it easy and not to be too aggressive".

Mr Adu said attacking each other was not the best way to go about things. "It is a family game".

He appealed to all Ghanaians irrespective of party affiliations to support the good works the government was doing and help build a prosperous nation.
