Wed, 24 Jul 2002 Source:  

President John Agyekum Kufuor on Tuesday evening said the victory of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the 2000 elections would not be complete without the transformation of the economy.

The President said this would only be possible when the private sector was fully recognised as the engine of economic growth. President Kufuor was speaking at a Dinner-Dance as part of activities marking the tenth anniversary of the NPP, in Accra. He noted that the ideology of the NPP, which makes the well being and progress of the individual its priority, now transcends all parties.

The President said the ideology prevented the party from collapsing while in opposition for almost 40 years. He urged Ghanaians to adopt the ideology, which has turned the world into a global village to ensure development.

He added that in spite of some difficulties, the government is doing its best to ensure that Ghanaians benefit from its tenure of office. The President urged Ghanaians to support the NPP, saying that it would help Ghana get out of its economic doldrums and steer it into the main stream of the advanced world. The climax of the month-long anniversary would be on August 24.
