Nduom goes painting

My Dearest Patriotic friend,

We are months away from a general election, months from a historic choice which will decide our country’s direction. That choice in my view is simple; 27 years of P/NDC – NPP (mis) rule or CPP. Same old tired P/NDC – NPP verses a revitalised CPP.


newCPP, NEW Ghana will form the basis of the manifesto on which the CPP will fight the election. To me it is not a policy compendium. It will not be CPP’s last word, rather it lays the foundation for the new Ghana CPP is seeking to build. It is about people, about their lives, about dreams shattered by the feckless regimes of P/NDC – NPP, it is about peoples hopes and fears. The principles underlying the document when read would be very familiar to CPP activists in the past. It is a rediscovery of the essence of CPP. A Party that speaks up for the weak as well as the strong, a party that knows that an individual thrives best within a strong and a unified society, a Party that believes in standards basic a moral code. CPP has given our dear Country most of its greatest assets and achievements today but we lost touch with the people and some of our own basic beliefs. We lost elections, lost touch with our people and the only people to gain were the NDC and NPP.


So yes there has been a revolution inside our Party. We have rejected the worst of our past and rediscovered the best and in rediscovering the best we have made ourselves fit to face the future and fit to govern Ghana, the whole of Ghana in the long term interest of all. Dear reader, there is a big idea here. It is about creating a society that is genuinely One Nation in which the CPP seeks to realise the potential of all Ghanaians.


newCPP NEW GHANA puts the CPP where it belongs, as the Party of all the people. That is the divide in Ghanaian politics, (P) NDC/ NPP that runs Ghana in the short term interest of a few at the top and a new CPP that will govern Ghana for us all. Amma Ghana, a CPP government would want you to send your child to a state school that is as good as any private school, to be treated at a hospital that is a good and staffed properly if not better than what you can buy privately. CPP wants you not to just have a job but a career with prospects and a decent pay. Constituent with the high services you need, CPP believes that you should be able to keep as much of the money you earn, save and spend as and when you feel like it. CPP wants a Ghana that holds its head high in Africa, the world a country that other countries take notice positively. CPP’s pledge to you is that nothing will stand in its way in achieving those aims by the best method possible, no special or privileged interests, no outdated thinking, no government bureaucracy. The CPP is seeking make the good that is in the heart of each of us serve the good of all Ghanaians. CPP intends to give to our country the gift of our energy, our ideas, our hopes, our talents. CPP intends to use them to build a country of whose people will say that "I care about Ghana because I know that Ghana cares about me". Ghana, head and heart, can be unbeatable. That is the Ghana CPP is offering. That is the Ghana that together can be ours.

The CPP would like to invite you all, especially, Patriotic Ghanaians living in London and its environs to a Dinner Dance cum Road show at NORTHUMBERLAND PARK SCHOOL, TRULOCK ROAD, LONDON N17 OPG, on the 4th of APRIL 2008 from 7pm to 1am.

Come so that together we share ideas on how to realise money from the Ghana Health Service bureaucracy into front line services such as treating Patients, how best to keep the JSS / SSS principle but modernising it to take account of different abilities, how we can strike a balance in University funding between public subsidy and private contributions. How best we can open and support Ghanaian business abroad and promote fairness at work. The criminal justice system desperately needs overhauling also a taxation and expenditure system where we are spending less on government, its functionaries and more investment for the future.
