Every One Counts, No One Must Be Left Behind - CPP

Many of today?s youth are probably aware that the CPP fought and won independence for Ghana in 1957.

Many however are not aware of the CPP?s achievements in building Ghana and

making it what it is today - How the CPP created jobs in every region to provide full employment for our people.

How the CPP?s Development Plans almost turned Ghana into an industrialised

country .

the CPP?s ?YES? Campaign

? Organisation of African Unity(OAU, now AU), with a progressive foreign

affairs policies. Which helped many other African countries to become free,

liberated and independent.

This and many more is what has shaped our country to be what it is today, and

all with foreign exchange reserves of just $480m.

Ghana has accumulated a debt of $7billion in the last 25 years and what has been achieved with it .

Today if you complete your SSS or University education anywhere in the country

there is nothing in your region for you, you travel to Accra, become a street

hawker, get disillusioned, find a passport or Visa contractor and heard towards

London, Amsterdam, Washington. What a waste.

There is no sense in following the same path we have been on since the CPP.

For the CPP everyone counts and no one must be left behind and that is why only

the CPP path can put Ghana back on track.

That is why the CPP wants to re-introduce a 7 Year Development Plan for Ghana.

Compare our record with any other Party, it is a record second to none.
