Private legal practitioner, Lawyer Charles Amoh Darteh, has said that the country needs a businessman as President.
Buttressing his point, he noted that for someone to run series of businesses successfully, then managing the resources of the country wouldn’t be sort of a big deal.
“Therefore, the best person to lead the NPP into the 2024 elections and subsequently become the President of Ghana, is the honourable Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong. When the country is run as a business, definitely government’s expenditure will be controlled”, he told Kwaku Dawuro on Movement in the morning show.
According to him, God has blessed Ghana with everything the country needs to progress and live beyond aid- however, the big question is how is the country managing its resources?
“Are we running it like a business. Because, when a businessman runs the country, he or she will do so like how they run their business and therefore will ensure that the government’s expenditure is controlled. Every business minded person always considers three key things in running their business: customer satisfaction, shareholders and their profits”, he elaborated.
Adding that “therefore, if you have a businessman who knows how to manage resources and runs the country as a business, definitely, the revenue shortfalls, we always lament about will be rectified. What we need now as a country is someone who has successfully run series of businesses as our leader and knows how to manage resources- and that person is Kennedy Agyapong”.
He urged executives of the party to ensure a free, fair and transparent elections as far as the primaries are concerned.
