Open Letter to anybody who wants to be President of Ghana in January 2025 – Prof Frimpong-Boateng

The present 4th Republic, dominated by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party  (NPP), has not brought the transformational change that will put the country on the path of sustainable development and prosperity for its people.

I personally believe that the  country can make progress when we get leaders who exhibit the qualities in the examples that follow.

They knew full well that they were  committing treason against England and they knew the penalty was death.

I expect anyone who wants to lead this country to tell the nation now how things are going to be  done differently so that young people would begin to have hope and stake in this country.

Our leaders have devalued themselves to the extent that they think only foreigners can help us out  of our misery.

Rather the success of true leadership is measured by what extent the  people can be mobilized to lead independent lives: to feed, shelter, clothe, heal, and defend  themselves, and also produce tools, implements, spare parts and machines they require for daily  living, so that if for one reason or the other ships and airplanes are unable to access the country the  citizens can stand on their own and survive.

This asset has  been and still is being squandered through misgovernment and corruption to the extent that leaders  are not trusted and citizens do not see that they have a stake in their country and its future.
