Former Secretary of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM), Charles Bissue, has endorsed New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer aspirant Kennedy Agyapong, describing him as the type of pragmatic and compassionate leader Ghana needs to achieve true transformation.<\/p>\n

Speaking on Citi FM on Thursday, September 11, Mr Bissue said Mr Agyapong\u2019s business background and strong grassroots appeal set him apart as a candidate capable of addressing Ghana\u2019s economic difficulties and reducing the country\u2019s reliance on international lenders such as the IMF and World Bank.<\/p>\n

\u201cI trust Kennedy Agyapong because he is driven by empathy and compassion. For too long, politics in Ghana has been about theories which in the end push us towards the IMF or World Bank. Those are matters we should have dealt with ourselves,\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n

He criticised Ghana\u2019s continued dependence on imports despite its rich natural resource base, stressing the need to shift towards industrialisation and value addition.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the resources we have, Ghana should be exporting finished products. Instead, we remain overly dependent on imports,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

According to him, Mr Agyapong\u2019s entrepreneurial record, coupled with his strong bond with ordinary Ghanaians, makes him a formidable contender who resonates with the electorate.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom what I see, many Ghanaians are saying, \u2018give us Kennedy, and we will vote for him,\u2019\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
