Former chief of staff of the John Kufuor-led administration, Kwadwo Mpiani, has said the conduct of officials of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) will determine if they will be able to win the 2024 election.
Kwadwo Mpiani made these comments when he was interviewed on Citi TV.
He claimed the level of indiscipline and other wrongful behaviour among party and government officials should be checked immediately in order to safeguard the party’s agenda of winning the 2024 elections.
He stated that the President was doing well but there are a few problems he has to solve.Â
He also said the President should check the behaviour of all his appointees.Â
“He is doing well. There are a lot of problems, no doubt about that. What I want to him do is to ensure attitudinal change, starting from the government to the average Ghanaian. He must look at that critically. If he is able to do that, a lot of our problems will be solved,†he surmised.
Kwadwo Mpiani stated the abuse of the use of sirens by some top government officials as one of the behaviours he expects the President to check.
“He must check the approach to governance and behaviour to the society. For instance, this abuse of sirens, I find it to be indiscipline.
“We were not doing that. Unless there is a function, and you are late, then you can seek permission to do that. I wrote to some regional ministers who, we were told, go to work every day with sirens. I wrote to them that it must be stopped and stopped immediately,†he said.
He suggested that the NPP should work hard and ensure discipline among top officials in order to guarantee their victory in 2024.Â
He also shared his opinion on the unemployment situation in the country and urged the government to address it immediately.
He said the issue of unemployment will be a major factor in the coming election.
“It is possible to Break the 8 depending on how we carry ourselves between now and the next election in 2024. We need to check the indiscipline, work hard and address unemployment,†he stated.
