Dr Nduom to use Ghana-made limousine as President

Juapong (V/R), July 22, GNA - The presidential aspirant of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP), Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, has said his official car as president would be a locally made limousine. He said he would sign a contract with mechanics to provide him with that car on becoming President in 2009.

Dr Nduom, who was addressing party activists on Monday, said a CPP government would demonstrate its belief in the Ghanaian.

Dr Ndoum said the country has the requisite manpower, skills and know-how to produce the most sophisticated machines for domestic use and exports when the right support and incentives are given by the state. He said his government would make it mandatory for local content to reflect in all aspects of state sponsored activities as a means of showcasing the Ghanaian personality and encouraging local enterprise. Dr Nduom said a CPP government would rediscover and promote the long lost Ghanaian confidence and personality.

He said the CPP was waging "a hi-tech and guerrilla political campaign using the brain" which would catch the principal parties napping. Dr Nduom said some of the media did not seem to be interested in the CPP's campaign but that would not wish away the surprise package the party has up its sleeves.
