No party has instant answer to economic problem – Braimah

Wa (Upper West) Naa Seidu Braimah Upper West Regional Chairman of the Progressive Voluntary Organisations has said that no political party has the magic wand to instantly take the country out of its current economic crisis.

He said Ghana's situation is a reflection of a world -wide phenomenon and " I find it difficult to understand when some people brag that given the chance they can change the economic trend in no time".

Naa Braimah made this observation when he addressed the regional congress of the Egle Party at Wa on Friday.

He said the NDC government has taken positive measures to stabilise the economy and called on party supporters to forge ahead in unity to ensure victory in the December general elections to enable the government to continue its programme.

He admonished those who say they will vote for the party's presidential candidate but not the parliamentary candidates because they disapprove of their nominations, to rescind their decision. He explained that without a parliamentary majority it would be almost impossible for the executive to function effectively.

Mr. Kwesi Monald, Regional Chairman of Egle assured the leadership of the progressive alliance that the party will use its influence to reconcile all the factions within the alliance to ensure total victory in the elections.
