Better Ghana is possible — Baku

ACCRA— Ms. Edith Dzigbordi Baku, has expressed optimism that Ghana can overcome its challenges and build a better future for its citizens.

Baku said this in a statement in which she urged Ghanaians to confront the truth about the country’s challenges and potential, stressing that a new chapter for Ghana was possible.

She said Ghana’s progress required more than promises and political speeches, but demanded clear vision, knowledge, practical solutions, investment, integrity, courage and leadership that placed the interests of citizens first.

According to her, the ideas and vision needed to transform the country were available, alongside the determination to invest in people, create opportunities, strengthen communities and build the Ghana citizens had long envisioned.

Baku said meaningful transformation could be achieved through God’s grace, responsible leadership, hard work, accountability and the collective determination of Ghanaians.

“Tell them the truth: A better Ghana is possible. A new Ghana is our choice. And the change we have been waiting for is coming,” she said.

She urged Ghanaians to believe in the possibility of a better country and remain committed to building a Ghana where opportunities and development would benefit all citizens.

Baku said the country’s development should be measured by improvements in the lives of ordinary citizens, including farmers, young graduates, traders, teachers, nurses, drivers, fishermen and small-business owners.

She also called for greater accountability in governance, saying political leaders must be open to scrutiny and citizens should have the freedom to question how public resources were being utilised.

She said Ghana’s development should not be treated as the property of any political party, stressing the need for continuity in projects and policies that served the national interest.

“Ghana must come before party,” she said.

Baku also advocated practical solutions to the country’s challenges, including improved healthcare and education, support for farmers, job creation and greater opportunities for young people and businesses.

She said her vision was for a Ghana where children from poor families could pursue their dreams, farmers could live with dignity, young people could access opportunities without political connections, and women could build successful businesses.

Baku urged Ghanaians to reject political division, abandoned projects and unfulfilled promises and embrace what she described as a politics of service, integrity, development and results.

She expressed confidence that a better Ghana could be built through collective effort, truth and responsible leadership.
