Retired Ghanaian leader H.E John Agyemang Kufuor says he feels bad about the growing political intolerance between the ruling government and opposition parties in Ghana.
He complained that the rate at which politicians were attacking one another using foul language particularly in the media was totally unacceptable and thereby called for cease fire to build a united Ghana.
“Though I subscribe to multi party opposition in our country: I equally think all inclusive governance is the best practice for governing Ghana today” he emphasized.
Retired President Kufuor made these comments during an exclusive interview with Citi News at the country side Pumba Lodge in Grahams Town of South Africa.
He maintained that the four years period for every Ghanaian leader was not enough and reiterated his earlier call for a constitutional amendment to make it five years.
This, H.E Kufuor noted will give subsequent government’s enough time to accomplish their development agenda if giving two consecutive terms to rule by the Ghanaian electorate.
He said the first three years of his Presidency were used to rehabilitate Ghana’s fragile economy which he inherited from his predecessor.
Answering the question why he reversed the NDC one vision 2020 to vision 2015, H.E Kufuor responded that he was convinced after assuming office he could use four years to complete his agenda which he anticipated would have salvaged Ghana’s economy better than the 19 years rule of H.E Jerry John Rawlings.
Talking about his office accommodation saga, he announced that a two bed room accommodation building has been allocated at Cantonments for that purpose but that he was using his pocket money to feed and pay his staff which he felt unfairly treated by government.
