The Presidential candidate for the United Front Party (UFP), Dr Nana Agyenim Boateng has vowed to make retrieval of Ghana’s embezzled funds from the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo’s government a matter of urgency when he is voted to power in the December 7 elections.

The leader of the opposition party who spearheaded the Concern Youth of Asanteman disclosed that he knows where monies borrowed by the current New Patriotic Party government is hence his decision to retrieve currencies given by the World Bank which have been misappropriated.

“In the first year of our administration, we’ll make sure to retrieve every stolen penny from the NPP government for development,” he said.

“I know where Ghana’s stolen funds are and will locate it when given the chance. The Akufo Addo’s administration has borrowed more than any past government yet there is nothing monumental he has done. So the question is where are the monies borrowed and what did he use to do? We will reclaim them,” he assured.

The UFP on Tuesday, October 7, 2020, outdoor the party’s manifesto to Ghanaians ahead of the upcoming elections in the capital of the Ashanti Region at the Golden Bean Hotel.

Briefing the press after the program, Dr Nana Agyenim Boateng disclosed that UFP has plans that Ghanaians can benefit immensely but can only start with implementations when voted to rule the country.

Among the various areas which need strengthening, the presidential candidate asserted that majority of road infrastructures in Ghana are deprived which curtails societal development and mobility. He assured that bitumen constructed roads will be put to an end and the use of bricks for Ghanaians roads will be employed addressing that the creation of bricks is a source of employment to the youth and will make roads enduring.

“We want to build better roads for Ghana, unlike the shoddy roads the current government is building.

"Pavement bricks is one of the long-lasting ideologies we have discovered to make a road last. During heavy sunshine, the bitumen can fade therefore creating the pavement bricks can provide employment for our youth in terms of job creation."

On Agriculture, he was quick to criticize the government’s methodology to import the majority of Ghana’s provisions from other countries instead of empowering farmers to produce locally made goods. He stressed that the health of citizens is at risk due to the unfavourable compost used to season foods for the consummation by Ghanaians and advised that his party is aimed at carrying out healthier agricultural decisions to sustain citizens’ life.

“We’ll empower the farming system and focus on producing locally made foods. Majority of our consumables are imported. We have been endowed with good weather climate than Burkina Faso yet we import tomato from Burkina. What is the job of the crop research institution? If we have managed to set up the COCOBOD, why don’t we have the vegetable board to manage them also? he added.

Nana Agyenim Boateng finally underlined that education in Ghana is in poor shape for the reason that native language of students has been banned; an application which impedes the youth from having a full understanding of the knowledge in order to fully impart it.

“UFP will do our best to introduce the local languages to school and make it the primary language. It is the reason why the western world is actively functioning because they speak their native language. We cannot always rely on the white man’s language to build our society. There is no sense in it. How can we deny our students grades when they fail English language exams? We will abolish all the mental slaveries of language and free our students

"Sometimes I feel pity when they call KNUST as A Science and Technology University. Where is the technology? I visited China about five years ago and saw class six people constructing “aboboyaa” and you can get professors who cannot assemble it. Is it not sad? And go to Suame magazine, they have natural talents there, cant the government assist them?

“We need to have our own production, as time goes on, it will be technology that will help Ghana,” he said.
