Nana Kwame Bediako, Presidential Candidate for the New Force Party, has voiced deep concern about the pervasive poverty, hardship, and hopelessness he observed during his nationwide tour of all 276 constituencies. In a State of the Nation address titled “The Real State of the Nation,” delivered on Saturday, November 30, Mr. Bediako painted a stark picture of the challenges confronting Ghanaian's and criticized the nation's leadership for neglecting its people.
“I have discovered more poverty, pain, struggle, pollution, and hopelessness during this trip,” he lamented. “Our leaders have not invested in the people or their constituencies. This realization has not disheartened me but has instead inspired me to recognize the urgent work we must do to address these issues.”
During his speech, Mr. Bediako emphasized the dire state of many communities, citing widespread underdevelopment, lack of basic amenities, and limited opportunities for economic growth. He stressed that these conditions are symptoms of a deeper problem: a failure of leadership to prioritize the needs of the people. According to him, the neglect stems from a disconnect between government officials and their constituents, perpetuated by policies that fail to produce tangible benefits for ordinary Ghanaian's.
One of his sharpest criticisms was directed at Members of Parliament (MPs), whom he accused of enacting laws that have little impact on the everyday lives of their constituents. He argued that this legislative detachment has contributed significantly to the stagnation and underdevelopment of the constituencies they are meant to serve.
