Zilla Limann,
daughter of former President Dr Hilla Limann, has bemoaned the lack of a
national agenda to propel the nation’s growth and development and alleged that
the nation is still marking time due to lack of leadership clear cut agenda or
plan to be followed by successive political parties.
She insisted that the nation lacked an agenda by
successive governments to propel growth and development but the nature of
leadership over the years was thwarting the nation’s growth and development
agenda.
Zilla
Limann, the daughter of Ghana’s third President
Dr Hilla Limann, who ruled Ghana from September 24, 1979 to December 31, 1981,
maintained that “I definitely think that we should have a national agenda and a
national plan because from what we’ve seen in the past, how many years, all we
see is one political party takes over, they have all these great agenda and
plans they want to undertake, they commence them, another party takes over and
the agenda and plans are all thwarted.
“New agenda and plans begin again so we don’t
move, we are marking time, we go forward, we come back, we go forward, the only
key for growth and development is an agenda and plans that will be followed by
all political parties.
“If we have a national agenda and national plans,
it doesn’t matter which party is in power, there is always a national agenda
and national plans we are following, a government commences an agenda, plans
and the next government continues so that we will move forward as a nation,” Ms
Limann lamented.
While she had no plans and agenda of following
her late father’s footsteps, she narrated that growing up and being a victim of
politics, it had never been an agenda and plan for her to engage in politics
and never thought about it.
“But right now where we are, looking at our
country as a whole, now realising that Ghana is ours, the way certain issues
churn out, you just can’t fathom why issues happen the way they do, I have had
the urge to venture into politics, however, one of my siblings is venturing
into it,” Ms Limann disclosed. -3news.com
