The Convention People\u2019s Party (CPP) has said Ghana can only realize true development if it revisits some of the policies of Ghana\u2019s first President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah.<\/p>\n
Ghana, in recent years has been saddled with serious socio-economic challenges which are hindering the development of major sectors of the economy.<\/p>\n
Some have blamed the situation on the over politicization of critical national issues and the growing spate of corruption by public office holders which is impoverishing the populace.<\/p>\n
