The flagbearer of the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Nana Frimpomaa Sarpong Kumankuma, has announced a strategic focus on human capital investment as a cornerstone for Ghana’s development.
In her proposal, each Ghanaian would be entitled to GH₵20,000 in shares, which would be allocated not as cash but as a stake in state enterprises, farms, and businesses.
This initiative aims to foster partnerships between the government and citizens, empowering Ghanaians to co-own national assets and actively participate in the country’s economic growth.
“Every Ghanaian will be given GH ₵20,000 as your shares. It is not money that you are going to take and put in your pocket but it is money that will give you rights to the businesses, the state farms and the state enterprises.
“It is not going to be the now government fully-owned enterprises, it would be a partnership between government and the citizens but you will be empowered,” she said on JoyNews AM show.
She further explained that, if granted the political mandate, this initiative would be implemented through the local government system.
This approach ensures that each individual receives their share directly from their local government, enhancing community involvement and accountability.
