Nana Kwame Bediako – Ghana’s Youngest Presidential Aspirant and Founder of the New Force Movement promises Ghanaian workers better working conditions as a means to curb corruption

Ghana’s current youngest but most promising Presidential Aspirant, Nana Kwame Bediako (fondly called Cheddar) met with the leadership and members of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) yesterday Thursday 23rd May 2024 to share his vision for workers in Ghana if he is elected president of the Republic of Ghana come December 7, 2024 when Ghana will be holding her elections.

The Founder of the New Force Movement, Nana Kwame Bediako, has been touring the length and breadth of Ghana sharing his unique transformative visions for Ghana with the citizenry of Ghana. He spoke to the membership of the Trades Union Congress (TUC) that he would push for better working conditions for Ghana’s workers to curb corruption if he is elected President at the December polls.

He said once the government paid workers fair salaries and created more jobs that had at least 20 to 30 years lifespan, no worker would want to risk his or her job for any bribe.

In his words, “Once you start to give value and people know they work for GH¢8,000 or GH¢10,000 that pays their rent, children’s fees, fuel, and car, they will never want to lose that GH¢10,000,” he said.

Speaking during an engagement with the leadership and staff of the TUC in Accra yesterday, Mr Bediako said: “Now that workers are earning only GH¢1,000 or GH¢2,000, it is a do-or-die for them and their families.”

“Because the worker cannot survive, he does not care to lose his job because a crazy man does not care because he is crazy,” he said. 

The engagement allowed the New Force Movement founder to espouse his policies and vision for Ghana once he is elected the President.

We’re promoting corruption

Nana Bediako said corruption existed in Africa mainly because most workers did not enjoy better working conditions. He said contrary to what pertained in Africa, once one exited the African continent “you do not hear corruption”.

“In other parts of the world, I think they use more of the word ‘deception’, and once there is deception, you are charged and you are going to prison. “In Africa, corruption is free because when you are wrong, they take you to the police station and the policeman will agree with you on how to move forward. So what we are doing is encouraging people, and this starts from the top,” he said.

Accomplishments  

He argued that until Ghanaians began to have accountable and responsible leaders, and the people held leaders accountable for their stewardship, corruption would continue to fester.

“Until Ghanaians ask their leaders where is the money and the resources, and what their taxes are doing for them, corruption will never leave us because it is like a disease that has no cure.”

Highlighting some of his accomplishments, Mr Bediako said as a young leader, who just turned 44 years old, he had put together a team of experts and had successfully built so many projects.

He said he had already created an industrial hub that would create well-paying jobs and generate billions of dollars. “So, whether the government or the country likes or does not love me, I love you and I do not need your permission or consent.”

“I will do it for you one way or another because I have the template, and this is what happens in the world when they gave chances to people like Rockefeller, Andrew Kennedy, and Henry Ford who built America,” he said.

Nana Kwame Bediako is one different breed of leaders and a presidential hopeful who brings a whole different vision feel and leadership style to the presidential race in Ghana.

The youth in Ghana absolutely love him. We at Global African Times wish him all the best in the presidential race.
