Christabel Adomako Kye
Famous film and content producer Christabel Adomako Kye, who ran unsuccessfully in the National Democratic Congress (NDP) presidential primary, has called on Ghanaians to band together and work together to build a better nation.
She asserts that our constitution is a dynamic text that has to update to reflect societal shifts. Examining it is essential to bolstering our democracy and guaranteeing that our legislative, executive, and judicial branches operate autonomously without fear of misuse.
Speaking at a press conference, Christabel Adomako Kye stated that in order to accomplish this, “we must empower institutions like the Police Council, Electoral Commission, and Judiciary and place qualifications above political affiliations.”
She also added that “it’s time to strengthen local authorities and encourage public participation in shaping policies and reviewing our Constitution.”
According to her, responsibility, openness, and respect for the law are necessary for good administration.
She stressed that when our leaders fail to fulfill their duties, we must hold them responsible and demands that they prioritize the needs of the people over their own interests.
It is our responsibility to carry on our predecessors’ heritage of fighting for our independence by creating a country in which we can all take pride.
She said that in order to safeguard Ghana’s future, the government should mandate sports in schools in order to encourage productivity, health, and more responsible citizenship.
She also suggested that reviving “Operation Feed Yourself” and settling land disputes can boost food production and improve our rural communities.
In order to stabilize our currency and ease economic pressures, she asked all political parties vying for the 2024 election to implement policies that will lower fuel taxes.
To promote economic growth, there should be accessible highways, particularly those that connect rural areas to big cities.
“We need to support young women pursuing higher education and vocational training, and we need to create alternative businesses for more job opportunities,” she continued.
Water contamination requires immediate attention. Sustainable mining regulations are necessary to stop pollution and promote reforestation. Restoring our natural resources is crucial, and our water sources need to be returned to their healthy, natural form using the appropriate chemicals and methods.
She noted that violent elections have been common in recent years, so there is a need for a forum to encourage everyone involved—especially the youth and electorate—to embrace peace.
Insisting that Ghana cannot change if its peace is jeopardized, she urged the media to use their enormous platform to spread the word about their programs.
She exhorted Ghanaian women to overcome intimidation and unite for advancement. Since women and children are most impacted by conflict, we must put peace first and stick together.
She expressed her gratitude to God, the President, and Parliament for passing the Affirmative Action Bill, which marked a significant turning point in our quest for equality.
Let us support women in the workplace, empower girls at home and in school, and raise our voices in every institution, neighborhood, and house of worship. Together, we must uphold this law and clear the path for healthy and peaceful Ghana.
