The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, has cautioned politicians against resorting to lies and deception as a means to gain and maintain political power.

In his weekly thought-provoking video series titled "Arise for Ghana," the General Secretary advised politicians to prioritize the interests of Ghana above their party affiliations.

While the message was primarily directed at the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) in light of their performance over the past seven years, Fifi Kwetey also reminded the NDC not to follow a similar path when they assume power.

Ending Deceptive Politics

Fifi Kwetey called on the youth to hold public officials accountable and urged political leaders to put an end to the practice of deceptive politics.

He stated, “the Politics of empty sloganeering, the politics of deliberately lying, knowing very well that what is being said is not true must come to an end”.

Instead, he advocated for "the politics of taking responsibility," emphasizing that this approach is crucial for effective leadership in Ghana.

Fifi further stressed the NDC's belief that remaining in power should not rely on falsehood, deception, hypocrisy, or misleading the public.

A Call to the Youth

He encouraged the youth to rise up and demand that both major political parties abandon the politics of falsehood while reiterating the NDC's commitment to principled politics.

"Arise for Ghana," a weekly video series that provides a platform for candid discussions with well-meaning Ghanaians, is available on Fifi Kwetey's social media pages every Tuesday.
