A flag bearer hopeful of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwabena Agyei Agyepong, has pledged to run a lean, effective and efficient government to reduce waste in the public sector if given the mandate the lead the party.
A lean government, he said, will ensure his administration delivers on its mandate to Ghanaians.
He reiterated the need to impose order and discipline, compliance with regulations, Quality Control and Quality Assurance in public financial transactions.
Kwabena Agyei Agyepong said these when he took his campaign to Parliament House for a meeting with the NPP parliamentary caucus last Wednesday.

According to him, the NPP can retain power if the internal elections are conducted in a spirit of fairness, equity and respect for the party’s code of conduct, ridding it of manipulation, coercion and favouritism.
He urged the Parliamentary caucus and the national executive to ensure those principles are observed.
The former General Secretary said he will be a decisive leader who will rejuvenate the party’s base and recreate the necessary enthusiasm for the grassroots to deliver the elusive third consecutive victory to the party in 2024.
The NPP, he said, needs a new era of thinking, a new dimension and a new direction, and re-echoed his vision for the creation of a new dawn on the nation’s political landscape.
“I have the right experience, skill set and character to lead the party if given the mandate by the delegates,” he said.
He assured the MPs he would work closely with Parliament to introduce a cap of nine on the Supreme Court (SC) as well as ensure the removal of the provision of the country’s laws that require judges to compulsorily retire from the SC bench at age 70.
Present at the event was the leadership of the group, including the Majority Leader, Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu; First Deputy Speaker, Joseph Osei-Owusu; Majority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh; Deputy Majority Chief Whip, Lydia Alhassan, and several cabinet ministers.
