The presidential aspirant of the Progressive Alliance for Ghana (PAG), Dr. John Kpikpi, has unveiled a bold and comprehensive national blueprint designed to reverse Ghana’s economic decline and usher in an era of inclusive and sustainable prosperity.

Speaking to Ghanaians in the United States as part of his international outreach tour, Dr. Kpikpi outlined PAG’s development vision anchored on five major transformations — in agriculture, industry, natural resources, infrastructure, and ethics — describing them as the “pillars of Ghana’s rebirth.”

Dr. Kpikpi announced that under a PAG government, Ghana will achieve self-sufficiency in rice and poultry production within three years, drastically cutting import dependence and creating jobs.
“Our goal is simple,” he said.

“We must feed ourselves, employ our people, and keep Ghana’s money in Ghana.”

The second pillar focuses on industrialisation and local manufacturing.
Dr. Kpikpi stressed the need to shift from an import-driven economy to a production-based one, with emphasis on both basic and high-tech manufacturing.
“We cannot continue importing what we can make. Ghana must build, Ghana must produce,” he declared, promising incentives for local industries and technology start-ups.

Addressing resource governance, Dr. Kpikpi lamented decades of foreign dominance in Ghana’s extractive industries.
PAG’s policy, he explained, will prioritise local ownership, management, and beneficiation of gold, oil, and other resources.
“We will train and empower Ghanaians to manage our resources so that the wealth of this land benefits every citizen, not outsiders,” he stated.

The fourth transformation targets modern, efficient, and accessible infrastructure across transportation, energy, and digital networks.
Dr. Kpikpi argued that no country can achieve lasting growth without a solid infrastructural base.
“Our roads, energy systems, and communication networks must be redesigned to serve business, education, and community life,” he said.

At the heart of the PAG agenda lies an ethical revolution to rebuild trust in public institutions.
Dr. Kpikpi pledged to foster a culture of honesty, discipline, and transparency, calling corruption the “greatest obstacle to Ghana’s progress.”
“We will nurture ethical leadership and restore public confidence in government — this is the moral foundation of a prosperous Ghana,” he emphasised.

Beyond economic transformation, Dr. Kpikpi addressed the need for deep political reforms, warning against the corrosive influence of money in elections.
He proposed a decentralised governance structure to empower local communities and promote accountability.

The aspirant also outlined plans to collaborate with religious bodies, educational institutions, and traditional leaders to promote ethical citizenship. He hinted at reviewing the current 16-region administrative structure to create smaller, more efficient governance units.

Dr. Kpikpi revealed that PAG’s five-point vision will be implemented through specialised task forces, cooperative networks, and strategic partnerships — mechanisms designed to ensure transparency, performance tracking, and measurable outcomes.

“The five powerful transformations will secure Ghana’s wealth and reinvest it into healthcare, education, housing, social welfare, and leisure for every Ghanaian,” he said, urging citizens to rally behind the movement.

Concluding his address, Dr. Kpikpi issued a rallying call for unity and purpose:
“With collective effort, discipline, and integrity, we can rebuild Ghana into a nation of shared prosperity and justice for all.”
