Dr. Kwame Asah Asante, Senior Political Science Lecturer of the University of Ghana, has called on the Akufo-Addo goverment to include in its manifesto the construction of museums for Presidents of Ghana.

The ruling New Patriotic Party led by President Nana Akufo-Addo launched its 2020 manifesto on Saturday, August 22, 2020 in Cape Coast, Central Region.

The manifesto captured the President's 2016 campaign promises which have been executed and those at various stages of completion as well as new promises for next four years if re-elected during this year's elections.

Among the new promises are the construction of an airport and a new harbour in Cape Coast, provision of free Wi-Fi for all schools, granting opportunities for students to access loans without a guarantor, establishing a scheme to enable young graduates acquire affordable apartments and to set up a Creative Arts Fund for the Creative Arts Industry.

The President is hopeful of victory in the elections as he believes his track record speaks volumes.

Speaking to host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo'', Dr. Kwame Asah Asante noted that one significant intiative that will help sell the good virtues of the country is the establishment of musuems.

According to him, the museums will serve as a tourist attraction and generate revenues for the tourism sector and the country at large.

Dr. Asah Asante was particularly concerned with building museums to show monuments as well as give historic accounts of previous and successive Presidents and Vice Presidents.

The purpose of the museums, he stated, is to educate generations about the Heads of State in the history of Ghana.

"We should have museums for our past Presidents like the late President John Evans Atta Mills, Jerry John Rawlings, J.A Kufour, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah, Dr. Hilla Limann . . . We have to build a museum for all our Presidents," he said.
