Cheddar Policy for Ghana is Not a Vision but a Call to Action

Nana Kwame Bediako Cheddar has charged Ghanaians to lead the cause for Africa to regain its position on the global stage, Cheddar policy for Ghana is not a vision but a call for action.

Cheddar says this would be possible by creating a blueprint for the future which will surpass a vision to become “a call to action.”

The founder and leader of the New Force Cheddar says Ghana has gotten to a stage where “talking is no longer an option” but rather the need for “action” that is is “imperative and must be swift”.

According to Nana Kwame Bediako, those who have been left at the hem of affairs for the State over the years swindled the nation, likening them to the Bible thief whom Jesus Christ said only came to steal and destroy.

Cheddar has expressed the need to build Ghana and restore it to its heritage.

“In a country where a thief comes only to steal, kill and destroy, we stand resolute with a higher purpose to build our nation and restore our rightful heritage,” he said at the launch of his manifesto dubbed; ’12 Pillars for Economic Freedom’ Sunday, September 01, 2024.

“Cheddar policy for Ghana is not just a vision but a call to action. A blueprint for a future where Africa claims its place on the global stage, not as a continent rich in untapped potential but as a beacon of prosperity and progress,” he said in his introductory remarks during the manifesto launch.

Bediako is saying Ghana can harness its agrarian potential to match the Biblical Joseph who led Egypt to store more food and sell during the lean season.

As part of his Manifesto which he terms the ’12 Pillars for Economic Freedom’, launched Sunday, September 01, 2024, Nana Kwame Bediako, also known as ‘Cheddar’, explained the need for Ghana to have food abundant at all times.

He avers “There will come a time when food will be more important than the cash that buys it. If food runs out, cash will not be able to do anything.

“We intend to take advantage of our vast arable lands to establish a seeding bank that will give us food security for the next eighty years and create further cross-border plantations,” he explained.

According to him, “If Ivory Coast runs out of cocoa they will buy from us. If India needs food they will buy from us. This will make us like Joseph, feeding the seven years of famine because we have kept the reserves.”

Cheddar also highlighted keeping the natural reserves of the country such as cooper, gold, iron, bauxite and others, saying “All we have to do is keep extracting, keep creating jobs with the people and letting them have the chance to be able to bring these things out of the grounds and keep them as reserves.”

He explained that “whenever you refine any of these, or you plant any of these, the value can be from times five (5-times) to ten or fifteen. It quadruples, it triples, it multiplies.”

“I’ve been talking about food, I’ve been talking about gold reserves, I’ve been talking about food reserves, all these reserves are for the State, they are for the nation, this is what I call the real Agyapadeɛ because you need an equity of what belongs to you,” he added.

In his explanation, Cheddar indicated that as a nation, Ghana needs equity of what belongs to her by having a share of its natural endowments and creating jobs out of them.

He also reemphasized the need to develop knowledge of the country’s natural resources to be able to utilise them effectively.
