According to him, the perception that most political parties are 'corrupt' and 'elitist' will not augur well for the country's development.
"I wish NDC will do something about this corrupt image of theirs. At the same time, I wish NPP will do something about this perception of being an arrogant elitist party.
"I would help any and every party to get rid of its weaknesses, so that someday when you are in that leadership position, the people can generally feel secure irrespective of which every party is in power. There must be lines you don't cross," he added.
