NDC report: NDC is a visionless party- Akua Donkor

-

 

The Founder and Leader of Ghana Freedom Party (GFP), Maame Akua Donkor has called the Executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as visionless people.

According to her, they should be ashamed for proposing the appointment of Commissioners of the Electoral Commission (EC) to be subjected to parliamentary approval.

The National Democratic Congress (NDC), is proposing the appointment of Commissioners of the Electoral Commission (EC) to be subjected to parliamentary approval.

This is part of the opposition party’s over thirty proposed recommendations for electoral reforms.

But Maame Akua Donkor speaking in an angry tone said, the Executives have collapsed the NDC party with their timid mind.

She added that, the NDC during 2012 never proposed any reform hence the need for them to stay away.

Akua Donkor bodly declared that, her Party, GFP is bigger than the NDC.

 The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it did not submit its proposals for electoral reforms to the Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) because the Committee is problematic.

The party has outlined 34 Electoral reforms after it boycotted an Electoral Commission (EC) led efforts towards reforms.

The party says it wants the appointment of EC chairperson to have prior approval of Parliament whilst insisting the voting period of 7:00 am to 5:00 pm on Election Day is maintained.

General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, aka, General mosquito speaking to the media said, they have been discussing these proposals at IPAC, but now one of the problems is the IPAC itself.

According to him, “The IPAC itself needs to be fixed. So you don’t go discussing a problem in a problematic forum. That is why we have to reach out to other stakeholders.”

This is necessary, according to the opposition party’s chief scribe, because “the EC, apart from touting its independence and all that, they themselves have demonstrated that they need input from outside stakeholders before they will be able to do their work.”

To the Editor,

To the Editor, Why I didn’t show up for the morning news production on Monday On that fateful day (Monday, April 4 th 2022) I was preparing to come and produce the morning news despite the heavy rainfall and lack of electricity in my area. I was ready to come around 4:30am when my father ordered me to wait due to crime rate in my area and especially such an ungodly hour. From where l stay, I have to board a taxi to the main road before getting a car to work but unfortunately, there was no car at the time I arrived there around 5:10am because of the rain and lack of electricity. I had no other option than to wait because I might be attacked if I decided to walk to the main road that’s why I couldn’t get here on time to produce to morning news. Thank you                                     ...
