Published

on

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has announced a planned demonstration against the Electoral Commission over Voter register discrepancies.

This was revealed by the National Chairman of the party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia when he submitted John Dramani Mahama’s nomination at the commission today, September 9.

Speaking to the media, Mr.Asiedu Nketiah said, “On the 17th of this month [September], the NDC is embarking on a massive nationwide demonstration in all 16 regional capitals.”

He charged the party in other regions to “descend on the electoral commission officers and we in Accra will descend to the headquarters and present further petitions as to why we think that they should conduct themselves in a manner that will guarantee peaceful, free and fair election.”

The national chairman of the party revealed that on September 17, protesters will march to regional EC offices in all 16 regional capitals. Additionally, national executives will present a formal petition at the EC’s headquarters in Accra.

During the recent voter exhibition exercise, the NDC identified several irregularities in the register, and against this backdrop, the party requested an audience with the EC to express some concerns.

Following a meeting with the EC to address these concerns, the NDC requested a forensic audit of the register, which was denied by the EC.

    Gentlemen, diluted by a fair amount of empathy, rational thinking predetermines the high demand for further directions of development. There is something to think about: actively developing third world countries can be verified in a timely manner.

    Everyday practice shows that the innovative path we have chosen indicates the possibilities of distributing internal reserves and resources.

    As is commonly believed, many well -known personalities can be described as detailed as possible. In their desire to improve the quality of life, they forget that the boundary of the training of personnel allows you to complete important tasks to develop existing financial and administrative conditions.

    It is difficult to say why representatives of modern social reserves cover extremely interesting features of the picture as a whole, but specific conclusions, of course, have been subjected to a whole series of independent research. Here is a striking example of modern trends – semantic analysis of external oppositions involves independent ways of implementing forms of influence.

    Modern technologies have reached such a level that the conviction of some opponents implies independent ways of realizing favorable prospects. The clarity of our position is obvious: the new model of organizational activity entails the process of implementing and modernizing the rethinking of foreign economic policy.

According to him the role of the youth in the rebuilding exer­cise cannot be overemphasised, however, it was important that they do more if the party wants to recapture power in 2028.

Speaking at the Freshers’ Orien­tation and General Meeting of the College of Health and Well-Being branch of the Tertiary Students Confederacy (TESCON) of the NPP on campus over the weekend, Mr Agyapong expressed his pro­found gratitude to the students for their dedicated services and loyalty to the party over the years.

He assured TESCON of his support and pledge to ensure that their welfare was taken care of giv­en their role in youth mobilisation and projecting the ideals of the party on various platforms.

Mr Agyapong who is also a former aspirant of the flagbear­ership of the party donated an undisclosed amount of money to support the group’s activities and promised to fund activities of various TESCON branches across the country.

He subsequently called on senior members of the NPP and former government appointees to liaise with and work towards empower­ing TESCON to make the party more attractive on tertiary educa­tion campuses.

This he said would enhance the party’s acceptability among the youth.

He reiterated this commitment to the TESCON members of the University of Energy and Natu­ral Resources in Sunyani, Bono Region, on the same day.

In response to suggestions for increasing the voting rights of TESCON from two to five per in­stitution, he indicated his support for granting all TESCON execu­tives of all accredited TESCON institutions voting rights during the party’s national elections.

This he said would significantly enhance the participation of more youth in the internal processes of the party.

Additionally, he affirmed his support for the expansion of the electoral college of the Party to in­clude more members in a manner that protects the integrity of the Party’s structures.

Mr Agyapong explained that such a move would engender a sense of ownership, avert apathy and enhance democracy in and out of the party.

 Catholic Bishops acceptPres Mahama’s apology

 The Catholic Bishops’ Confer­ence has accepted the apology from President Mahama for the omission committed by way of delaying the clergy’s invitation to the National Education Forum, currently taking place at Ho, the Volta Regional capital.

The Vice President of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference, the Most Reverend Emmanuel Kofi Fianu, who made this known at the forum, expressed the church’s gratitude to the President and the Minister for Education for the sub­sequent invitation of the church to be part of the event.

He said the vital role education played in national development could not be overemphasised, which called for collaboration of stakeholders to promote quality education.

Most Rev. Fianu said the Cath­olic Church was not happy about some appointments and transfers to and from Catholic schools with­out recourse to the church, and wondered whether there existed partnership in the education sector.

He stressed that the dissemina­tion of information on educational matters without reaching out to a major stakeholder such as the Catholic Church was unacceptable.

Most Rev. Fianu lamented the unfriendly nature some education directors related to the Catholic Church, which according to him did not promote collaboration in the delivery of quality education.

He said that the over-popula­tion at second cycle schools which affected character formation, teacher-student ratio, teacher con­tact hours with individual students and proper supervision was of concern to the Catholic Bishops.

Most Rev. Fianu said the Cath­olic Church was against the use of its school compounds for struc­tural development without any engagement with the church.

On national issues, he con­demned the upsurge in social vices and corrupt practices in the country.

Most Rev. Fianu called for introduction of religious, moral, ethical and civic education that would lead to the production of responsible and productive citizens and not just knowledgeable and skillful individuals, who would become social misfit.

The President, on behalf of the Planning Committee of the National Education Forum said: “I’m aware that the omission was very speedily remedied, but you still deserve an unqualified apology for this oversight. And since you are the purveyors of God’s mercy on earth, I’m sure that you are forgiving us for this.”

President Mahama’s apology was in response to a joint state­ment issued in Accra by the Ghana Catholic Bishops’ Conference (GCBC) and the Christian Council of Ghana (CCG), expressing their disappointment in the government following their exclusion from the ongoing education forum.

The two bodies stated that even though the list of invitees to the national level stakeholders included some organisations that were affiliated to them, they as the parent bodies were excluded from the forum.

 Let’s separate politics from development —Prof. Agyeman-Duah

• Professor Agyeman-Duah

 Former United Nations Gover­nance Advisor, Professor Baffour Agyeman-Duah, has called for a clear separation between politics and national de­velopment to ensure development.

Speaking on Joy FM, an Accra-based radio station, he questioned the long-standing prac­tice of newly elected presidents removing all key appointees of the previous government, regardless of their performance.

“I am not a constitutional lawyer, and I may not be too familiar with the Constitution, but I am not sure there is any provision requiring an elected president to sack all known appoin­tees of the previous government and replace them with his own choices,” he said.

He acknowledged that some strategic posi­tions, especially in the security sector, may re­quire changes for national security reasons but criticised the “wholesale sacking” of appoin­tees as a norm in Ghana’s political system.

According to him, this practice had existed across different administrations and was not unique to the current government under President Mahama.

“In my view, it doesn’t make sense to do that, but currently, the system allows it. So, it is not a matter of blaming Mahama or anybody. It is the system they inherit and the practice that has been going on,” he ex­plained.

Prof. Agyeman-Duah pointed to Thailand as an example of a country that has success­fully separated politics from development.

“In Thailand, politicians focus on gov­ernance while civil servants, who maintain professionalism, continue implementing policies and projects regardless of changes in government. Only top political functionaries are replaced,” he said.

He warned that without a shift in Ghana’s approach to governance and development, the country risks making slow progress, saying, “If we are not careful to change our development model, which should come with a change in mindset, we will move two steps forward and four steps backwards, and that really spells disaster for our country.”
