Democratic Movement of Ghana to promote democracy
Kumasi, March 15, Ghanadot/GNA - The Democratic Movement of
Ghana (DMG), a pressure group of minority political parties,
has said its objective was to guard jealousy the political
gains so far made over the years.
This, it said, would ensure peace, accountability and
fulfilment of campaign promises by the ruling government.
Speaking at a press conference in Kumasi over the weekend,
Mr Ramadan Abu, National Chairman of the DMG, alleged that
some individuals and political opponents of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) were being harassed and humiliated by
the National Democratic Congress (NDC) members under the
guise of recovering State assets.
Mr Abu said NDC supporters have been seizing public toilets
that the NPP Government gave out to contractors to manage
and that the action was an embarrassment and could erode
international goodwill built over the years.
He said it was a serious issue that could kill investor
confidence because the right to own property without fear
and intimidation was a pre-requisite for attracting
international and domestic investors.
Mr Abu said it was sad that the Leadership of the NDC had
not openly condemned such acts being meted out to NPP
supporters and called on President John Evans Atta Mills to
openly come out and condemn those acts and not just issue
statements of apology which have woefully failed to curtail
the incidents.
He said “one of the cardinal themes of the NDC campaign was
the creation of a lean government and public accountability
and as at now, President Mills had appointed about 75
Ministers of State.
The Chairman asked the Government to tell the nation, the
expenditure incurred by the Transitional Team.
