Ashanti NPP to educate serial callers...…To explain economic trends to electorate
Masahudu Ankiilu Kunateh, Ghanadot

In its bid to stay afloat and strengthen its grass root publicity machinery in order to confront the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) is organizing a sensitization workshop for members of the Ashanti Regional Communication Network of the party, commonly known as Serial Callers.

The one-day workshop is aimed at educating members of the network on the socio-economic achievements of the past administration under former President Kufuor and also enhance them with the needed information to enable them argue with their counterparts in the NDC.

The sensitization workshop to be periodically held by the party would among other things, draw comparison between the performances of the two political parties and explore the weaknesses of the ruling party in their few months of administration as well as the need for the NPP to come back to power in 2012.

A co-ordinator of the programme, Mr. J. K. Owusu Boakye, who is also the Special Assistant to the MP for Old Tafo, Dr. Anthony Akoto Osei, told the Ghanadot that the opposition party was determined to set the records straight and let the public know the difference between the NPP and the NDC.

According to him, current developments in the country give the opposition party an edge over its main opponent l and said the party was determined to explore the opportunity to the fullest.

He maintained that the continuous decline in the country’s economic growth under the NDC government amply justifies the initial fears expressed by the then government of the NPP that the nation would return to its dark days if the NDC was voted back to power.

Mr. Owusu Boakye said notwithstanding the fact that the NDC government had lost popularity and the confidence of the people, the NPP would not leave any stone unturned in its quest to reclaim power in 2012 by continuing to actively engage its supporters across the country.

He said the workshop would not be the first of its kind, adding that as time goes on, the party would brief its spokespersons and serial callers on every aspects of the economy and performance of the NDC government.
