Former First lady campaigns for NDC
Asubone Rail (E/R), Nov. 1,
Ghanadot/GNA – The Former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman
Rawlings has called on Ghanaians to vote for the National
Democratic Congress (NDC) in the forthcoming elections to
reduce the high cost of living, poverty and other hardships
facing the people which have been brought about by the
economic policies of New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) government.
She said a vote for Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as President
in the forth coming elections would worsen the living
standard of the people since the property owning democracy
system being pursued by the government only benefit few
individuals and supporters of the NPP party.
Nana Konadu was addressing large number of NDC supporters
who defiled a heavy down pour at Asubone Rail, Fodoa,
Nkawkaw Zongo and the Nkawkaw Central Market to attend
separate rallies organized as part of her three day visit to
some communities in the Kwahu area.
She said the NDC government came out with effective
programmes towards the development of the country with the
construction of roads, extension of electricity, potable
water and other infrastructure throughout the country, but
the NPP deceived Ghanaians with lies during the 2000
electioneering campaign to win the election.
The former First Lady who is also the President of the 31st
December Women’s Movement said Ghanaians could not move
forward with the high rate of corruption and the use of the
country as a transit point for cocaine and urged the
electorate to vote against NPP in the forth coming general
election.
Ms Shirley Aryittey, the first Vice Chairman of the NDC
called on the government to come out with the true state of
the country’s economic situation for the people to know the
amount of debt the country was owning its creditors and debt
so far paid for the past eight years.
She said the redenomination of the country’s currency had
devalued the currency by ten per cent while the government
could not account for the total amount of currencies printed
during the redenomination exercise.
Ms Aryittey said an NDC government would create employment,
assist farmers with tractors and other farming inputs to
increase production and also assist them to market their
produce to make the needed profit and therefore urged the
electorate to massively vote for the NDC in the next
Presidential and Parliamentary elections.
Nana Konadu also addressed rallies at Sempoa, Kotoso, Nteso,
Nketepa, New Jerusalem and Adawso and also introduced the
Parliamentary candidates for Nkawkaw, Mpraeso and Abetifi
constituencies.
