Komba vies for CPP General Secretary post
Kumasi, July 19, GNA - Mr Serchen Komba, a civil engineer
and management consultant, has declared his intention to
contest for the position of General Secretary of the
Convention People's Party (CPP).
He said his prime objective for the position was to provide
the Party the needed long-term strategic direction that
would bring the CPP back as a vibrant and dominant party in
the country's politics.
In a statement to the press in Kumasi on Wednesday, Mr Komba,
a former Volta regional executive member of the CPP, said
when given the mandate, he would help to prepare the Party
adequately for the 2008 general election.
"In order to achieve this objective, I will help the Party
leadership to develop a crash programme which will bring all
the splinter groups of the CPP family to the mainstream
party activities", he said.
"I will market the party's vision, policies and its human
centred-development agenda to the electorate to enable them
to differentiate CPP from the other parties", he added.
The aspiring CPP scribe said he would help to incorporate
income-generation activities into the party's administration
to raise funds to finance the crash programme towards the
2008 general election and increase enrolment of card-bearing
members, especially the youth.
Mr Komba, who is currently the assembly member for
Buamadumase electoral area in the Ejisu-Juaben district,
said the time had come for all Nkrumaists to wake up from
their slumber to bring the CPP, which served as a vanguard
for the advancement of African personality to reposition
Ghana as leader in Africa unification dream.
He wondered why the Party which used to be the vanguard of
the people of African descent in their struggle to realize
their potential was performing at the periphery of Ghana
politics since 1992 and pointed out that when he becomes its
General Secretary, he would try to find answers as a team
player and a strategists.
