Mr
Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie alias Sir John former General Secretary of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) has advised the leadership of his party not to refer
cases of alleged corruption to the
police for investigation.
“
Paul Afoko must know that this is an internal matter and we have to use the
internal structures of the party to resolve it”, he said.
Sir John was speaking on the “Good Morning
Ghana” show on Metro TV last Wednesday.
He
had been asked to comment on the allegation that some party leaders have opened
a secret account without the knowledge and consent of both National Chairman
and the General Secretary.
Sir
John was full of praise for Mr. kwabena Agyapong
, current General Secretary of the party.
He
described him as one of the best General Secretaries the NPP has had since
1992.
According
to him he lost the contest for the
position of General Secretary because Kwabena Agyapong had a better
organization.
Sir
John predicted that Nana Akufo- Addo will win the 2016 presidential elections
because he is incorruptible.
Editorial
WHAAAT?
News
that the Electoral Commission was charging journalist an accreditation fee of
GH8.00 (Eight Ghana Cedis) to cover the District level election was a huge
shock to many Ghanaians.
Why
would the Electoral Commission charge journalists for covering the election
when one of its major problems was lack of publicity.
Indeed
on the day of the election, many people interviewed on radio said that they did
not know that the election was taking place.
A
lot more people did not vote because they did not know the candidates and what
they stood for.
Perharps
the EC does not fully understand the full import of its responsibilities.
In
the 2012 elections, the EC decided to cancel the privilege of journalists
voting a day before the elections to enable them carry out their duties
effectively.
It
is our hope that the EC will come to realize that journalists are its partners
in the electoral process and take steps to facilitate their work.
