Accra, April 6, GNA – The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Friday, condemned attempts by the Government and New Patriotic Party (NPP) functionaries to divert discussion on the energy crisis. In a statement in Accra signed by Dr Kwabena Adjei, National Chairman, the NDC said it had observed without surprise attempts by “our opponents” to divert attention from the debilitating energy crisis that the country is saddled with.
The NDC had also taken note of the failure of President John Agyekum Kufuor and the Government “to keep faith with their numerous promises to solve the problem,” it said.
The Party expressed concern about a section of the media, which it said had taken bits and pieces of “what they might have heard” at the “second Family Meeting” of the NDC on Tuesday, and had added “their diabolical spin to suit their diversionary agenda”.
The statement said, “The words, phrases and statement” attributed to certain NDC personalities “emanate more from the figments of their imagination than from what was actually said at the Family Meeting”.
“The NDC remains more united than ever and is poised for the beckoning 2008 electoral victory”, the statement said.
The leadership of the party urged NDC members not to be distracted by any vile propaganda until victory in December 2008.
