The Progressive People’s Party (PPP) takes its grassroots campaign to the Central and Western Regions.
The tour, which will take the PPP to the Komenda Edina Eguafo Abrem (KEEA), Mpohor Wassa and the Shama constituencies, commences tomorrow Friday, September 6th to Sunday, September 8th, 2012.
The campaign team will be led by the PPP flag-bearer, Dr. Papa Kwesi Nduom, and will be accompanied by National Treasurer, Felix Ograh; deputy National Communications Director, Samuel Ampah, and some regional executives of the two regions. Dr. Nduom is however expected to meet the Central Region media at Elmina this evening.
The PPP team will visit the party’s polling station executives and other party members in many polling stations in the KEEA, Shama and the Mpohor Wassa constituencies.
Dr. Nduom is expected to use the occasion to educate party members on the need for them to stay loyal to the PPP; their responsibilities and roles and also spell out what the Ghanaian private sector should expect from a PPP administration under his presidency.
The PPP flag-bearer will explain the party’s quality free, compulsory and continuous education from kindergarten to the Senior High School and transparency and accountability in governance.
He will reiterate his call on the other presidential aspirants, especially, President John Dramani Mahama and Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of the NPP, to show commitment to his call for strict separation of powers.
These include the prohibition of Members of Parliament from being appointed as Ministers of State; the direct election of district, municipal and metropolitan chief executives without any interference from the President and strengthening of the office of Attorney General by separating it from the Ministry of Justice.
Dr Nduom will also repeat his call for all presidential candidates to make available to the public, their total assets, income tax returns, the disclosure of health records and sources of campaign funding of all political parties before the December 7th elections, and to conduct a campaign to prove competence and ability to offer solutions to the nation’s numerous problems.”
