National Organizer of the opposition New Patriotic Party is worried over how the NDC’s National Delegate Congress has been swamped with state funds by some aspirants.
According to Mr John Boadu, if such monies could be shared to delegates in an internal election within the NDC, then the general elections would be worse.
He, however opined that “for the incumbent national chairman [Dr. Kwabena Adjei] of the NDC to even express concern, shows how worrisome the situation is. He said some aspirants are paying huge sums to delegates canvassing for their votes. He is even shocked.
“…I appreciate the idea that, Kwabena Adjei said he will investigate the money sharing allegations, even if he loses his position as the chairman,” he said
Speaking on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo, John Boadu bemoaned that Ghana’s economic crisis under the current administration can also be blamed on excessive use of state funds by the NDC during elections.
“The problems we are facing as we speak now, apart from other reasons, in 2012, the amount of money that was captured as being over-spent in the budget was more than the budget allocation for 2008…monies disbursed by this government for their campaign was unnecessary and we are now facing the hardship,” he said
“It’s surprising that in this their congress, accusations of money sharing is being pointed at the corridors of power,” he stated.
