The Eastern Regional grassroots communicators of the New Patriotic Party NPP have bemoaned the inability of their Members of Parliament across the Region to offer jobs to its supporters and how it is affecting party work at the grassroots due to the inaction of constituency executives.

The communicator’s organizer Abenbebom said the grassroots has tried on many occasions to be employed but ” anytime they go not even a single person to endorse the forms especially on the issues of car loan to the grassroots

He claimed they are wise now and the opportunity for grassroots to make a clear case and send a clear signal to many of the MP’s who had neglected the grassroots. The primaries are their power to choose the correct representatives

“You can give me a 5 kilo of rice and ghc50 as well but will vote against you because No Amount Of Money Can Buy Me. Abenbebom stated

Also, the framers of NPP party and Ghana constitution, as well as Democrats all over the world, knew that some MP’s when given the people’s power to rule and be in a comfort zone will rather neglect and ignore the people who toil for their leadership to serve this nation and their party manifesto promises

Abenbebom then advised the grassroots and delegates to change all those types of leaders who will not serve on their interest and neglect all those who go there only for their families and friends to the detriment of the party ,” let not entertain any form of begging, many of those had become tricksters ,let be careful.

” We have to take their monies and enjoy it and vote them out to serve as a lesson for others who are coming on boards or not even campaign for them during their primaries

Abenbebom finally thanked ALHAJI Opass and David Prah for their advice and supportive of the grassroots communicators’

The Chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE), Josephine Nkrumah has called on Ghanaians not to stay away from voting ahead of the 2020 elections.

Some Ghanaians have expressed apathy towards the 2020 general elections; a situation that has been partly blamed for the low turnout in the ongoing voters’ register exhibition exercise.

However, speaking at a forum dubbed ‘Making Democracy Work for the People’ which was organized by the Centre for Democratic Development (CDD) Ghana, the NCCE boss said staying away from elections is not the solution to the problems of democracy.

“I use every opportunity to always encourage the participation of Ghanaians in democracy by exercising their voting rights. If we want a vibrant democracy as a people, we shouldn’t say that because we’re not getting what we want, we’re not going to vote. Now more than ever, we should vote.”

“This is about multi-party democracy. If you feel that you are not getting what you want from either of the two dominant parties, there are other options for you. There are other parties. So we should begin to interrogate what those other parties also present and determine whether this is a better option or not,” she stated.

The voters’ register exercise experienced low patronage and a number of challenges at the various registration centres.

Constituencies like New Juaben North and South in the Eastern Region faced the challenge of not having the needed materials supplied from the EC headquarters, thereby hindering residents from checking their details on the first day of the exercise.

A similar incident happened at the Tamale Central constituency of the Northern Region.

The Director of the Centre for Asian Studies at the University of Ghana, Dr. Lloyd Adu Amoah, at the event, urged political parties to focus on development rather than the privileges that come with being in power.

“When power is won, the next thing is the spoils of power; who gets what within the party. Our parties lose focus on those big questions; futuristic questions. So I think that there needs to be a reconfiguration of the overall mindset and philosophy in terms of our parties in Ghana,” the Director said.

EC extends voters’ register exhibition exercise

The Electoral Commission has subsequently extended the voters’ register exhibition exercise.

The exercise started on September 10, 2019, and was expected to end on September 17, 2019.

A statement signed by Acting Director of Public Affairs at the EC, Sylvia Annor said the exercise will now end on September 20th, 2019.

The development of our communities is a collective responsibility of both the government and the citizens.

Mr. Mark Fuachie sobreh a philanthropist and an entrepreneur in an engagement with the people within his community during the commensuration of the chief of his community and was privileged to chair the program.

He told the community of many projects he has enback on to assist the community including the building of schools and a three-kilometer to 10-kilometer gutter for the people to ease flooding of their areas when it rains

He concluded that as citizens we have a role to play to harness development in our community and that we should be agents of change where ever we found ourselves.
