We can’t continue defending your corrupt deals on empty stomachs, hunger is killing us - NPP Communicators demand allowance

Communicators of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) have commenced a strike action today, January 30.

The move according to a communicator who spoke to GHOne News on anonymity is to protest the non-payment of monthly allowances to communicators by the party.

According to him, communicators can no longer continue to defend corrupt deals of the government on empty stomachs.

He said hunger is killing them.
“Since we elected the new national executive we haven’t received any monthly allowance. They used to give us GHS1,000 but the money is not coming anymore. We didn’t even receive anything for Christmas; hunger is killing us while we are on radio and TV defending their corrupt deals with empty stomachs,” the NPP communicator said as quoted by Starr News.

Meanwhile, a letter to all Ashanti Regional Communicators has confirmed the strike.

ANNOUNCEMENT
At a General Meeting of Regional and National Communications Directors, a conclusion was made that from Tomorrow, Monday, 30th January, 2023, ALL COMMUNICATORS are embarking on a SIT DOWN STRIKE until further notice.

This is to press home demands from the National Party as regards

Communicators’ Welfare.
