Letter To NPP Leadership

By Women On A Target Mission (Wom)
Letter To NPP Leadership
07.09.2015 LISTEN

The New Patriotic Party NPP, Ghana’s biggest opposition political party is at the crossroads again at a time when there is an impending election that needs focus, attention, determination, the best of pains taking meticulous winning strategies among others.

The issue of one accusation, counter accusation, who took party funds, who opened a new account, who squandered what etc are all needless at this point in time to say the least.

There are loads and volumes and tons of work to be done in achieving victory in ELECTION 2016, corruption under NDC, unstable power supply-DUMSOR,high cost of living,sky rocketing prices of petroleum products, economic mismanagement, high fiscal indiscipline and a whole lot of issues need to be packaged well into a campaign message so why is the party inflicting self pain on itself?

Women On A Target Mission(WOM) is simply asking,when will the party executives learn to handle internal party issues internally using internal mechanisms such as the:

•STEERING COMMITTEE
•NATIONAL EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
•COUNCIL OF ELDERS and any other that they deem fit?What are the main purposes or functions of these bodies in the party’s structure?

Must the party always wash its dirty linen in public? Will that not amount to arming political opponents with arsenals and salvos to fire back at them in due time?Why is NPP on a self-destruction one-way mission?

Where are the"FATHERS"in the party to calm the stormy tide that seems to surge whenever there is relative peace in the party?Must executives always run to the media at the slightest provocation?The media will only hype the issue but can never resolve internal party matters so take note.

Women On A Target Mission(WOM)kindly and humbly wants to propose to the LEGAL AND CONSTITUTIONAL COMMITTEE of the party for a party constitutional amendment within a reasonable time;that whoever-individual or group,executive or non-executive carries party issues/matters to the public domain without exhausting all the laid down rules/procedures/structures for resolving grievances in the party should be sanctioned severely,we believe this will curtail the ongoing crisis to a considerable limit.

"All the signature projects of John Mahama-led NDC government since 2009 amount to $3.5 billion dollars. Meanwhile, by the close of this year, the NDC would have borrowed $40 billion dollars.This excludes taxes, revenue from cocoa,oil,gold, manganese etc.by simple arithmetic, there is close to about $35 billion this government cannot account for." - Dr. Bawumia.

There is a bigger "ENEMY’’to fight in 2016 but the party seems to be expending all its political energy on petty squabbles which are needless and infantile to say the least. It is an accepted fact that political party's are solidified with a multitude of the populace of voting age but to have all the numbers who will cause you all these problems and in effect the ultimate aim cannot be achieved is meaningless.

The current"ARISE AND BUILD"tour by the party’s flag-bearer and running mate is a flagship campaign tour which should be embraced by all party faithfuls but due to the squabbles in the party,it is being overcrowded and losing its shine but we believe the ELEPHANT will rise again and stand tall among its political contemporaries if the above measures mentioned are put into operation.

Finally,a little bit of tolerance in the party will assure victory come 2016, a personal appeal to Messrs PAUL AFOKO and KWABENA AGYEPONG,the success or failure of NPP in election 2016 to a very large extent depends on these two individuals,they should sometimes soften their stance on issues for the sake of the party,the "STRAIGHT METAL JACKET"kind of leadership style are sometimes very detrimental to growth and development,that is not to say they should condone mediocrity but tampering justice with mercy and reprimanding administratively erases hard-feelings and sometimes produces better results.

•PISSING-IN AND PISSING-OUT WILL RATHER BREAK THAN MAKE THE PARTY.

•THERE IS STRENGTH IN UNITY.
•A DIVIDED HOUSE CAN NEVER STAND.
•TOGETHER WE STAND,DIVIDED WE FALL.
GOD SAVE GHANA!!!
GOD SAVE NPP!!!
