The Flagbearer hopeful of NDC, Dr. Kwabena Duffour has assured delegates of the party that if he is elected as Flagbearer and subsequently become President of Ghana he will make Ghana an investment destination of West Africa.
Addressing NDC’s Delegates in Adansi Akrofom, the former finance minister said the NDC have the men unlike the braggart New Patriotic Party who have destroyed Ghana’s economy through reckless spending and borrowing.
Addressing the delegates he said under his control as the finance minister of Ghana the country’s economy was never ranked the worse as is being experienced now.
“When I was the finance minister our economic growth was on point. Inflation was below 9%. We inherited the worst from the NPP but we made things better.”
NDC Hero’s Fund
Sharing vision to Adansi Akrofom delegates he said” I will restore the abandoned NDC’s hero’s fund we created when we were in government from 2009 to 2012 and collapsed from 2012 up to date.
He explained “during my tour I have noticed during our party activities some of our members sustain injuries through accidents and other violence attracts that continues to expose them to life threatening injuries. We need a special fund to take care of them and that’s why I’m talking about a hero’s fund for the party.”
He stressed no political party can run a competent party on monthly collection of one Ghana cedis (GHc.1.00) dues.
“We have to run NDC as a serious party by investing in insurance policy, buying bonds and shares. That is what will give us money for a day today running the party. In South Africa ANC is the major shareholder of MTN and other companies. So the party mostly depends on businessmen for their political activities. That’s the level I want to see NDC when I’m elected as leader of the party” delegates applauded him.
He urged delegates and other candidates seeking to lead the party into election 2024 to eschew politics of insults.
“After this Flagbearership contest we must all work together to defeat the destructive NPP government but if we fight during this contest we cannot achieve your goals of winning political power in 2024”
The constituency executives pledged to create a free and fair election on Saturday 13th May 2023 for all the aspirants seeking to lead the party into election 2024.
