NPP not a tribal party - MP

Domiabra (Ashanti Region) - The Member of Parliament for Ahafo Ano South, Mr Stephen Balado Kwaku Manu, said on Wednesday that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is not a tribal party because its membership cuts across the length and breath of the country. Addressing the people of Domiabra as part of his tour of the constituency to interact with the people, the MP said the membership of the party is not limited to any particular ethnic group as the party's opponents would want the people to believe, adding that such statements are only aimed at soiling the party's image.

Mr Manu briefed the people on some bills passed recently, including the increase of the Value Added Tax, citizenship, traditional medicine practice and the appropriation bills. He advised the chiefs and people of the town to rekindle their communal spirit to initiate development projects.
