VP's Campaign Has Lost Focus ? Assiseh

The former Publicity Secretary of the National Democratic Congress, Vincent Assiseh says the vice President would have to live up to his campaign for greater discipline or forever hold his peace. Mr Assiseh thinks that the campaign has lost focus and is ineffective.

According to him, Ghanaians have waited long enough for lots of visible action from the quarters of the vice President to create the necessary massive national awareness and sustained momentum.

Mr Assiseh also entreated all those who ought to be playing various roles in fostering the big dream of government to make the campaign successful. According to him, ''zero tolerance for corruption'' by the Kufuor administration can only materialize when first, the alarming rate of indiscipline is addressed with the urgency it deserves, since corruption is an offshoot of indiscipline.

He advised all stakeholders in the campaign to move away from talk shop mentality and get more involved in formulating ways to make the impact of the crusade felt in all endeavours of society, especially among the Judiciary, religious bodies, media, civil service, law enforcement agencies and educational institutions in the country.
