The Ghana Palaver

"Reform remnants turn to NPP faction... Is GHACEM funding Group?" is the Palaver's headline. The paper claims the remnants of the Reform Movement which constitutes the rump of the original movement within the NDC is in the process of forming an alliance with a faction within the New Patriotic Party.

'Ghana Palaver' Scouts who covered the Reform Movement press conference last Monday confirmed that most of the people who distributed the T-shirts and other materials in the vicinity of the Hall, before and after the press conference, were foot soldiers of one of the defeated NPP presidential hopefuls, says the paper.

In addition, two young lawyers from the chambers of the defeated presidential candidate were sighted by our scouts among the well-heeled people at the Church Hall.

The linkage between the remnants and a faction within the NPP has further been strengthened by a hand-written budget drawn up on a memorandum pad of the Ghana Cement Manufacturing Company (GHACEM) which the paper says is in the possession of its scouts.

The paper says the memorandum pad contains the budget of the Reformed remnants for December 20, 1998 to January 20, 1999.
