Incumbent Chairman of the governing party Dr Kwabena Adjei has told starr news in an interview that he is being blamed by members of the National Democratic Congress, for the failures of the current Government.

“Everything the Government has done and has not done well from the energy crisis to lack of funds for GETfund scholarship to school feeding programme to poor road network to lack of potable water in certain places, all are government responsibilities, I’m not the person to be blamed, but when I go out they blame me, as if I was the minister of water resources works and housing, minister of roads, minister of energy, minister of this, they put it on me,” the two-time Chairman who is running for a third consecutive term told Ibrahim Alhassan.

The former Minister in the Rawlings Government, nonetheless conceded that the complaints of the party “mirror the general view” of Ghanaians in the country.

“…I take some of the blame because I’m the party chairman, and I can’t go out of my way to deny,” he said.

Dr Adjei is one of the four candidates running for the national chairman slot of the party.

The others include former Minister of Trade and Industry Dan Abodakpi, former General Secretary Huudu Yahaya and National Disaster Management Organisation (NADMO) Coordinator, Kofi Portuphy.

The Congress is billed for December 20, 2014 in the Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi. A member of the party, Aboagye Didieye, who is also the MP for Afram Plains North, has, however, dragged the party to court over his disqualification. He is seeking an injunction on the Congress, which is billed for Saturday. The court will rule on the matter Thursday.
