NDC must come to terms with defeat - NPP

THE Eastern Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) , Nana Adi Ankamah, has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has not yet come to terms with its defeat after one year.

“Due to this, its members term the NPP’s probe into their financial misappropriation and other excesses when they were in power as witch-hunt,” he said.

Nana Adi Ankamah made this remark at a mini-rally organised at Koforidua on Monday by the New Juabeng Constituency members of the party to mark the NPP’s were one year in office.

He said the NPP government will do well to retrieve monies that were misdirected by members of the past government.

He called on the people to keep supporting the NPP, adding that the government has a vision for Ghanaians which will transform their living conditions.

The party’s Eastern Regional Women’s Organiser, Rosenna Addo, called on the women to organise themselves so that they can benefit from the numerous loans that the government has for women.

She also called on women supporters in the municipality to be patient with the party, assuring them that better times are yet to come for them.

The Municipal Chief Executive, Nana Adjei Boateng, who said the government will give out loans to trust-worthy people who will pay up for others too to access the facility, called on people in small-scale industries to take advantage of the loans that have been made available to them.

He said the assembly is still urging people in the municipality, who took loans under the Poverty Alleviation Scheme, to pay up so that others can also use the facility.

He said more initiatives are going to be established by the government so that people can develop themselves.
