NDC will utilize nation's resources to benefit all - Mills

Tema Manhean, April 4, GNA -- A National Democratic Congress (NDC) Government would ensure equity in the nation's resources and utilize them judiciously to the benefit of all Ghanaians to avoid mistrust. Professor John Evans Atta Mills, NDC flag bearer for Election 2008 gave the assurance when addressing a durbar of chiefs and people of Tema Manhean as part of his campaign tour.

He noted that the nation abounds in rich natural resources but alleged that were being mismanaged by the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Government to the benefit of few people.

Accompanied by national executives of the Party, Prof. Mills said contrary to campaign promise by NPP that its government would ensure socio-economic relief to Ghanaians there were untold hardships in the society.

He said the ruling government's insensitivity to the plight of Ghanaians coupled with its failure for the truth to prevail had led to the polarization of the society, corruption and poverty. Prof. Mills stressed the need for a change in governance and urged Party activists and sympathizers to vote the NDC into power for socio-economic relief.

He pledged that when voted into power, the Party would transform the fishing industry to ensure fishermen improve their living standards.

Mr Enoch Teye Mensah, Member of Parliament for Ningo/Prampram said an NDC government would reduce taxes on goods and services that had created burden on the people.

He gave the assurance that fishermen would get premix fuel regularly at affordable prices. Mr Mensah introduced Mr Kempes Ofosu-Ware, an accounts officer of Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) as Parliamentary candidate for Tema East Constituency.

Nii Adjei Kraku II, Tema Mantse advised politicians to conduct clean campaigns devoid of insults and inflammatory pronouncements that could create conflicts in the society. He asked them to base their campaigns on issues and convince the electorate to vote for the Party to win the election.
