Reject the NDC in the 2000 polls, MP tells constituents

Agroyesum (Ashanti), 8th June 99 --

Ghanaians have been asked to reject the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the 2000 general elections " for poor economic performance that has led to widespread suffering of the people."

Mr Anthony Boakye-Yiadom, New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Amansie West, said life is becoming unbearable for the people each passing day as tariffs keep hiking with school fees and medical bills always rising.

He said the only way to reverse this situation and bring comfort to all is to vote massively for the NPP which has "capable men to steer the economy in a more efficient and effective manner".

Addressing a rally at Agroyesum in the Amansie West district at the Weekend, Mr Boakye-Yiadom said a government of the NPP would focus on rural development, promote agriculture and ensure quality education for all.

He condemned the recent increases in the price of petroleum products, arguing that its expected negative effect on goods and services would wipe away whatever benefits that would have come out of the implementation of the Pricewater House salary structure.

Mr J. T. Boah, the constituency secretary, askedmembers and supporters of the party to always address issues and not to attack personalities.

He said the party can not afford to lose the 2000 general elections and called on all activists to intensify their campaigns for more members.
