The Dispatch

The denial by the Reform Movement of Libyan funding, is the subject of the lead story of the Dispatch. The paper says one of the main reasons why a number of Ghanaians have been skeptical about the Reform Movement has been how the group would fund its activities. According to the paper, finance is the heart of all political activities and rumours circulating have mentioned the Libyan government of Colonel Muammar Gaddafi as one of its main sources of funding. Another source, the paper says, mentioned Mr P.V. Obeng, former Presidential Adviser on Governmental Affairs. The Dispatch says a source close to the the movement categorically denied receiving any funding from the Libyan government or P.V. Obeng. The source, the paper says, explained that the rumours were part of a smear campaign which the NDC had decided to spread against the movement.
