The National Campaign Coordinator of the National Democratic Congress, Kofi Adams, has discounted claims made by President Mahama that he contributed significantly to the writing of the 2016 manifesto of the party.

According to Kofi Adams, who disclosed this to Brong Ahafo regional executives of the NDC on Thursday, 15th September, in preparation for the NDC's manifesto launch on Saturday, urged the members of the party to "treat the President's remarks with a pinch of salt."

Kofi Adams, whose claim did not sit down well with regional executives, told the 25-man team gathered at the Eusbett Hotel, that "President Mahama did not write 'foko'. He did not contribute in any way to the drafting of the Manifesto. You can ask any of the committee members. Lee Ocran is here, you can ask him."

Member of the Manifesto Committee, Lee Ocran, who has been a member over the years of various manifesto committees, subtly tried to water-down Kofi Adams' comments by stating that "well, I wouldn't use Kofi Adams' word and say the President did not write 'foko'. Yes, it is true that he did not contribute to the writing, but at least he saw the final draft before it went for printing."

As though this was not enough, Lee Ocran further stated that "the draft manifesto come to as without a single mark or annotation by the President, meaning he was very comfortable with the manifesto given him."

This submission by Lee Ocran, drew an angry response by Kofi Adams, who stated, to the dismay of the NDC faithful gathered that "I don't know why Lee Ocran is being diplomatic. I will call a spade a spade".

He told the Brong Ahafo Regional executives to cast their minds back to the presentation of the manifesto highlights made by President Mahama, saying that "the President's presentation was one of someone who did not even know the details of the manifesto, he was just reading out the highlight with no emotional attachment to it whatsoever."

The bombshell, which was to break the proverbial camel's back was yet to come.

Kofi Adams, who is also the National Organiser of the NDC, told the gathering that "we never plagiarized or copied the NPP's manifesto for 2016. This is because they don't have a manifesto yet. However, we picked ideas from the NPP flagbearer. He has said some useful things, which we dubbed. After all, they were just ideas he was floating about and not contained in any formal document."

It will be recalled that on the same day Kofi Adams was making this disclosure, President Mahama was also addressing chiefs and members of the Ga Traditional Council, where he contradicted Kofi Adam's claims by stating that he directly participated in the drafting of the NDC 2016 manifesto and can vouch for its originality.

"I was directly involved in writing the manifesto for the NDC and so I know everything that is in that manifesto because I participated. People did not just write it and bring it to me; I participated in writing that manifesto," h

Hopefully the EC is not given the forms out for free. The EC should have charged for a non refundable fees of 10% of the filing fees. That will be five thousand Ghana new cedis just for the forms.

Most of the defunct party candidates and the Independent fool candidates would not have wasted their time and money for the forms.

These people are of the belief that if Mahama can be President, then it is not impossible for them to be voted for.

No body should blame the president of Ghana for the so called hardship just look at the number of people who picked the presidential nomination forms and the amount they will pay for their parliamentary candidates if there were economic crisis like how many of the political parties can afford the filing fee. Please Stop blaming the president.

Mr Boat, did Nana Add or NPP also pick a form? Do you know if they will file? Did NPP also pay the asking Ghc 50,000? Bcos I heard them say it was too much and that they will demonstrate against it and will not pay.

Traditional Satanism is not simply an inversion, but a complete rejection of the images of a
0244908520particular culture, religion, or philosophy. From there a Satanist uses those images against the ethos itself, that was once his own conditioning. Persons who participate in traditional Satanic masses sometimes experience a king of 'sartori', a sudden enlightenment, to an increase in their own consciousness, and feeling stronger and satisfied because they had broken with the constraining opposites. In other words, at its highest level Satanism uncovers what the ethos of a particular community or society has covered up through images, dogma, words and ideas, returning the individual to the primal chaos out of which 'opposites' were created." ~ Magister Hagur, Temple of Atazoth Office

NPP won't pay Ghc 50,000 just for a form. We are not corrupt like the NDC and we hope to demostrate against it. We won'the let Nana Add pick a form from the EC for that price. OR HAVE THEY PICKED A FORM ALREADY?

Your question at the end of your comment says it all about you and moreso many other millions out there. You don't even know what goes on in the party - either Nana picked his form or not. That's a pity on your part.
How then do you go about declaring to the nation the integrity of people that you don't even know their programs.

If Ghana is hard where did these people get the money from to pay 50,000.00 each. There is so much money in the system that everyone wants to be President by throwing their money. Ghana is good

The EC must charge for the forms for parties and people to think twice before coming to collect the forms. This will help us improve and eradicate jokers from future contestants.

I think things need to be streamlined, going forward aspirants should be made to pay the fee before picking the form and they should also pay for at least 50% of parliamentary seats.
People are taking Ghana for granted.

Who came up with the idea that the best picture of presidential candidates should be used above? Is this an attempt to fool or deceive voters? I know Nana Addo doesn't look half this young.

WHO FILLED OUT THE FORMS FOR AKUA DONKOR? Please, this is of particular interest to me since this prospective president may not be able to write even her own name.
