NPP should learn from NDC - Ursula Owusu

Member of Parliament (MP) for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu Ekuful has advised the leadership and members of the New Patriotic Party to take a cue from the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC).

Admiring the NDC's method of resolving internal conflicts on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo", Hon. Ursula Owusu Ekuful urged her party faithfuls to learn from the ruling party and ensure that they don't wash their dirty linen in public.

According to her, whenever there is any internal strife within the NDC, unlike the NPP; the ruling party refuses to make it a public affair.

They try as much as possible to iron out their differences using internal machinery available to the party and so, she was of a similar view that any conflict in the NPP should be dealt with at the party level without anyone addressing it in the public domain.

This notwithstanding, Ursula Owusu however slammed the ruling NDC over its controversial four-storey office complex building at Adabraka in Accra; a building which is speculated to have cost the party over 20 million dollars was on Wednesday commissioned.

Though the General Secretary of the governing party, Johnson Asiedu Nketia has on several occasions denied the 20 million dollar edifice belongs to the NDC, Hon. Ursula Owusu expressed disappointment in the party.

To her, the building has been established at the expense of the ordinary Ghanaian whose plight seems to worsen at the tick of the clock.

He recounted some economic challenges and State-owned companies that have suddenly become defunct due to the operations of the NDC government.

In her view, the money spent on the edifice could have given a relief to the Ghanaian citizenry.
