NDC Is In A Coma; NPP Is A Failure ? CPP

The Convention People?s Party (CPP) ruled out the NDC as a party, and claims that he party is in a coma and the least one talked about them the better.
As for the New Patriotic Party, the CPP claimed that it has failed the nation with their lame positive change programme which has failed to change the poor state of the lives of the masses in any way.
These assessments were made by Mr Kwasi Akoto, the National Organiser of the CPP in an interview with the Free Press at the inauguration of the party?s women?s league in Accra.
Mr Akoto said the NPP government has not been able to find any meaningful way of addressing workers? grievances like the call for reversion to cap 30 pension scheme being made by teachers and other civil servants. Mr Akoto contended also that not even the National Health Insurance scheme was being properly handled to enable the citizens of the country to enjoy a congenial health delivery.
Hear him, ?tell Kufour to stop taking money from the SSNIT fund and rather improve upon the pension in order to pay adequate pension to teachers and other civil servants who are claiming for the cap 30 pension. After digging some fifty feet underground, they hit water and they were happy that their problem had been solved.
But their happiness was shortlived. A few days after they had started using the water they started experiencing serious health problems like stomach disorders and skin rushes.
In addition they noticed that when they used the water to wash clothes, the clothes become discoloured. They immediately suspended their new found water and sent samples to Energy Commission and EPA for tests and they were alarmed at the results.
