CPP to hold workshop on policy direction

Accra, Feb. 14, GNA - The Research Committee of the Convention People's Party (CPP) is to hold a workshop on Friday to discuss the policy direction document the Party launched in October 2004, according to a statement signed by Dr Nii Noi Dowuona, General Secretary. The session, which would bring together highly qualified experts, would provide an opportunity to open up the Party to all committed persons, who wished to serve as spokespersons on various sectors of the economy and to contribute to the organisation of the Party.

The statement urged all Nkrumaists to identify with ongoing efforts to revive the CPP through useful and constructive engagement.

"Efforts and resources should be channelled towards building a formidable Party through laid down provisions of the CPP Constitution. "Party members who have leadership ambitions are advised to nurture them with great caution so that the Special Committee set up to investigate the dismal performance of the CPP in the 2004 Elections is not undermined."

The Committee, which would round up its work at the end of February, would make recommendations for the reorganisation and future direction of the Party.
