NDC asks other parties to join its planned "demo"

Kumasi, Aug 27, GNA- The National Democratic Congress (NDC) on Wednesday called on other political parties and civil society organisations to join its planned street protest in Kumasi on Tuesday, September 2.

A statement issued in Kumasi and signed by Mr Emmanuel Nti-Fordjour, the Ashanti Regional Chairman, said the march dubbed "Kafodidi", is meant to send a message to the government that Ghanaians are "dying from its suffocating economic policies."

It made it clear that the NDC is not at war with the government. The statement appealed to the security agencies to act firmly to deal with any individual or group who may want to create confusion during the demonstration.

It said the party is aware that some unscrupulous people have planned to wear NDC printed "T" shirts to join the demonstrators and cause disorder.

The statement gave the assurance that there will be adequate measures to take care of such mischief-makers, adding, "we want this demonstration to be peaceful and incident-free".
