NDC calls for measures to end economic hardship

Tamale (Northern Region) - The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has called on the government to put measures to arrest the current economic hardship facing the country.

This was contained in a communique issued at the end of the regional delegates conference of the NDC in Tamale on Friday.

The communiqu? mentioned high cost of living exorbitant school and hospital fees and urged the government to address them. The NDC said the party was facing political trial and that the government should put a stop to it.

The communiqu? also called on the government to ensure that the National Reconciliation Commission Bill's reference starts from 1957 to date. The Bill should genuinely reconcile the nation and the Commission's membership should be non-partisan it said.

Earlier, in a resolution, the NDC said it cherished democratic values and wished to see internal democracy deepened. It called for unity and cohesion within the party to enhance democracy.

To achieve democracy, let us remember the issues of disagreement alongside the exercise of democracy, the resolution said.

Mr. John Mahama, Member of Parliament for Bole who addressed the conference, said the NDC would use the NPP campaign promises and slogans to defeat it next time because the NPP have not been able to deliver what it promised the people.

Who, today, could say, his or her life is better than the era of the NDC,? he asked. He said the NDC parliamentarians would continue to work hard to put the government on its toes to deliver.

On the impending national delegates congress of the NDC, he said, the party would elect people that would lead the party to victory.
