Wed, 2 Jan 2002 Source: .

The Brong Ahafo regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has assured the party's supporters and well-wishers that the NDC was solidly on the ground and working hard to recapture political power in the next general election.

In a press release to mark the 20th anniversary of the 31st December Revolution, the party expressed gratitude to those who stood firm to make the present democratic dispensation a reality.

The release, signed by Mr Mohammed Doku, Secretary, called on the government to rescind its decision to dismiss the staff of the National Mobilisation Programme and the National Disaster Management Organisation "only to replace them with NPP functionaries".

The party said the proposed Bui Dam and the Nsoatre International Airport were among projects dear to the hearts of the people of the region and therefore advised the government not to scrap these projects as being suggested by some top NPP functionaries.

The release said the government's decision to cancel a housing project for staff of the new regional hospital and withdraw certain benefits to medical personnel did not augur well for efficient health care delivery.

The regional NDC also said it would join the TUC and other organisations to resist the attempt to privatise water supply because it would have negative effect on the lives of the people.
