NPP Has Responsibility to Protect Country’s Democracy

Space FM,Sunyani- The National Chairman of the ruling NPP, Mr. Peter Mac Manu, has said the party has a responsibility to protect the country's democracy and that can only be if the NPP is retained in the 2008 general elections.

He added that under the NPP government, Ghanaians are assured of a middle-income status by 2015.

He said the NPP is confronted with an opponent that has nothing good to offer, but only believes in telling lies and has therefore urged NPP foot soldiers to embark on a "Campaign of truth and facts."

The National Chairman was addressing participants at workshop at Tamale under the theme: "Consolidating Our Gains," and was to map out effective plans to enable the NPP to retain power in the 2008 General Elections.

The General Secretary of the NPP, Nana Ohene Ntow, called on the party's foot soldiers and supporters to continuously trumpet the achievements of the government to let the electorate know about the good works of the party.

Nana Ohene Ntow said it is only when the electorate gets to know and understand the achievements of the party that they would be convinced to return the party to power in 2008.

He said the implementation of the National Health Insurance Scheme, the Capitation Grant, the School Feeding Programme, the construction of roads through out the country and the National Youth Employment Programme, are some of the laudable achievements of the government that party members should tell Ghanaians about.
