The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been asked to react to allegations of mismanagement being levelled against it by a section of the people through various radio stations.

Senior Bishop Deputy of the AME Zion Church, the Right Reverend Dr. Godfred Zormelo, told the Ghana News Agency at Winneba on Thursday that such public explanation would go a long way to stem the unnecessary anger generated in the people by such phone-in programmes on private radio stations.

Rev. Zormelo said the long silence of the NDC over the issue was a source of worry to many Ghanaians, adding: "the earlier the NDC comes out to clear the air the better".

He also expressed shock at the statement by the government against the former Ashanti Regional Minister, Mr Samuel Nuamah Donkor, for the measures he took to retrieve a number of state property from the former Kumasi Metropolitan Chief Executive, Nana Akwasi Agyeman.

Rev. Zormelo said the steps taken by Mr Nuamah Donkor were in the right direction and that the former minister needs commendation and not condemnation.

He said since Mr Nuamah Donkor acted in his capacity as acting KMA Chief Executive and a representative of the nation, the government should not castigate him as such acts tend to dampen the spirit of highly committed and dedicated citizens who want to render appreciable service to the nation.
