"Should the State fund parties?" asked the front-page lead story of the Ghanaian Times. The story said the Electoral Commission (EC) is summoning a meeting of all registered political parties and the donor community in Accra on Thursday to deliberate on whether state should fund political parties during elections.

Also to be discussed is the issue of what percentage of votes must be obtained to qualify a political party for financial support by the state.

According to the paper, these issues form a broad proposal for the amendment of the Political Parties Law.

Another story on the paper's front-page has it that, some parts of the body of Constable Owusu Sekyere, a.k.a Ninja, one of the policemen murdered at Ablekuma, has been found.

The paper said following a tip-off, 15 policemen from the Police Striking Force and Action Units, found the parts yesterday under a bamboo tree at the place where his body was previously buried. The parts have been deposited at the Police Hospital Mortuary.
