Group: Where is PNC’s Ghc1.6M campaign money?

A group within the People’s National Convention (PNC) has accused the leadership of failing to account for Ghc1.6 million of the party’s 2012 election campaign funds.

Convention Forum, in a statement signed by Coordinator Akane Adam said: “We wish to…bring to the notice of all party sympathizers and Ghanaians…our pain and regret following the failure of our party’s leadership to retrieve a whopping sum of 1.6 million Ghana cedis of campaign funds donated to the party in the 2012 general elections”.

The group said the money was supposed to have been used to pay polling agents, procure motorbikes, print party posters and also pay for other election logistics.

“However as we speak, many polling agents who served for the party at various polling stations since December 2012 are still demanding their monies and allowances since they were never paid”, the group said.

It claimed “the motor bikes for the campaign were also never procured”.

“The party is currently in financial distress and needs money to organise its polling station, constituency and regional elections”.

The Forum has demanded an independent probe to trace the funds.

It has threatened to vote out all the current executives if the fail to account for the money.
