Kwabena Abankwa Yeboah, NPP National Treasurer
Every penny that comes to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as part of a fundraising for the party’s campaign towards the 2016 general election will have a receipt issued for it and adequately accounted for, National Treasurer of the opposition party, Kwabena Abankwa Yeboah has said.
Mr. Abankwa Yeboah, together with suspended National Chairman, Paul Afoko, Kwabena Agyepong and Freddy Blay were embroiled in a disagreement over control of the party’s finances with some extreme issues of financial impropriety popping up last year; a matter that played a critical role in making the suspended chief scribe, Agyepong and Mr. Afoko look bad in the eyes of party members.
Those happenings played in the minds of the public, especially sympathizers of the party, who have cast doubts as to whether indeed the main opposition is credible in the management of its finances.
Reacting to such claims in an interview with Kasapa News, Mr. Abankwa Yeboah said the current structures within the NPP have yearned to streamline processes for the disbursement of monies.
“Whatever perception out there, at least since I came into office, by the grace of God, structures have been put in place. And that is how come I’m able to come out boldly to condemn certain things because there are processes that ought to be followed through in taking out monies from the party’s accounts.”
His comments come in the wake of the launch of the NPP’s 2016 Fund Raising Campaign, which was held at the Asylum Down headquarters of the party in Accra on Wednesday, February 13.
He assured sympathisers of the party not to panic in their bid to donate to support the party’s campaign activities ahead of the 2016 elections, adding that such monies will be used judiciously to help change the Mahama-led NDC government come November 7, 2016.
