P/s President Mills, have you forgotten your promise to the people of Ashanti? or is because Ashanti is not your world bank?
THE National Democratic Congress (NDC) yesterday reached the Kumasi Metropolis with its 'stop-to-shop' campaign.
Led by the flag-bearer, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, and his running mate, John Mahama,
the party began the 'new strategy' from Bantama, as early as 8 a.m., through Suame Magazine to the Central market.
At every stop, the party was received by a large crowd of people who expressed contentment with meeting the party's hierarchy and chanting 'the time has come for a change'.
It was quite a scene at the Suame Magazine, where the people encircled Prof Mills and it was very difficult for media personnel to get to him.
Addressing them, Prof. Mills said that a government of the NDC would change the 'face of the place', develop it into an industrial base for the benefit of the nation.
'We have talented and skilled people who can manufacture equipment and other machines to move the country forward in terms of technology,' he said.
At the Prempeh Assembly Hall, the final venue for the campaign, Prof. Mills expressed concern about the cocaine saga in the country.
He said the issue of cocaine should be looked at holistically and said the NDC government would not do any selective justice in the arrest and prosecution of dealers, adding 'we will not do politics with the issue'.
Prof. Mills was of the view that the issue of cocaine was not a problem of only the incumbent government alone but the nation as a whole and reiterated that the NDC would not toy with it at all.
He touched on the Kumasi airport, saying that his government would upgrade it to international standards to enable the metropolis to have direct contact with international bodies.
Prof. Mills was worried that the Boankra Inland Port had not been completed and stated that the NDC government would not joke with the project.
He said NDC would not hesitate in facilitating its completion to reduce pressure on the two ports at Tema and Takoradi.
'It is a good venture which will help to boost business, particularly in the Kumasi metropolis,' he said.
On his part, Mr Mahama spoke on the law of causing financial loss to the state, and said that it had been politicised against the NDC.
He said the NDC would not use it to witch hunt anybody, but 'will show that we have a leadership that is more mature than the New Patriotic Party'.
According to him, the December election was about the quality of leadership that Ghanaians wanted 'and that is what we stand for'.
There was an open forum which saw many people expressing concerns about the economic hardship prevailing now in the country.
Mr Samuel Ofosu Ampofo, National Organiser of the party, overwhelmed by the number of people who followed them to the Prempeh Hall, remarked that 'the myth surrounding the NPP would be broken, come the December polls'.
