The National
Democratic Congress (NDC) has raised red flags over the appearance of the
Director-General of National Communication Authority (NCA) at an Inter-Party
Advisory Committee (IPAC) meeting as a representative of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP).
The meeting was to discuss a new procurement and
collation of results using services of the telecommunication companies as the
backbone to transmit 2020 Presidential and Parliamentary election results.
Joe Anokye, the Director-General of the NCA, who
is in charge of a regulatory body of the telecommunication companies was surprisingly
introduced at the IPAC meeting as representative of the NPP, the move, according to NDC, was “strange”
and “unacceptable”.
Ofosu Ampofo,
the National Chairman of the NDC, told members of the party in Koforidua in the
Eastern Region, pointed out that “strange things are happening in the country,
only a few days ago, there was an Inter-Party Advisory Committee meeting at the
Electoral Commission, the NPP introduced Joe Anokye, the Director-General of
the National Communication Authority as representative of NPP at the meeting.
Speaking at a symposium and handing over ceremony
by the Koforidua Technical University branch of Tertiary Institutions Network of
the NDC (TEIN), he said the IPAC meeting was going to discuss new procurement
for registration and collation of results, and the commission indicated it will
use the telcos as backbone on which their system would operate. “The man who is
in charge of regulating the telcos was now representing the NPP at IPAC, how?
“The NDC is monitoring and analysing all
electoral processes to be deployed for 2020 elections to ensure that it is
free, fair, credible and transparent, we’re hopeful of winning the 2020
elections but I charge members of the party, particularly students to be part of
the rescue mission operation. I want it to engrave in your mind, rescue is not
an easy task, rescue Ghana from tyrannical democratic rulers”.
Opare Addo, the National Youth Organizer of NDC, observed that NDC and John Mahama’s track records in the development of the country made the party a better alternative than NPP. -kasapafmonline.com
