The Communication Officer for the Tema Central Constituency, Kingsley Ackah Koufie, has described the actions of the party executives in the constituency as unfortunate and unhealthy. However, he believes the development will send a strong signal to the national executives to listen to the concerns of party members.
He made these remarks on the Adekyee Mu Nsem morning show on Ahotor 92.3 FM, hosted by Alexander Nana Dogbey in Accra.
Meanwhile, executives of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Tema Central Constituency of the Greater Accra Region have locked up the offices of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in protest against what they describe as unfair and exclusionary appointment processes.
The action, led by Constituency Chairman Benjamin Ims Djakumah, follows growing dissatisfaction over recent appointments to the NHIS and other public institutions within the constituency.
According to the executives, the appointments were made without consultation and overlooked several qualified party members in Tema Central.
In a related development, Chairman Djakumah stated that the constituency leadership is deeply unhappy with what he described as a recurring pattern of sidelining grassroots executives who worked tirelessly for the party’s success.
Supporting the protest, Constituency Secretary Henry Davidson Ayeh said party executives feel taken for granted despite their commitment and loyalty to the NDC.
Constituency Organiser Abdul Razak Mohammed Mutakwil also stressed that the sacrifices made by party faithful in Tema Central must be recognised, warning that years of hard work should not be allowed to go to waste.
