Press release from leading party of Ghana NDC

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS ( NDC )

ASHANTI REGIONAL COMMUNICATION DEPARTMENT

Date : 27th June, 2016

MEDIA RELEASE

PLANS BY THE NPP TO HOOT AT THE PRESIDENT, A SIGN OF INGRATITUDE.

We have have learnt with utter dismay, moves by the NPP to stage violent demonstrations in Ashanti as part of schemes to divert public attention from the alluring and life-changing projects the President is expected to inspect/commission this week as part of his tour of the region.

We see this as a sign of ungratefulness if not wizardry, on the face of the unparalleled infrastructural developments given this region by His Excellency, John Dramani Mahama over the past three years.

While the NDC remains the most peaceful political entity in our country, we wish to state that any attempt to mare the beauty of the president's activities shall be met with the reasonable force it deserves.

We remind Asanteman that the much anticipated tour by the President dubbed "Accounting to the People" is on track as planned.

For the avoidance of doubt, please find below the itinerary and prepare accordingly.

DAY ONE(Tuesday 28th)

a)Arrival of His Excellency, the President at the Kumasi International Airport at 10 a.m.

b)Courtesy call on the Zongo chiefs and Elders at the Kumasi Central Mosque at 11 a.m

c) Inspection of the construction of Asawase market and town roads at 12 noon.

d)Inspection of the Kumawu Water project and the ongoing construction of a District hospital at 2pm

e)Inauguration of a Centre for Renewable Energy& Entrepreneurship Village as well as a sod-cutting ceremony for the new K'Poly Campus at Piase in the Bosmtwe District at 4pm

It is instructive to note that these two schools will give about 2,200 Ghanaian youth access to secondary education aside from the numerous job opportunities they would create.
