Nana Konadu urges Ghanaians to check government appointees

Nana Konadu Agyemang-Rawlings

The former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings, has appealed to Ghanaians to form pressure groups to check the activities and operations of district chief executives and other persons occupying public positions.

She said it was only through that that Ghanaians would realize their development needs, aspirations and hopes.

Nana Konadu was addressing some constituency executives, supporters and sympathizers of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Upper West Region at Wa on Thursday.

She said she was in the region to express her gratitude to the people, especially delegates of the NDC, who were at Sunyani for the NDC congress.

The former First Lady, who contested the primary and lost, refuted an allegation that the government had provided her with $5 million to revamp the Nsawam Cannery.

She said it was not also true that government offered her five ministerial positions and cash, explaining that such lies were intended to destroy the image and reputation of the Rawlings family.

Nana Konadu said she would not change and she would always stand firm by the principles that gave birth to the NDC such as probity, accountability, social justice development of the country and individuals.

Mr. Kofi Adams, spokesperson for former President Jerry John Rawlings, said a home that had no elders to correct mistakes of children would not stand the test of time.

He said some people were going round peddling lies that former President Rawlings had the intention of defecting to the New Patriotic Party and asked whether such pure lies would not help sway supporters to the NPP.

He appealed to Ghanaians, especially supporters of the NDC to turn out in their numbers and register when the Electoral Commission begins the new registration exercise.
