PRESS RELEASE

NPP

September 10, 2014


Constitutional and Legal Committee making rounds in the media


The attention of the National Headquarters of the NPP has been drawn to a report from the chairman of the Constitutional and Legal Committee making rounds in the media and wish to state emphatically as follows;

1.Neither the Steering Committee, National Executive Committee nor National Council has referred the matter at issue to the constitutional and legal committee.

2. In good faith and in accordance with Article 9B (5) of the NPP constitution, any report of any standing committee should duly be submitted to the Steering Committee for consideration. This was not the case.

3. Assuming without admitting that the matter was even referred to the constitutional and legal committee, they could only proffer an opinion for consideration. That opinion can only be advisory and not mandatory.

4. Publication of this unsolicited opinion on a purely administrative matter, is improper, an anomaly and a gross abuse of due process in our party.



We urge all to disregard the said publication with all the contempt it deserves.

Exchanges on Mother Tongue as tool for teaching basic grades

Commentary, Sept 08, Ghanadot - I am not averse to starting a child in a mother tongue. But which one is it going to be in a multi-tongue region? How do we effect comprehension in the chosen language, which may be as much a handicap to the child as the English? And since, ultimately we are coming back to the English anyway, don't you think this exercise will only be a detour?..... More
