Press Release

NPP, October 6, 2010

 

GOVERN WITH DECORUM!

The New Patriotic Party has observed that the NDC government has adopted a culture of insults and indecent language in public discourse. Senior government officials and functionaries of the NDC have developed a habit of insulting political opponents and people they disagree with. We find this behaviour reprehensible. It pollutes the environment for national debate and hurts the country’s image internationally.

Currently, the livelihoods of ordinary people have been destroyed by the unavailability of LP Gas. Parents are anxious about the re-opening of school for SHS students. There is discontent on the labour front. Businesses (of both formal and informal sectors) are suffering because purchasing power and consumption have dropped. The list is endless. What Ghanaians are expecting from government are clear policies and measures to address the rising cost of living and worsening living conditions in the country. The NPP wants government to spell out their strategies for improving the lives of Ghanaians. We will engage them on those strategies and offer alternatives. That is the least political leadership can do for the country. This culture of insults and foul language is primitive and completely unhelpful.

The NDC misleads itself when it imagines that merely by insulting its political opponents, the electorate will think better of them and think less of those political opponents. Ghana needs contest of ideas between government and those who seek to govern; not insults.

The NPP will continue to criticise government when necessary and to appeal to Ghanaians for the opportunity to govern and improve our previous and better performance (compared to what is happening now).

We will not be dragged into this unproductive culture of insults.

Kwaku Kwarteng

Talk about symbolic manipulation

Commentary, Oct 6, Ghanadot - Thus in an eerie and unbelievable ways, the NPP has opened up two fronts in the fight for political power - one against the memory of Nkrumah and the other against the NDC.  Whether this is deliberate policy or not, the effect may not be too sanguine for this political party’s health. .
