Kumasi,
Nov 24,
Ghanadot/GNA
– The
National
Democratic
Congress
(NDC)
said it
would
accede
to a
talk
that
would
lead to
peace
based on
fair and
just
move,
which
would
not be
only a
political
gimmick.
Mr John
Dramani
Mahama,
Vice
Presidential
Candidate
of the
NDC told
a forum
at the
Kwame
Nkrumah
University
of
Science
and
Technology
in
Kumasi
that
peace is
built
with
fair
play,
justice
and
trust.
“We all
want
peace
during
and
after
the
December
seven
election,
but the
New
Patriotic
Party (NPP)'s
call on
the NDC
to meet
it to
have
peace
talk,
looked
like a
ploy and
if the
NDC
failed
to
respond
to that
call it
would be
surprising
that the
NPP
would
use it
as a
propaganda
to call
NDC
names,”
Mr
Mahama
said.
He said
that
Professor
John
Evans
Atta
Mills
NDC
Presidential
Candidate’s
agreement
to have
peace
talk
with any
institution
was
welcomed
and that
any talk
the NDC
would
engage
in with
the NPP,
it was
necessary
that
there
should
be a
third
party as
a
moderator,
which
the two
parties
would
agree
to.
Mr
Mahama
told the
forum
organized
by the
UST
Tertiary,
Educational
Institutions
Network
(TEIN)
that
impunity,
selective
justice
and
impartiality
that was
being
given to
them
were not
anything
that
would
encourage
and
promote
peaceful
co-existence.
He said
“What is
wrong is
wrong.
But that
to have
a
situation
when one
Red
Bashiru
was
involve
in a
shooting
incident
in
Tamale
could be
released
by the
Regional
Minister,
those
who
engaged
in the
arson
and
killing
of
innocent
people
in
Gushegu
in the
Northern,
could be
moving
freely
and that
for an
NDC
parliamentary
candidate
who was
involved
in
double
registration
could be
jailed
in less
than 48
hours,
whilst
an NPP
constituency
chairman
of
Ejura-Sekyeredumase
caught
with
over 700
Voters
ID cards
was
resting
in bosom
of the
police
for over
two
months
now then
one
begin to
be
careful
of peace
talk,”.
Mr
Mahama
said
“the
December
election
was
about
issues
that
give
alternative
choice
to the
electorate
and that
for any
one who
has the
love of
the
country
at heart
would be
engaged
in
telling
lies or
producing
a
manifesto
that was
unattainable,
then the
one
which
was not
more
attractive
and
could be
implemented
should
appeal
to the
voter to
decide”.
He said
he has
on three
public
occasions
challenged
the NPP
to show
any
single
public
housing
unit
that it
has
established
any part
of the
country.
