Mfantseman West NPP holds
delegates conference
Saltpond (C/R), Nov. 29, GNA - Mr Stephen
Asamoah-Boateng, Member of Parliament for
Mfantseman West has urged members of the New
Patriotic Party (NPP) to desist from activities
and utterances that could make the government to
lose focus.
Mr Asamoah-Boateng, who is also the Minister of
Local Government, Rural Development and
Environment, stated that the government needed
peace to concentrate on its programmes to
improve the living conditions of Ghanaians and
expressed regret that some members of the ruling
party were indulging in some disturbing
activities, which could detract the party’s
attention.
The Minister was addressing the constituency
Annual Delegates Conference of the NPP at
Saltpond.
He noted that politics needed a lot of patience
and urged party members and Ghanaians in general
to reflect on where the government took over
from and where they have reached to enable them
know that it was capable of "delivering the
goods."
"We need a lot of your support and encouragement
to deliver," he advised party members.
Mr Kwamena Duncan, Central Regional Secretary of
the NPP cautioned party executives who waited
for resources from the party secretariat before
embarking on programmes to resign.
"No one forced you to contest for the position
you are holding, you know you can do the work
hence you offering yourself to be elected,
therefore I see no reason why you should let
unavailability of logistics be an impediment to
the oath you have sworn to work," the Secretary
stated.
Mr Robert Quainoo-Arthur, Mfantseman District
Chief Executive, reminded the delegates that
party members alone could not win elections and
that they needed more of the floating voters and
members of other parties to win and urged them
to woo more members into their fold.
Mr James Dennis Ehuren, Constituency Chairman,
said the best legacy his administration could
bequeath to NPP was to retain the seat it had
won for the first time in 2004.
He urged party members to pay their dues
regularly to enable the constituency to generate
funds for its activities.
Mr Kofi Aduakwa-Mensah, Constituency Secretary
said the delegates’ conference was to take stock
of their performances, identify their weaknesses
and strengths to enable them to map out
strategies to win the 2008 elections.

their campaign towards the 2008 elections.
