Prof Mills
to join CJA demo
Accra Dec.10 Ghanadot/GNA - Professor John Atta Mills, the
presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC)
in Election 2008, would participate in tomorrow's Committee
for Joint Action's (CJA) "Yewuo Demonstration".
A statement by the Office of John Evans Atta Mills stated on
Monday the party's flag bearer would be part of the planned
demonstration.
The statement said the NDC presidential candidate
"associates with the concerns of the CJA, especially the
manner in which the Kufuor led NPP administration is
managing the affairs of the state."
"It is highly unacceptable the manner in which a small
section of the populace is living in extreme opulence whiles
the vast majority of Ghanaians wallow in abject poverty."
The statement urged NDC supporters and all well-meaning
Ghanaians to pour out in their numbers tomorrow morning to
demonstrate for the NPP government to know that it was given
the mandate to better the lot of Ghanaians and not to turn
them into paupers.
"The power is yours. When the people honour you by putting
you in government then they have asked you to make life
better for the people of this country. But when the
politicians get into government and they forget the people,
and impoverish the people, politicians must know that
Ghanaians will vote them out of power."
The statement said NDC expected the people of Ghana to let
President Kufuor know that he could not preach virtue and
practice vice and that he and his NPP government should be
told that they "cannot take Ghanaians for granted".
