NRC Is Biased - CPP
...main objective of the gov't is to destroy the NDC
THE Convention People’s Party (CPP) has condemned the work of the National Reconciliation Commission (NRC), describing its work as biased.
According to the party, the work of the commission has confirmed that the government is creating an unnecessary tension in the country, instead of reconciling the broad masses of the people.

The Chairman of the Political Affairs Committee of the party, Dr Abdul Gamel Nasser, said this when he and the National Chairman of the party, Dr Alhassan Abubakar, met with the Eastern Regional members of the party at Koforidua.
Dr Nasser pointed out that even though people have the right to know the dark chapters of the country’s political history and the need to be reconciled, the approach the commission is using is fraught with inconsistencies.
According to him, there are cases against the United Party tradition in the 1960s which should have been heard by now, but the commission has chosen to hear only those of the revolutionary and the PNDC era.
“The main objective of the government , “ according to him,” is to destroy the NDC party,” adding that if this happens, the CPP may be the next target.
He, therefore, called on members of the party to be on their guard and be ready to defend the cause of the CPP at all times.
According to him, the government has abandoned its policy of zero tolerance for corruption which it promised Ghanaians two years ago.
He said the Kufuor administration is rather protecting its functionaries and prosecuting others, which, according to him, is raising a lot of doubts about the integrity of the government.
Dr Nasser said the country is facing crises of unimaginable proportion owing to the inability of the government to fulfil its promises.
He further expressed concern about the government’s over-reliance on foreign financial assistance which he said, is rather crippling the country’s economic development.
Explaining further, the National Chairman of the CPP, Dr Abubakar Alhassan, pointed out that there are other effective alternatives by which the country can solve its economic problems without relying on foreign donors, adding that when given the chance, the CPP will make this happen.
