The Ashanti regional communications officer of the party disclosed the executives are not necessarily against the donation of logistics to the constituencies. What they object to is what looks like insubordination on the side of the Ahotor team. Mr Abass Nuredeen said the executive in the Ashanti Region will keep the sanity of the party before all.
We are not against the provision of logistical support of any form to the party at any level, but we are of the view that the proper party structures must be followed so that the regional executive body can supervise and ensure that those resources donated are put to very good use and if you monitor the activities of the Ahotor project team, you will realize that it is not a donation to the party in the strict sense of the word because the items are not donated to the party and the party is not allowed to manage the donated items thereafter.”
An NGO is formed in each constituency consisting of five members that are mandated to manage the donated resources and whatever monies that are realized from such donations are to be paid into an account managed by the Ahotor team and this is a different kind of arrangement that is unknown to the party. Abass Nurudeen cited.
Mr Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, in August 2022, also criticized the Ahotor project. General mosquito described it as a betrayal of the ideals of the NDC. Dr Kwabena Duffour is a respected man in the NDC fraternity.
