Woooooooooooo: See NDC Updated Manifesto

It is becoming increasingly clear that the delay by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in launching its manifesto is meant to ‘steal’ some new ideas from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), hence the pressure on the presidential candidate of the NPP to release his party’s manifesto.

The pressure on the NPP is coming from some party chieftains and the NDC’s surrogate groups.

They are asking the main opposition party to launch its manifesto ostensibly to copy some of the contents and make them their own, according to inside sources.

The ruling party postponed its scheduled manifesto launch in Sunyani, the Brong-Ahafo Regional capital, last weekend because it reportedly wanted to have access to the NPP manifesto, but the opposition party has become adamant in launching its own manifesto due to the NDC’s record of ‘stealing’ ideas.

DAILY GUIDE learnt that September 17, 2016 has tentatively been arrived at but the launch might not even come off, as it waits for the opposition party to come out with more fresh ideas in order for it (NDC) to incorporate them into its manifesto.

However, the NPP says it’s not in a hurry to unveil its manifesto because of previous experience.

NDC Surrogates

Two pro-NDC groups – Strategic Thinkers Network (STRANEK) and SONETCO Institute – which claim to be socialist ideological think tanks, have been pushing the parties to release their manifestos and these are being done subtly to suit the cause of the NDC, which apparently wants to have access to the manifestos of other parties for the purpose of copying.

In a statement signed by one Nii Tettey Tetteh, STRANEK asked the parties to stop what it called the ‘feet dragging’ and release their manifestos.

SONETCO Institute, in its statement signed by one Eugene Eshun-Elliot said, “The long and loud silence from NDC and NPP on this key electoral business is regrettable and it is a big blow to our democracy, touted to be the beacon of Africa.”

NDC ‘New Ideas’

The Mahama-led NDC is said to be fine-tuning its manifesto by incorporating ‘new ideas’ but critics say they have nothing new to add except to plagiarize their opponents’ ideas.

Interestingly, the ‘new ideas’ they are purportedly incorporating are the policies and programmes that the NPP and its presidential candidate have been espousing as the campaign towards the December 7 general election heats up.

For instance, when Nana Akufo-Addo went to the Western Region and promised to create another region out of it to be known as Western North Region due to the region’s large size that hampers proper administration – the NDC Member of Parliament (MP) for Bodi, Samson Ahi, who doubles as a deputy minister for Water Resources Works and Housing, quickly said the Mahama government was going to implement that policy.
