Deputy General Secretary (Operations) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mustapha Gbande, has claimed that every constituency of the party currently receives GHS20,000 monthly from the presidency to support party activities.<\/p>\n
Addressing some party members in a video sighted by Citi News on Saturday, November 1, he asserted that the funds were directly sourced from the president and are used to service the party\u2019s operations across the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, as we speak, GHS20,000 goes to the constituency every month to service the party and it comes straight from the president,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
According to him, the current form of governance in Ghana is unprecedented, with a level of inclusivity and appointments that cut across diverse backgrounds.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs we speak, if you look at the forms and shapes of governance and governments that get formed, Ghana has never had the kind of government we have today. The support we got was so diverse that it didn\u2019t just come from NDC people, so you realize that at one time he will appoint one stranger into our midst,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Mr. Gbande further alleged that both party officials and their spouses have benefited from government appointments, describing the situation as unique in Ghana\u2019s political history.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf your wife was not appointed, you yourself were appointed. He did so. For the first time, regional secretaries and a few chairmen assumed the responsibility of regional ministers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He added that the trend extends across the country, with several regional and constituency executives holding government positions.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor the first time in the history of our country, if you go to the regions, about eight to nine executives of every region have been appointed into government. And if you go to the constituencies, about eight or ten executives of every single constituency have been appointed into some office of government at some level,\u201d Mr. Gbande stated<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
