IN-FIGHTING IN NDC CONDEMNED (PAGE 16, JAN 13, 2010)

A former executive member of the Sissala East constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Alhassan Batong has condemned infighting in the party in the Sissala East Constituency.
He said what was currently happening would not strenghthen the internal cohesion of the party and therefore appealed to those fanning the confusion to stop or would be exposed.
In an interaction with the Daily Graphic in Wa, Mr Batong, who is the assembly member for Nmanduanu electoral area in the Sissala East district, observed that the most important thing to do as party activists was to assist the government and its appointees to implement the “better Ghana agenda”.
He recalled that for sometime now the newly elected constituency executive of the party had been at loggerheads with the District Chief Executive, Madam Alijata Suleimana, and had called for her removal from office.
He said this development had created a rift between the DCE and the Member of Parliament of the area, Hajia Aluetia Alhassan Dubie, because the executive saw the DCE to be undermining the work of the MP.
“This is the time for us to make Sissala East better and I will advise the executives not to put undue pressure on the DCE. She should be allowed to operate freely, since she is representing the President. The Pull Him Down attitude should stop for us to move Sissala East forward in the right direction”, he added.
Mr Batong advised the MP and the DCE not to be suspicious of each other but rather work together to bring development to the people.
He called on those who were advocating for the removal of the DCE to stop, since she had so far done well.
