A leading member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and former Finance Minister, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, says his ‘Ahotor Project’ has been engineered to bolster and cushion the NDC financially. The project is aimed toward assisting the grassroots of the party to be economic strong with the intention to run their operations efficiently.
Addressing the management and a teeming supporter of the NDC at their Headquarters in Accra on Thursday, Dr. Duffuor reiterated the want for a well-resourced party.
“The Ahotor project is a testament to the strength of stakeholder engagement, and its credit score rests at the rank and file of the party.
All those years, you have held the fort for the party and borne the obligation of catering to the desires of your many constituents.
“Late-night calls approximately a member rushed to the hospital, days when you struggle to pool finances for party mobilization and the numerous economic burdens which come together along with your leadership as constituency executives,”
Dr. Duffuor disclosed. He continued: “To kick the NPP out of power, our NDC grassroots ought to be empowered – and to empower the grassroots, our nearby systems need to be financially and logistically resourced for the battle ahead.
This is what the Ahotor Project seeks to achieve. “The Ahotor Project is the primary out of many different projects, which might spring up for the NDC’s grassroots.” Meanwhile, the General Secretary for NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah in his statement on the occasion on Thursday proclaimed the Ahotor business project (a non-public initiative of Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, former Minister for Finance and leading NDC member) as a project that is first in records for any political party in Ghana.
The General Secretary popularly known as General Mosquito turned into speaking in the course of a party event to formally advocate and launch the Ahotor Project on the NDC Headquarters in Adabraka, Accra on Thursday.
He stated he was now no longer amazed it was Dr. Kwabena Duffuor who initiated the anciental NDC Ahotor project due to the fact he was the same Finance Minister who turned Ghana’s economic system around.
“This project is the primary of its type due to the fact that our NDC was established. We were enticing with the donor and we need to collaborate with Dr. Duffuor to shape the project thoroughly according with the party’s principles, methods and laws. This is what caused the delay in officially endorsing the project.’’
