Anita Desoso, a National Democratic Congress (NDC) stalwart, has alleged that the party under the John Mahama have filled the Jubilee House with strangers.
According to Anita Desoso, she only knows about 10 per cent of the appointees at Jubilee House who are party members.
Speaking in an interview on TV XYZ, Anita Desoso lashed out at the John Dramani Mahama government over the treatment of members of her party.
The former Vice Chairman and Women’s Organiser lashed out that NDC members are crying over the lack of appointment, adding that strangers and the NPP members are being appointed by the government.
According to Anita Desoso, government appointments are being given to non-NDC members, citing her appointment as a board member of the National Population Council.
He further disclosed that she would have left that appointment if not for the love of the NDC, adding that other members on the board are strangers in the NDC.
Speaking in a recent interview on XYZ TV, Anita Desoso stated, “If we want to win the next election or if we want our party to continue to be strong, we must do things to make members of our party happy. But if we do nothing, assume that we (the party members) are angels, and we keep sending NPP members to where they are not supposed to be, and NDC members keep crying, I think it is not the best.
“Let me use myself as an example. I have been appointed to the board of the National Population Council… if not for God, I would have left already. I would have left already if not for God and the party”.
She added, “I don’t know any person there, and so when we go for meetings, I just sit down quietly and look at them. I don’t know where they were picked from. At least if I knew them, then we would know how to discuss issues to find solutions.”
“You can just imagine, I was late for one of the meetings, and I could not get there early. I was called later, and when I went, I was given GH¢500. What will Anita Desoso do with GH¢500? Look at the number of people I support, and I’m being given GH¢500. As soon as the money was given to me, I gave it to my driver”.
“People are lamenting, why have they taken A while B is there, who can help us? In the elections, we did not just get up to win the election; people suffered. If you like, go to the Flagstaff House (Jubilee House) and see something. When I go there, those I know are not even 10 per cent. People are already saying they are tired, they are not going to vote anymore”, Anita Desoso added.
Meanwhile, Gabriella Tetteh, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) communications team, has said the party’s future flagbearer must tell members of their formula of appointment before they decide to support them.
According to Gabriella Tetteh, at the next NDC congress meeting, they should consider a new resolution for all aspiring flagbearers to provide members with a formula for their appointments.
She disclosed that party members must know, in terms of percentage, how the flagbearer wants to appoint party members, friends and family members, the general public and other political party members, so they can also adjust how much of their time, energy and resources they give to their dreams.
In a Facebook post, Gabriella Tetteh wrote, “The next congress should consider a new resolution for all aspiring flagbearers to provide us with a formula for their appointments. % party, % members, % friends & family, % general public and % other political parties, so we adjust how much of our time, energy and resources we give their dreams. By the way, don’t come under this post to pontificate.
We’ve already been tagged as demons, so no need for the preaching. Its monday. Remember, life is what YOU make it. Cheers to a great week”.
Also, Mustapha Gbande, the Deputy General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has told the party’s grassroots that their patience will be vindicated soon.
