Even before we officially see the Kwesi Botchwey report, the ruling New Patriotic Party ( NPP) government seem to have more details concerning the report than many other Ghanaians. One of their communication officers from Sissala West in the Upper West Region Mr. Abass Karim has said that, the leaked Kwesi Botchwey report did not recommend unity walk but rather recommended a unity tour. He insisted that the opposition party has implemented the report very wrongly, saying that it is not only the ten regional chairmen who have engaged in this illegality in their own party but the whole party led by former president John Mamaha started it when they wrongfully engaged in the unity walk. He also argued that, regarding what the regional chairmen did, there where two conflicting schools of thoughts. While some in the party like Kofi Adams and co supported the walks, others such as Rockson Adei think the action was wrong and they must be reprimanded.
Mr. Abass remarked that he supports the position of those who said it was wrong because they said those who were arguing in that direction were making reference to their party constitution. He said the other side who thinks their action was right never mentioned their party constitution, Mr. Abass was responding to the actions of the ten NDC regional chairmen who openly called on the former president to consider coming back to lead the party. He also touched on the controversy between the former president John Mamaha and vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on the Ghana Post GPS saying that the vice president hit the nail on the head when he responded to the former president in like manner. Mr. Abass also commented on the rosewwod issue, presiding member confirmation and the budget to be read on Wednesday by finance minister.
Mr. Abass was speaking on a Tumu based radio station Radford FM on a program called news review, a program hosted on every Saturday that highlights all the major issues of the week. He said that he thinks his government will work to create jobs for the jobless youth in the country.
