Asiedu Nketia heaps praises on Duffuor

General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Asiedu Nketia has lauded former Finance Minister, Dr Kwabena Duffuor for the Ahot) initiative.

Speaking at the launch at the NDC Headquarters in Adabraka, Accra on Thursday, he described the project a novelty.

“This project is the first of its kind since our party was established. We have been engaging with the donor and we want to collaborate with Dr Duffuor to structure the project very well in accordance with the party’s principles, procedures and laws. This is what caused the delay in officially endorsing the project,” he stated.

He maintained the project was sustainable and the proceeds will go a long way to support the party’s finances as they survive on dues and other voluntary donations.

“This money could have been used in buying consumables like the NPP were distributing frozen chicken parts in the last elections. This Ahot) project is intended to build the capacity of the party structure to run effectively

It is a contribution that will support the party itself to grow, to develop its own capacity to finance its activities and I think that in that sense it is a very commendable project’,” he added.

Dr Duffuor on his part said the project has been engineered to strengthen and cushion the NDC financially.
