A former Member of Parliament for Adentan on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Kojo Adu-Asare has openly expressed frustration over what he describes as neglect and lack of support from senior party appointees, painting a picture of discontent and hardship among the party's grassroots and lower-tier members.
According to him, many ordinary members of the NDC are struggling, even as the party occupies positions of power.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM on Wednesday, June 11, 2025, Adu-Asare noted that while expectations are high, many appointees have turned a blind eye to the struggles of their comrades who helped bring the party into office. "Those who have been given appointments are expected to open up and help others who are struggling," he lamented. "But sadly, when you call them, they refuse to answer.
At least they see the missed calls, and even when they know the person who called, they don't return the call - even when they are not busy." He condemned the situation where sometimes grassroots members of the party are made to wait for hours just to see a senior appointee, only to be told the person was in an indefinite meeting. "You go and sit somewhere in an attempt to see a senior appointee, you sit for hours and then later you are told you won't be able to see the person because he is in a meeting which will not end anytime soon," he said.
