A very reliable party executive who disclosed this to  the Daily Guide newspaper on anonymity said the money was supposed to be  shared among the 20 regional executives, with each person pocketing  GH\u00a2100. Explaining the party\u2019s decision, he said Hon. Manu since  becoming the Regional Minister, had decided not to show interest in the  party\u2019s affairs, let alone care about the welfare of its executives. He  added that the NDC executives could not fathom why the Ashanti Regional  Minister, this time around decided to dish out the money to them, hence  their decision to reject it outright.<br \/>\nGiving a vivid account of  how the money was sent to them and its eventual rejection, the source  said the executives were attending a party organized for them by the NDC  Regional Chairman, Yaw Obimpeh, when the incident occurred. According  to him, the party was held at the Excelsa Lodge at Kwamo on New Year\u2019s  Day and whilst the party faithful were having a nice time, it was  announced that the Minister had sent a package to the executives. Mr.  Obimpeh, making the announcement said Hon.<br \/>\nManu had sent an  amount of GH\u00a22,000 to the executives through the Deputy Regional  Treasurer of the Party, Evelyn Edith for them to share. The announcement  of the minister\u2019s package incurred the wrath of the NDC gurus who  accused him of totally neglecting the Party which made it possible for  him to occupy his present position. The visibly irritated NDC executives  reportedly hurled unprintable words at the Regional Minister for his  actions after which they unanimously told Evelyn Edith to return his  money to him immediately.<br \/>\nThe Minister had, since the event,  seriously denied that it occurred, and even issued a statement claiming  the reported rejection of his package was a \u201cfigment of someone\u2019s  imagination.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kofi Poku Manu, the Ashanti Regional Minister, has started the New Year on a bad note following the decision by some leading members of his Party to reject his Christmas package.
