Do not forget that we have ten regions; the only region that has its own regional office is Northern region. If they will burn their office down, if regional executives will be on boycott of party activities, if party persons are threatening to leave your party in your stronghold then you are in very serious trouble. Then people who have managed affairs have not done what is expected of them.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Kofi Adams opines that the onus lies on the party to make sure that the trend is reversed to save the party. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you are not protecting what you already have, how can you add more? So there is the need for NDC to look into itself and ask itself what it must do to be able to give hope to the people so that the people can then be energized to want to get out there again to work to add numbers\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Kofi Adams who also is the Deputy General Secretary of party has questioned why some constituency executives have been directed not to meet the Former President.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Rawlings is expected to pass through the Ashanti Region to Accra after his visit to members of the Andani family in Tamale. However, there are reports that the constituency executives in Kumasi have been asked not to meet up with him should he visit.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Adams says the directive brings to the fore so many questions as the constituency executives were the same people meeting with the Former President prior to the 2008 elections, asking, \u201cwhat are we running away from?\u201d   <\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat has anybody got to hide that he does not want the people to encounter with the truth? The same constituency executives were the one who were meeting President Rawlings when we were campaigning so who is now afraid of the truth, that he would ask them not to meet him?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we should begin to ask ourselves, what are we running away from? Have we done what is expected of us as a government? Have we maintained what we had and are we working to add to it? If we have done all these, why are we afraid that people should have an encounter with the truth?&#8221; he quizzed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/04\/201ed65bget.media_321-150x90.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here is the original post: <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Aide to Former President Rawlings, Kofi Adams says the National Democratic Congress is in \u2018serious trouble\u2019 with recent developments following the discharge of 15 accused persons charged with the killing of the Ya Na.
