The General Secretary of the ruling National Democratic Congress, (NDC) Johnson Aseidu Nketiah says the party is bound to mark June four every year as \u201cAccountability Day\u201d.<\/p>\n

Underscoring the relevance of the June 4, 1979 uprising, Asiedu Nketiah said events of that day \u201cwoke Ghanaians up to the realization that the country did not belong to the minority who then had monopolized power and the country’s economic resources. It also empowered Ghanaians to appreciate that they each had a stake in the destiny of Mother Ghana. It was this major ideal of June 4 that spirited the tenets on which the National Democratic Congress was formed and for which reason the NDC is constitutionally bound to celebrate June four every year as \u201cAccountability Day\u201d.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued Friday, the eve of the 32nd anniversary of the uprising, which event will be marked with a route march and wreath-laying ceremony in Accra and a durbar at the Jubilee Park in Kumasi, Mr. Asiedu Nketiah urged all Ghanaians to soberly reflect on the principles that June 4th espoused – probity, accountability, integrity and popular participation in the affairs of the country \u2013 principles he said are as relevant today as they were at the time.<\/p>\n

The day will be observed under the theme \u201cUnity In Diversity – Our Strength\u201d.<\/p>\n

Below is the full statement issued by the NDC<\/p>\n

STATEMENT BY THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS ON THE OCCASION OF THE 32ND ANNIVERSARY OF THE JUNE 4, 1979 UPRISING<\/p>\n

Saturday, fourth June marks the 32nd anniversary of the June 4 uprising led by junior officers of the military mainly provoked by the nasty spectacle of corruption by the then ruling class and the abject poverty of the ordinary folk in our beloved country.<\/p>\n

The events of June Four 1979 woke Ghanaians up to the realization that the country did not belong to the minority who then had monopolized power and the country’s economic resources. It also empowered Ghanaians to appreciate that they each had a stake in the destiny of Mother Ghana. It was this major ideal of June 4 that spirited the tenets on which the National Democratic Congress was formed and for which reason the NDC is constitutionally bound to celebrate June four every year as \u201cAccountability Day\u201d.<\/p>\n

As the country prepares to mark June Four, under the theme \u201cUnity In Diversity-Our Strength\u201d, the NDC leadership urges Ghanaians to work for a society devoid of all the ills that June 4 stood against \u2013 poverty, disunity, oppression and corruption.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the National Executive of the NDC, we salute all Ghanaians and indeed commend all those, who laid down their lives to check the downslide that Ghana had been plunged into before the uprising.\u201d Without doubt their gallantry had left a permanent imprint, on the politics of our dear country.<\/p>\n

As we prepare to mark the day with diverse activities, the NDC wishes that all Ghanaians will soberly reflect on the\u00a0 principles that the June Four espoused which are as relevant today as they were at the time\u201d -the principles of probity, accountability, integrity and popular participation in the affairs of the country.<\/p>\n

We must first and foremost protect our freedoms through national unity, exercising moderation in times of debate and ensure that peace is our watchword.<\/p>\n

The leadership of the NDC has directed that all branches of the Party throughout the Country commemorate this \u201cAccountability Day\u201d with events in their various regions and districts.<\/p>\n

At National level the main activities planned for Accra on Saturday, June Four, 20011 are a route march from the Kawukudi Junction at 6: am through 37 Military Hospital to the Revolutionary Square where a parade will be held. During the parade, wreaths will be laid in memory of the fallen Heroes culminating in the lighting of the perpetual flame.<\/p>\n

On the same day in Kumasi, an anniversary rally will take place at the Jubilee Park at 2:00 pm.\u00a0 .<\/p>\n

We wish to urge Ghanaians to re-dedicate themselves to the principles of June 4 and support the government to successfully implement the agenda of a better Ghana.<\/p>\n

Long Live June 4!
Long Live the NDC!
Long Live Ghana!<\/p>\n

Signed,
Mr. Johnson Aseidu Nketiah
General Secretary, NDC<\/p>\n
