\"YawNPP Communications Director, Yaw Buabeng Asamoah<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has been criticised, for granting radio interviews discussing what transpired after the first meeting to discuss ways to disband party militia groups in the country.<\/p>\n

Johnson Asiedu Nketia\u2019s conduct, according to the Communications Director of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), is one that breaches trust and goes against the rules of engagement.<\/p>\n

\u201cI find it very unfortunate, that I am compelled to say this because I hear that the general secretary of the NDC has been on several media outlets purporting to say the things that happened in the room during the nearly five hours of talk,\u201d Yaw Buabeng Asamoah said.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cThat is totally below the best. That is unacceptable because it goes totally against the rules of engagement. We were told that we were going to communicate singularly through the communiqu\u00e9.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two major political parties, NPP and NDC attended the first party militia meeting which was moderated by the National Peace Council in Accra.<\/p>\n

President Akufo-Addo hopes that the two parties can, through the meeting, find ways to deal with the party militia menace which seems to be gradually swallowing the country.<\/p>\n

Mr Asiedu Nketia after Tuesday\u2019s meeting granted interviews in which he expressed the NDC\u2019s dissatisfaction at the gathering as their expectations were not met.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenerally the summary of my impression is that I was disappointed about the outcome of the meeting. My expectation going into the meeting was that the meeting was going to deal with the scope of the discussion i.e, what type of vigilantism are we talking about, and what can we discuss as part of the national dialogue.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy second expectation was that we can talk about the level of participation \u2014 who are those qualified and based on what criteria would that person participate \u2014 this was our understanding of the purpose of this meeting. But unfortunately, when we went, we could neither agree on the scope completely nor the level of participation by other stakeholders,\u201d the General Secretary said.<\/p>\n

The NPP believes the NDC scribe\u2019s decision to grant the radio interviews on the meeting was against the rules.<\/p>\n

For Mr Asamoah the NDC General Secretary should have known better because his conduct is not one a mature politician like him should exhibit.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026if we had wanted to hold the meeting in a market place, all the media were there we would have had them in the room\u2026yet they waited in the anteroom until we finished before they came in.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo how can an eminent and veteran politician like Asiedu Nketia go around saying things that are an interpretation of his own facts. He wants to impose his set of facts on the nation and it is not fair. I will not go down that lane, I will not breach trust,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He suggested that Mr Asiedu Nketia\u2019s behaviour smacks of someone who wants to intentionally breakdown the talks.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhy do you go round saying that this person said this, that person said that and this one doesn\u2019t want to do that…why can\u2019t you wait until April 29? Why can\u2019t you write to the Chairman of the Peace Council stating your reservations,\u201d he queried.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
