The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has issued a stern warning to its members against fostering a culture of corruption within the government.
They emphasized that being in power should focus on bringing sustainable development to the people, rather than enriching a select few.
Speaking at the 32nd Anniversary celebration and flag raising ceremony, Mr. Fifi Fiavi Kwetey, the General Secretary, underscored the need for an NDC government to prioritize selflessness, patriotism, value for money, and accountability to the citizens.
He said: “Cadres may go, cadres may come, but the revolution of good governance, development, probity, accountability and integrity have come to stay and, therefore, the Party must be sacrosanct.
“We must ensure this Party becomes stronger and not have people in government whose thinking is how much money can we make. It must always be Ghana ahead of the Party and Party ahead of individuals,” the former MP said.
Mr. Kwetey, a former two-term Member of Parliament for Ketu South, highlighted the importance of commitment and sacrifice in achieving these goals, drawing from the example of past and present cadres.
He stressed the enduring principles of good governance, development, probity, accountability, and integrity within the party, asserting that the NDC must remain unwavering in its dedication to these ideals.
Chairman of the NDC, Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, urged party members to remain focused on winning the 2024 general election.
The NDC was formed in 1992, following a rigorous process of party formation led by Yusufu Ali, involving nationalists and revolutionists across all districts and regions.
Their efforts culminated in the acceptance of an interim certificate from the Electoral Commission on June 10, 1992, at the Art Centre, with the permanent certificate officially granted on July 27, 1992.
