CPP appoints Ekow Duncan as Director of Operations

The Convention People's Party (CPP) has appointed Mr Ekow Duncan, a businessman, as the Director of Operations.
He will co-ordinate schedules for all activities related to the party's 2008 electoral campaigns and work towards the establishment of a clear single chain of command for collation, synthesis and implementation of all CPP campaign activities.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, Mr Duncan said he would strive to activate the regional and constituency branches of the party as instruments of engagement with the electorate as well as the propagation of the relevant and effective policies of the CPP.
It is geared towards making the party the star performer in the economic development history of this country.
He pointed out that the surge in inflation, the depreciation of the local currency and rising unemployment had exposed the failures of the stabilisation policies that have been pursued by the P/NDC and the NPP for the past 28 years that they had been in charge of economic development and management of this country.
“Incidentally both point to "external shocks" as their nemesis which is a clear and patent admission of lack of appreciation of the peculiarities of economic development challenges in post colonial economics”
“The difficulties of the Ghanaian economy, he said, were the harmonisation of stabilisation and growth policies to reform the export, import substitution and food production and distribution sectors to strengthen the pillars of the economy”, he said.
According to Mr Ekow Duncan the unbridled pursuit of political power by the NDC and NPP and their mutual animosity posed a grave and serious threat to the peace and security of the country.
The acts of violence and interference in the registration process by the two parties are the first steps to a disputed election results in 2009. He urged the people to vote for the CPP as the "Arbiter of Peace." The CPP, he said, would respect the independence of public institutions and promote institutional governance as the true and firm foundation of democratic governance.
On the issue of whether the CPP has the requisite manpower to govern the country, Mr Duncan pointed out that the CPP tradition was the traditional majority party of the nation, which meant that there were more CPP households in this country than any other party, and that if Ghana boast a good human resource capability, then we must understand that the majority of the numbers belonged to the Nkrumahist tradition.
