Aseidu Nketia Buys 370,000 Pound House In The Uk Why?

The Forum for Probity and Accountability and concerned supporters of the of the NDC in the UK appeal to President Mills and the executive of the NDC, to investigate the purchase of a five bedroom house in Perivale, an area west of London by the General Secretary of our party, Mr Johnson Aseidu Nketia who is currently in London attending the opposition Labour Party Conference in Liverpool.

Credible information attests to the fact that one of the reasons he really came to the UK was to finalise payment and secure the keys to the house, which has a very large garden .

At a time that our party is preparing for parliamentary elections and seeking funding to complete projects and fulfil our Better Ghana agenda, it is baffling that our general secretary to spend this huge some of money to pay for a house in the UK. what message is he sending to party members and Ghanaians?

More often than not Ghanaians especially party members in the UK are struggling to keep their jobs due to the recession in this country. We have hundreds of our members who are not even working, yet they attend meetings, pay their dues are sometimes even expected to go and represent the party on radio. We have thousands of party members back home who are facing serious challenges. Some are expected to go and sacrifice their lives again to defend this party and campaign for our leader President Mills in 2012 because they love the party, yet our general secretary ,who even did not have the courtesy to even hold a meeting to meet some of us to discuss various concerns we have has time to meet estate agents and property developers! how sad We are tired of being made fools of in this party. We have been in power for almost three years now and we are being told to wait wait wait, how long can this go on when others are stuffing their cheeks like pigs?

We appeal to President Mills and the entire leadership of the NDC to call our General Secretary to order and deal with the rising discontent about his activities or else we and others not only here in the UK but Ghana will advise ourselves.
