The General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Justin Frimpong Kodua, has issued a stern warning to party appointees as he reveals feedback from the regions indicates a troubling disconnect between some appointees and their local constituents.
Kodua’s comments come after a comprehensive review of the Bono Region, where it was noted that certain appointees are failing to maintain effective communication and engagement with their base.
This lack of connection, according to sources familiar with this development, could undermine the party’s efforts and influence in the region.
In a Facebook post on Saturday (10 August) Kodua made it clear that if these issues are not addressed promptly, he will be compelled to publicly name the appointees involved.
“Feedback from my tour of the Bono region shows that some appointees have lost touch with their base. Don’t force me to start mentioning names; do the needful”, he stated.
Kodua’s remarks are likely to stir conversations within the party and among the public, as they highlight ongoing challenges in maintaining effective local governance and party cohesion ahead of the 7 December polls.
In 2023, the NPP Chief Scribe made a similar statement encouraging ministers, CEOs, and MMDCEs who feel fatigued to resign rather than undermine the party’s progress.
He expressed concern about the impact of certain appointees’ actions on the party’s popularity and urged those ‘tired’ to resign and make way for new faces.
“If you are tired, resign and leave so the party can retain power,” Kodua said during the party’s annual thanksgiving service at its headquarters in Accra.
“If you are a minister, a CEO or an MMDCE and you have not been reshuffled and you think you are tired resign. Don’t sabotage the party,” he added.
He stressed the importance of appointing new faces to propel the NPP towards achieving its objectives, urging the president to consider reshuffling the government for the party’s continued success.
“It is time for some changes in the government, so we get some new faces to continue. We believe that if we get new appointments, we will be able to retain power in the next election,” Kodua added.
