Presidential hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Ekwow Spio-Garbrah wants the Kwesi Botchwey report made available to members of the party at all levels to avoid defeat in the next general elections.
The grassroots of the party, he explains, must not be kept in the dark regarding the content of the report as they are major stakeholders in the party.
He continued that the grassroots of the umbrella fraternity are its basic unit and that if they are sidelined in the dictates of the report, then the party risks repeating same mistakes at the branch level which will trickle up to the national level thereby jeopardizing a potential victory for the party in 2020.
He warned that the party indeed is at a high risk of going into the 2020 elections with a broken leg, saying “unless the party comes to understand properly and thoroughly, the 2016 lost through the Kwesi Botchwey report, we will go into 2020 and probably make the same mistakes.”
The national executives of the party have refused to make details of the report public, months after it was presented to them. The report is a painstaking work by a committee set up by the party to examine what led to the party’s defeat in the 2016 general elections.
Though some media houses have made several publications, which they attributed to the report, the party has come out strongly to debunk them.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Starr News’ Central regional correspondent Kwaku Baah-Acheamfour on the sidelines of the party’s Unity Walk in Cape Coast, the former trade minister called for the divulging of the details of the report to the various branches of the party to salvage the party from further disintegration.
“It is like the NDC car is broken and we don’t know what kind of oil to be used to grease the car to make it better, then we will go into 2020 to still make mistakes.”

JM must be exposed... Lordina and Ibrahim caused our defeat...
These same kind of utterances, actions and inaction cost his presidential ambition in 2008 and subsequent dislike by the party. He has not learnt how to control his mouth and actions. Unfortunate!
Come on guys! Listen to him when he speaks. Full of energy, brains, skills, vision, determination, strength, leadership, experience, knowledgeable, love, and was born in the confederacy. He loves NDC and NDC loves him. He will win the presidency, hands down! Above all, he is from everywhere in Ghana. Fanteman born in Ashanti region, brought up in Northern region, has his origin from Western region, had his senior year education in Galand, had a twist in Volta region, schooled in the USA, worked in America, UK, Tunisia, Tanzania, South Africa, Ivory Coast, Angola, has ancestral background in Japan. What does Ghana want? He speaks, Ga, Ewe, Ahanta, Nzema, Efutu, Asante, Akyem, Agona, Hausa, Latin, Greek, English and of course, Fantse. Haba! What does Ghana want. You don't want this but what??????????????????????
@ Hanson, what do you mean by he is a Fanti? What is it about Fantis? You see how you engage in politics of tribalism? Better watch what you say.
Whether you keep the report secret or expose it, you have already lost 2020 election. Mark my words. After ....................... Prof. Mills you want to stay in power. Tofiakwa.
When did this break in the NDC Party came. We were told by the then President that NDC is MORE THAN FORMIDABLE and best Party in the country Ghana. How much more immediately after the LOST the Party sharply BREAK DOWN. As I see how things are going, the Executives has a big task. They have to remove Propaganda from their daily activities.
This man Ekow Spio Garbrah would have formed his own party if he had money like Dr Induom or Ibrahim Mahama. He has pains in him against NDC but still determined to lead the party. Joking at its best. Anyway he is a fanti man so alow him.
this man is smart he wants everyone to know how JMs incompetence and corrupt practices caused the NDCs defeat how he allowed his corrupt brother to ran this country like E&P
You can keep the report secret or make it available to the whole world, you ev!l NDC create, l00t and share party will loose again....
