National Organizer of the ruling New Patritic Party (NPP), Sammy Awuku has said that the NDC is exhibiting more signs of incompetence even in opposition.
According to him, leadership of the National Democratic Congress are refusing to look for other alternatives to raise funds for the party’s internal elections.
Speaking on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that as a party they should be able to raise funds with their brand rather than trying to burden flagbearer aspirants with the cost of organizing an internal election.
According to him he feels the party is not being fair to the aspirants because as a party, raising funds should not be at the mercy of poor party members, and that the party with all its resources should be able to raise funds not only for internal elections but also for other external party activities that will require funds.
"This clearly shows that the NDC is not only incompetent in power, they are equally incompetent even in opposition," he added.
The New Patriotic Party has various ways of raising funds for the party. Ideally as a party, we all have ways of raising funds to support our party activities and that the New Patriotic Party will not burden our party members who aspire to lead the party in what ever form with the sole responsibility of providing cash for the operations of the said activity.
The cost of filing fees to contest as flagbearer for the National Democratic Congress has raised some criticisms from some aspirants and other members of the party.
NDC flagbearer Race: Rawlings Expresses Concern Over High Filing Fee
Former President Jerry John Rawlings has expressed concern about the whopping increase in the filing fee for the presidential primaries of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and called on the party’s National Executive Committee to take a second look at the decision.
The Founder of the NDC cautioned that certain actions or decisions could either be a reflection of the circumstances of the NDC’s birth or “mark a departure from where we are coming from as a party”.
“I doubt if anyone of us who has served with integrity, relying on our salaries can raise these filing fees unless we engaged in some unethical behaviour while in office; Unless we abused or misused our positions during our tenure,” the founder said.

Mahama always want things in a silver platter. Conniving with Ofosu Ampofo and Asiedu Nketia to rig the flagbearership will cost NDC dearly in 2020.
***barred word***,did npp charge 50 GH for their aspirant in 2018,hyppocrite.
And what are you exhibiting? Is it the closure of opposition banks or the closure of indigenous businesses or the killer taxes or the high level of stopidity being exhibited by this NPP government. Massa, " tax tax tax tax tax tax tax, is a clear sign of stopidity and incompetence on your part. And you have the audacity to take bribess from foreigners and give them tax exemptions through Parliament. How come you give foreign companies who are steeeling your gold, oil, timber and bauxite tax exemptions? And at the same time tell us that taxes build great nation. Is this competence? The Chinese did not make their fortune from taxing the poor Chinese, they became rich by taxing the Europeans. Mind your business, your ship is sinking!
SAMMY AWUKU I BEG TO TELL YOU THAT YOU WOULD SOON BE A LAUGHING-STOCK BECAUSE YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND THE MODALITIES OF RAISING FUNDS FOR A PARTY. CAN YOU CONFIRM OR OTHERWISE THAT YOUR PARTY WHILE IN OPOSITION AT THE TIME FORCED TRADERS IN OKAISHIE, ABOSO-OKAI, AND KUMASI MAGAZINE THROUGH THEIR LEADERS TO CONTRIBUTE TO SPONSOR YOUR PARTY SO THAT WHEN YOU COME TO POWER YOU WILL GRANT THEM SOME TAX BENEFITS OR INCENTIVES INCLUDING SOME IMPORT BENEFITS WHICH IS CURRENTLY PUTING THE GOVERNMENT AND THESE TRADING BODIES AT "NECK-THROAT" CONFLICTS? DID YOUR PARTY CONSIDER THESE PEOPLE AS POOR GHANAIANS BEFORE TAKING THAT DECISION IF THE ALLEGATION IS CONFIRMED OR REALLY TRUE? I HOPE YOUR ARE NOT GOING TO FOLLOW SNOW-BALL BAWUMIA IN MAKING WRONG ALLEGATIONS THAT NDC IN COMPETENT AS TO FINDING WAYS TO RAISE FUNDS. NDC HAS BEEN RUNNING ITS OWN AFFAIRS SINCE 1990 AS A PARTY AND EVEN WHEN THE WENT INTO OPOSITION IN 2001. NDC IS RATHER MORE INNOVATIVE IN HANDLING ITS INTERNAL AFFAIRS THAN THE OVER-AGED ELEPHANT THAT IS ALWAYS MORE THAN CONFUSED EVEN BEFORE THE BIRTH OF NKRUMAH AND HIS CPP PARTY. JUST BE QUIET IF YOU ARE NOT SURE OF WHAT TO SAY, ABI
Sammy organizer one BAM! VERY WELL SAID, ndc is very very INCOMPETENT led by the INCOMPETENT ONE. How can you burden party members so much for your party organization/fundraising why? So if the angry eight don't pick forms and file them can you ndc get money to organize the election for only the two aspirant? What a nonnssensse? Well no matter how it is decent Ghanaians are saying like the Jews said NEVER AGAIN to ndc. NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU, NDC YAAMUTU
Even u Sammy Awuku was able to by 200 motor bikes. You see ur clown face
They will REMAIN in OPPOSITION for a very LOOOOOG TIME. That is where we want them to be! NDC, they can't think far!
Cheep polities. Sammy if you don't have anything to say just keep quiet or you want people to hear your voice. Use your competency to alleviate Ghanaians from hardship that Nana Addo and his supper incompetence have subjected the good people of this country to.
Freddie Blay bought 275 buses for constituencies, where did he get the money from? Politicians are just Kriminals
Is better to be incompetent than super incompetent. Hypocrite, so is Okay for one person to buy 275 buses worth billions of Ghana cedis than for a party party to raise funds through filing fees. Even you can buy 200 motor bikes worth more than 4 billion old ghana cedis more than GH¢420,000 NDC is charging it presidential aspirant.
