Former National Youth Organiser of the Convention People�s Party (CPP), James Kwabena Bonfeh, also known as �Kabila� has strongly criticized politicians who have been embarking on a �Thank You Tour�.
He told Kwami Sefa-Kayi on Peace FM�s �Kokrokoo� that he does not see why a �thank you tour� should be organized �for a period of time� purposely to thank supporters when there are other things to pay attention to (in the country).
Kabila was reacting to various �Thank You Tours� being embarked on by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) after the Supreme Court�s final ruling on the election petition case.
The NPP organized �Thank You meetings� to thank core supporters for the various roles they played in the 2012 electioneering campaign and prayers they have offered on the party�s behalf.
�Thank you tour for what; I have a problem with that in principle. Why are you going to thank the person for voting or not voting for you?� he queried.
He said politicians in general, should know when a political season is over and concentrate on other developmental issues instead of always engaging in politics throughout their lifetime.
�We must give break to our politics. It seems like throughout our lives, everything we do borders on partisan politics, but that shouldn�t be. We should bring other options than engaging in politics, politics, and politics� he added.
