NDC youth must be vigilant -Iddrisu

The National Youth Organiser of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu, has implored the youth of the party to be vigilant at the polling stations on polling day.
This, according to Mr Iddrisu, would ensure that the elections took place peacefully devoid of any rigging or fraudulent electoral practices by any political party.
He said nothing should prevent NDC supporters from keeping an eye on the ballot boxes to ensure that the elections were conducted peacefully and successfully.
Mr Iddrisu stated this at the first national youth summit of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at the National Theatre on Thursday. It was on the theme “A change we can trust”.
The Deputy General Secretary of the NDC, Mr Elvis Afriyie Ankrah, called on the youth in particular to abide by all the rules of voting in order not to disrupt the voting process.
The Director of Communications of the NDC, Ms Hannah Tetteh, said the NPP had failed to give jobs to Ghanaians and that the rule of law was only important to the NPP when it was in opposition.
Hannah Tetteh said the various Presidential Initiatives, particularly the cassava project, had been a fiasco, and that the NDC had better policy options to offer Ghanaians.
She gave the assurance that an NDC government would revamp all the factories that had collapsed and generate employment for the youth.
On Education she said when the NDC came to power all polytechnics in the country would be awarding degrees instead of diplomas.
Mr John Mahama, Vice Presidential candidate of the party, said an NDC government would use state resources judiciously for the benefit of Ghanaians.
He said “If ex president Rawlings wanted to build a presidential palace, he would have built three of them,” but for prudent utilisation of scarce resources there was the need to channel resources into other social interventions.
Speaking at the youth summit, the fomer President of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), Dr Omane Boamah, advised the youth of the party to be wide awake to prevent any form of cheating on December 7.
The former NUGS President said when the NDC came to power it would improve the health sector.
He added that inadequate infrastructure in our hospitals would be addressed, as well as salaries for health workers.
Dr Omane Boamah said the Attah Mills led administration of the NDC would institute a National Youth Training and Employment Programme.
He said the National Health Insurance Scheme would be revived to make it easy and accessible to all Ghanaians.
