NPP demo exposes hypocrisy over remembrance of 8 helicopter crash victims - NDC
Rashid Tanko Computer, Deputy Director in charge of IT and Elections of the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), accused the New Patriotic Party (NPP) of hypocrisy on Wednesday, August 5, over its planned August 6 demonstration. The demonstration coincides with the first anniversary of a helicopter crash that claimed eight lives. Mr. Tanko Computer stated, "The good question is that it has exposed the hypocrisy embedded in their cry when we lost the eight people. Tomorrow is the one-year anniversary. When people died, we celebrate it solemnly and pray for them."
The NPP is set to stage the protest over what it describes as growing threats to Ghana's democratic governance. The party has cited concerns including the acquittal of former Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC) Chief Executive Officer, Sedina Tamakloe-Attionu, and what it says are the arbitrary arrests and treatment of some of its members. Mr. Tanko Computer acknowledged that the NPP has a constitutional right to organise a demonstration, provided it meets all legal requirements and remains peaceful. He questioned the timing of the protest, arguing it exposes inconsistencies in the party's stance on the remembrance of the eight victims. He added, "We are going to demonstrate with people who don't see anything wrong with that."
