(DFP helps reduce political temperature)
THE Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) has helped to reduce and continues to lower the political temperature of the country since its entry into the country’s political scene last year, the National Chairman of the party, Alhaji Abdul Rahman Issaka, has said.
He said the DFP was able to achieve this by the moderating role it had played in national politics since its entry into the country’s political arena, saying before that time the country’s two dominant political parties were always at each other’s throat, a situation which kept the political temperature high.
Alhaji Issaka was answering questions at a press conference the party held as part of the first anniversary of the formation of the party. A reporter had wanted to know from the national chairman the achievements the party had chalked up since it burst onto the political scene a year ago.
He said the DFP had achieved a lot, especially by way of establishing structures at the national, regional and constituency levels.
Alhaji Issaka also said other political parties had now been encouraged to enter the political arena because they now saw a level playing field.
The DFP, he said, also came out with its views on national issues, including the proposed sale of the Agricultural Development Bank (ADB), which had made Ghanaians to see the difference in the opinions expressed by all the political parties.
With regard to how the DFP could become a third force in national politics, Alhaji Issaka said the core votes of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Party (NDC) in the 2000 and 2004 elections were between 35 and 40 per cent.
“These core votes have reduced to between 25 and 30 per cent, which means there are about 60 per cent of the core votes out there for grabs. No single political party can win the 2008 elections outright but it is our objective to achieve that,” he said.
On why the DFP seemed to be aligning itself to the NPP and always criticising the NDC, Alhaji Issaka said alliances were very important for Ghanaians and that one needed to know his friends in order to form alliances. He stressed, however, that the DFP had not decided on the formation of any alliance with any party and that “we are gunning to lead”.
He added that if the need arose for the DFP to enter into any alliance with any party, its congress would decide.
He also stressed that the NDC was not in power for the DFP to forge an alliance with it.
“It is the NPP which is in power and we are saying that we are going to take power from the NPP,” he stressed.
He stressed further that the DFP took the NPP on on all issues.
A patron of the DFP, Dr Obed Yao Asamoah, said on the two occasions that he had said something which the media perceived to be critical of the NDC, he had talked on various issues and criticised the NPP as well, but the media, for reasons best known to themselves, decided to highlight his criticism of the NDC more than others.
Dr Asamoah said he spoke on issues such as the over liberalisation of trade, which had aggravated the level of poverty in the country, and the need for a green revolution which the government was not prosecuting enough.
In answer to a question concerning the whereabouts of the DFP newspaper, “Freedom News”, the Deputy General Secretary of the party, Mr Bede Ziedeng, said the DFP did not own any newspaper.
Touching on the party’s achievements, Mr Ziedeng said it expressed its opinions on national issues and the quality of contributions it made at Inter-Party Advisory Committee (IPAC) meetings and workshops and seminars on good governance helped to enrich the decisions arrived at.
“Our achievements may not be structures or property but ideas. Politics discusses issues and what we discuss may sound unpleasant to some people or might affect some people but basically we discuss principles intended for Ghanaians to know that there is a party with a difference.
“Ours is not politics to beat up colleagues or fight one another — we discuss issues for people to have a change of heart,” he said.

attitudinal change
(Ghanaians need attitudinal change - Sai Cofie)
THE Minister for Information and National Orientation (MINO), Mrs Oboshie Sai Cofie, has stressed the need for a dramatic attitudinal change in the entire Ghanaian citizenry for accelerated development.
She said, as the government played a facilitating role in behavioral change, each individual must also contribute his or her quota to the drive towards change of attitudes.
Mrs Sai Cofie was addressing students of the Legon Centre for International Affairs (LECIA) as part of a series of weekly lectures on the theme: “Citizens Input Towards Attaining Easier Socio-economic Development” at the University of Ghana.
She described the participation of the citizen in the country’s socio-culture development not only as a constitutional issue but also a political right since the 1992 Constitution empowered the people to take the destiny of the nation into their own hands.
The minister expressed the government’s belief that the constitution must be the starring point for any discussions on citizens participation in policy formulation and socio-economic development, adding: “citizen’s participation is an integral part of Ghana’s democratic process”.
She, however, cautioned the people not to take the current democratic dispensation for granted because people fought for it. She reminded Ghanaians to help sustain the democratic dispensation by making efforts to understand the constitution and promoting the various rights and responsibilities that came with it.
Mrs Sai Cofie expressed the belief that the people would fully participate in the socio-economic development of the country, if existing mechanisms for ensuring quality of life in “respect for all citizens in this country” were enforced.
She said the MINO was aware of the key role education played in the implementation of coherent and forceful political systems, social, cultural and moral reforms through which it hoped to achieve positive results on the National Orientation Programme.
Touching on gender parity, the minister said women representation in national affairs was increasing at all levels of governance including the district councils, parliament and the cabinet and called for its inclusion in the school system to instil confidence and knowledge in all children.
Mrs Oboshie Sai Cofie said the media constituted the most important channel through which the people could voice out their feelings and that “Ghanaians have enjoyed unprecedented freedom of information and expression over the past six years”.
She said giant strides had already been made to pass the Freedom of Information Bill into law, and that other legislations were also being considered to strengthen the public communication sector to make the media even more accessible to the people.
Mrs Oboshie Sai Cofie explained that the five pillars of the National Orientation Programme, which addressed much wider concerns, covered every facet of life, and were meant to accelerate development.
A former diplomat, Ambassador Kobina Sekyi, called on Ghanaians to take responsibility for their actions since that was the only way to create a disciplined society.

Oquaye (pol)
A Presidential aspirant of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Professor Mike Oquaye, has allayed the fears of the party faithful that the party might come out of its December congress divided because of the large number of aspirants who want to lead the party to next year’s general election.
He said the danger of the party coming out divided was only possible when there were only two contestants in the race and who might fight tooth and nail to win,and the loser not willing to concede defeat.
Prof. Oquaye said this when briefing the press after filing his nomination to contest the flagbearership of the NPP at the party’s national headquarters yesterday.
He said what was happening in the NPP was not a quantitative contest but a qualitative one.
Prof. Oquaye said the NPP was a party of destiny which needed Ghana and Ghana also needed it.
“The party believes in democracy, good governance and fairness. That is the tradition which Dr Danquah and Busia fought for and which we have to protect even with our lives”, he said.
He thanked the General Secretary of the NPP, Nana Ohene Ntow, for the that the establishment would be fair to all the aspirants and would ensure transparency in all its processes, calling for the constant vigilance of all to ensure that the party remained united.
He reiterated his vision to prosecute his campaign on issues and development strategies that the country needed to adopt to become prosperous just as those other countries out there did to become industrialised economies.
He said he would indegenise everything from health, education, industry etc. because the country could not continue to wear dresses made by others and import almost every conceivable commodity and item needed in the country.
We have to produce them ourselves, he said, adding that employment would not come by itself unless it was created.
He said when he was the Minister of Energy he ensured that no cables were imported into the country when there were companies at Tema which produced those items.
According to Professor Oquaye, by that policy those workers which the companies had retrenched were brought back because the factories were in business.
He gave the assurance that under his administration there would be real development. Professor Oquaye went to the NPP headquarters, accompanied by his wife, Alberta, with many of his supporters wearing yellow T-shirts embossed with his effigy,amidst dancing to brassband music.
The General Secretary of the NPP, who received the mandatory bank draft of GH¢25,000 (¢250 million) and other accompanying documents, gave the assurance that the party would be fair to all the aspirants to ensure transparency in all its processes.
We shall be professional and efficient as well in the performance of our duties, he said, and added that with the very good performance of the government it was just prudent that it did everything well for Ghanaians to retain the party in power.

‘Name new municipality after Gbawe’
THE Chiefs and people of Gbawe have expressed their dissatisfaction with the intention to name the newly created municipality after Weija instead of Gbawe.
They said Weija had the advantage to be an area council and at the same time a constituency and that it was time Gbawe had a fair share of the national cake by having the new municipality named after it.
This was contained in press release singned by the Secretary of the Gbawe Katei Family, Mr Solomon Afutu Quartey, and issued in Accra on Thursday.The release said the population of Gbawe as of the year 2,000 stood at 28,950 while that of Weija was less than 10,000.
Besides, Gbawe is one of the best performing customary land secrtariats in the country under the pilot project of the Land Administration Project (LAP) of the Ministry of Mines, Lands and Forstry.
It said many areas went there to understudy their strategies in achieving the objectives of the project, which was a clear indication of how well the decentralisation exercise was gaining root in the locality.
“Gbawe area, moreover, has vast communites such as Mallam,New Gbawe, Awoshie, Anyaa, Kpabobo, Oblogo, Djanman, McCarthy Hill, Odorkor Tsuim, South Odorkor, Gbawe Otodjor, Gbawe Koo enyonaa, Akokorfoto, Gbawe Gon Kpataa, Gbawe Kpeehe (Kaneshie First Light) and many more,” the release said.
The release said Gbawe, as it were, had made tremendous contributions to the society which included the recent release of land for the construction of the proposed municipal assembly and a senior high school in the area, among others.
“The area also covers a wider acreage and had enough land for the construction of social amenities like schools, hospitals, markets, and road networks as compared to the Weija community, which has very limited available land for development, “ the statement said.
It added that one would realise that the Gbawe area was very large and judging from the look of things, it would be more appropriate if the new municipality was called the Gbawe Municipal Assembly instead of the proposed Weija Municipal Assembly.
They release said if their request was not granted, Gbawe and all communities that were under it would not be part of the newly proposed Weija municipality.

end of hate politics
November 10, 2007
Story: Boniface Ablekpe
Certain events, signs, personalities and dates that influence the political governance of the country indicate that the present partisan politics of hatred being practised in the country will soon come to an end.
In its place will be a divine political system to be known as demotheocracy with six political parties taking turns to govern the state.
Dayee Dauda Abubakari Ayaaba, who styles himself as one who does the work of prophets but is not a prophet has predicted.
He noted that when the divine political system takes root the country would be very much united because the monopoly of politicians as the sole rulers of the country would have been broken. Besides, he said it is God’s plan to Ghana as a blessed nation to direct Africa towards a divine political system and that the youth of today “must not carry the hatred and curses of their fathers and grandparents into their life”.
According to Mr Ayaaba, Ghana was a very strong nation by 1947, with a united leadership but got divided two years later in 1949 with the emergence of the Convention Peoples Party (CPP). That was the genesis of the partisan politics of hatred under which one side of the political divide was led by Dr Nkrumah and his CPP which ruled for nine years.
He said the CPP’s reign was completed by Dr Limann who ruled the country for 27 months and thus brought the CPP’s rule to a total of 11 years.
The other side of the political divide, which he mentioned as the UP tradition had their chance to govern the country in 1969 under Dr Busia. The tradition ruled for about 27 months before being toppled and President Kufuor has come to complete the reign.
Mr Ayaaba said the forces that brought about this have all ruled the country and this should mark the end of the hatred in partisan politics for Ghana.
“Coming after the hate partisan political system will be the divine political system with six political parties each of which will take turns to govern the country.
He said the first sign that characterised the partisan politics of hatred was the Solar eclipse of 1947 which marked the end of an era and the beginning of another -the era of colonisation and the beginning of the black man’s rule that brought about the hatred in partisan politics.
According to Ayaaba, the solar eclipse of 2006 again signified the end of the hatred in partisan politics, and that the beginning of the divine political system called “Go Scrip” in which each letter stands for a particular message or sign.
The new system, he said, would be under the inspiration of God the creator of all and made up of the ordinary people and opinion leaders, the security services and student leaders, chiefs and civil servants, religious leaders and the rich intelligentia and industrialists as well as professionals and politicians.
He urged Ghanaians to beware of these groupings in order for them to identify themselves and pick their leaders to contest leadership positions.
Mr Ayaaba mentioned former President Jerry John Rawlings as one of the greatest personalities in the divine political system.
“J.J. Rawlings is the divine leader of Kukrudu (NPP) but was not recognised by the people he came for and he not recognising them, thus making it impossible to induce a reconciliation between him and the sitting President and the NPP.
He said it is only God Almighty, the revealer of secrets who could explain, argue, and diagnose the problem and then provide divine solutions to it.
“Rawlings became the divine leader of Kukrudu by birth. He was born on June 22, the day of the earthquake and the year of the eclipse and his duty to Ghana was to take over the central power after the reign of the CPP and hand it over to a government of the UP tradition when they are matured and has now completed his assignment.
Mr Ayaaba said God did not intend to destroy, cause chaos or rebellion in the country but rather to use the country as a blessed nation to direct Africa towards a divine political system.
“The earthquake of June 22 1939 is just the March of Six on which Ghana celebrates its independence and bestows honours on selected deserving individuals and God in his own wisdom selected Jerry John Rawlings and gave him the power of the earthquake.
“Now that he has completed his assignment he must be recognised as “God-send” and there must be automatic reconciliation between him and the Kukrudus, as God used him to make the NPP’s reign possible”.
According to Ayaaba, the divine democracy would complete and give real meaning to the definition of democracy as defined by Abraham Lincon - government of the people by the people for the people” adding that God has in his own wisdom chosen Ghana to give real meaning to democracy through demotheocracy.
Mr Ayaaba said the year 1844 remained a major date in the history of Ghana. The purpose of God bringing the whites into Africa was to give us boundaries and allowed slavery to take place for those in the Diaspora to come down centuries later to help change Africa, their mother continent with their expertise.
Presently, he said blacks are playing dominant roles in sports and are doing well in academia.

“Rawlings became the divine leader of Kukrudu by birth. He was born on June 22, the day of the earthquake and the year of the eclipse and his duty to Ghana was to take over the central power after the reign of the CPP and hand it over to a government of the UP tradition when they are matured and has now completed his assignment.
Mr Ayaaba said God did not intend to destroy, cause chaos or rebellion in the country but rather to use the country as a blessed nation to direct Africa towards a divine political system.
“The earthquake of June 22 1939 is just the March of Six on which Ghana celebrates its independence and bestows honours on selected deserving individuals and God in his own wisdom selected Jerry John Rawlings and gave him the power of the earthquake.
“Now that he has completed his assignment he must be recognised as “God-send” and there must be automatic reconciliation between him and the Kukrudus, as God used him to make the NPP’s reign possible”.
According to Ayaaba, the divine democracy would complete and give real meaning to the definition of democracy as defined by Abraham Lincon - government of the people by the people for the people” adding that God has in his own wisdom chosen Ghana to give real meaning to democracy through demotheocracy.
Mr Ayaaba said the year 1844 remained a major date in the history of Ghana. The purpose of God bringing the whites into Africa was to give us boundaries and allowed slavery to take place for those in the Diaspora to come down centuries later to help change Africa, their mother continent with their expertise.
Presently, he said blacks are playing dominant roles in sports and are doing well in academia.
