Audio Attachment:Listen to Kweku Baako Jnr. on Peace Fm's 'kokrokoo' |
Abdul Malik Kweku Baako says the Professor Kwesi Botchwey recommendations in their report reveals the National Democratic Congress (NDC) as a "sick party" and needs urgent medical attention.
According to him, the NDC is still suffering from the rippling effects of their defeat in the 2016 elections, hence finding it difficult to coordinate their communication systems and restructuring of the party.
The Botchwey report made several recommendations to help fortify the NDC as it restructures itself to contest the 2020 elections.
Among the eight recommendations is that the party should put together "a group of credible and eminent members of our party to undertake a peace building and healing of the country".
The Editor-in-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper noted that if the NDC doesn't have any disease, there won't be any need for healing.
“It means the party is sick and needs some medical attention. So, they’re putting together some doctors to examine the party to find out if it needs a surgical operation or something else. This is a sick party. This is a party that’s ailing.
"Why do you build peace if there’s peace already? There’s something wrong in the party…They’re cracks in the party now”.
Speaking on Peace FM's Kokrokoo in relation to the report, Mr. Baako also called on the NDC to make the report public or else be prepared for it being subjected to various interpretations that will make it difficult for the party to build a defence.
He held strongly that the NDC will face a major challenge with concealing the contents of the 455-page report, saying "this is the challenge they’re going to face with the non-disclosure of the contents of the report whilst you do presentation of it. Now, having given us some recommendations, you’re going to be consistently challenged by coming out with ineffective rebuttals of things we say…
"Whether you like it or not, you’re going to be confronted with this particular challenge of people making their interpretations and deductions of the recommendations, and each time you’re confronted with that. Unfortunately, your rebuttal is not in the report or if it’s in the report; you haven’t shown us...Make the report public so that we see that indeed there’s integrity to the rebuttal”.
Read below are the recommendations contained in the report:
1. That the party puts together a group of credible and eminent members of our party to undertake a peace building and healing of the country.
2. That the party takes steps to restore the integrity of the biometric register and the expanded Electoral College.
3. We recommend that steps be taken to restore the capacity and effectiveness of the party's organs especially at the branch level where we believe these organs are the most critical because they are the party's immediate connection to the people, we are after all a truly mass party.
4. We also have recommendations on ways we can and must improve the collation of election results.
5. We also believe that steps ought to be taken by the party to reconnect itself properly to our social democratic roots and the principal actors in these social democratic roots.
6. We recommend that steps ought to be taken to strengthen research and intelligence in the party. This should involve crowding in a larger body of the party's intellectual base which has not been particularly active in the past; this will help to support the party's research capacity.
7. There are recommendations that the party will scale-up and re-invigorate its work in the area of youth organization.
8. The organization of women, we note that significant changes have taken place in the country's demographic profile and that the party ought to take notice of this and all the implications of these changes.

Take Kwaku Baako advice and build your party for 2020 or forget it and remain in opposition forever. ***barred word*** stop.
Yes, Baako will always so it just as Pratt also will always say it. But is Baako lying? What Baako is saying is the truth, better listen and do the right thing, rather than fighting him. By the way, why wants to be a member of ndc these days? This party is not just sick, it is dead on arrival. Ghanaians do not value ndc anymore. The corruption was too much. What annoys me is that they are planning to come back, and guess who they are bringing again, the same rider who failed woefully. Go ahead and put him there, and that will be a cool chop for Nana's second coming, and then Bawumia will be the next. I have never witnessed a party that has come to power to steal like Mahama's ndc. I hope gvt is seriously preparing the dockets to prosecute them so that it will be a deterrent for others too.
Worse happened in NPP and you never spoke. If pouring an acid on one is right then Kaku might be right, if accusing each others of goat briberies and pouring acids on Adam Mahama are ok then guess which party is sick. If attacking each other with cutlasses and smashing cars are alright then guess which party is sick. If delta forces invades courts and beat up appointees of Nana Ado is right then guess which party is sick. If Bugri Naabu and Otiko Djaba are not sick then guess what? I rest my case.
Kwaku baako must sshhut the hhell up.ur party was more sick than the ndc acid throwing, killing of each other and yet won an election.
kwaku baako is so predictable. nothings new, nothing productive. same old rantings
PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE WHAT KWEKU BAAKO SAYS BUT LISTEN AND TAK WHAT IS GOOD IN WHAT SHE SAYS MORE THAN AN ORDINARY MAN SAYS
Kwaku Baako, I know you will always say it asit is. And I also know that you are immune to the insults of the NDC. But the serious minds in the NDC will take your advice 'nicodemusly'. Forge ahead, my brother.
...GHANAIANS ARE DISINTERESTED IN NDC CURRENTLY.
so is this man normal. what? he is more sick than the word itself. this block headed man says what.
