The Leadership of the Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) has extended season�s greetings to Ghanaians, both home and abroad, resolving to pursue the case of the $20 million office complex being constructed by the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) as its national headquarters at Adabraka.
They have also resolved to name and shame political parties whose utterances have the tendency to bring chaos in the country.
A Christmas message issued in Accra and signed by Bright Acheampong in charge of Media Relations of AFAG, said, �We indeed hope to step up advocacy next year, especially as Ghanaians prepare to go to the polls in 2012.�
The release said one most important issue, �the Woyome-gate scandal and how it has pan out after the legal tussle between the A-G�s department as well as the Public Account committee sittings and its recommendations,� will be pursued with vigour.
AFAG said in 2012, they shall perform sectoral analysis on issues bordering on Youth and Unemployment, NHIS, fishing industry and mechanized farming and tariffs (import duties, utility tariffs, and petroleum products).
They also said they would tackle the BECE examination performance, SSS placements, SHS educational structure, assess the challenges and sustainability of the Single Spine Salary Structure, wade into the tango between the Shippers Authority and the Freight Forwarders Association of Ghana, renew advocacy on the provision of quality and affordable telecommunication and internet services as well as �be very prominent on electoral issues, and the role of the security agencies in election 2012�
�AFAG shares in the pain of some Ghanaians who are unable at this moment to afford the best treat of the season, because of difficult economic circumstances. This notwithstanding, AFAG takes this opportunity as a civil society group to re-new and extend its utmost assurance to all Ghanaians of its civic responsibility of promoting the interest of Ghanaians.�
�Our heartfelt gratitude goes to person(s), the media, and all subverted organizations that assist us in our efforts to deepen multi-party democracy in our democratic dispensation as we serve as the voice for the Ghanaian in the rank and file,� the release noted.
