Ahotor project, an initiative developed by former Finance minister Dr. Kwabena Duffuor for all NDC grassroots constituents to help improve livelihoods have been launched successfully on Thursday, 23rd June 2022 at the party headquarters in Accra.
The initiative is aimed at providing equipment, canopies, chairs, and sound systems among others to all constituencies within the NDC fraternity for rentals to gain financially in return.
Speaking at the launch in Accra, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor appreciated the support extended to him by the executives of the party.
He stated that the benefits of the project are enormous and seek to provide sustainable financial support to all NDC constituencies in the country.
He disclosed that measures have been put in place within the various constituencies to sustain the project.
“The various constituencies have been tasked to set up committees which would see to the day-to-day management of the equipment and to ensure the maintenance procedures are executed,” he said.
The NDC National Chairman, Mr. Ofosu Ampofo in his remarks reiterated the need for Ghanaians and loyal party members to wholeheartedly support the initiative.
He revealed that the ‘Ahotor’ Project forms part of the party’s agenda of reclaiming total victory in the 2024 elections.
Adding that the journey towards 2024 calls for embracing everybody to come on board and pull their shoulders to the wheel so that together they will approach the election as communal labour.
He said National executives of the party have ensured that strict compliance with rules governing activities within the party is applied.
“All party systems and structures must be respected and if we are able to follow these structures I think it will be very good for all of us. So that even when the items are handled to us here at the National, our responsibility is to hand the items to the region, then to the constituencies”, he said.
On his part, the General Secretary, Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia urged Ghanaians to disregard purported speculations of some party executives aimed at masterminding the hindrance of the project.
He stated that the executives, in accordance with the constitution governing the party decided to follow due procedures to ensure the success of the ‘Ahotor’ project.
He also added that a series of meetings were held with stakeholders and donors to ensure a stable and transparent execution of the project.
Korle Klottey Constituency was the first to benefit from the ‘Ahotor’Project.
