Some National Executive members of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NPP), some government officials, in concert with some former Ministers of State who served under the Presidency of Jerry John Rawlings who are yet to come to term with the now ‘germinated presidential inclinations’ of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings are scheming to persuade her from contesting the flagbearership position of the party slated for July 8, 2011.
According to a highly-placed source within the national leadership of the ruling NDC, “both the leadership of the party and the government are so unsettled by her (Nana Konadu) intentions and subsequent resignation from her party executive position and are therefore bent on taking her out of the contest”.
Among the offers being proposed, according to the source, would be to give a company (name withheld for now) jointly set up by the Former First Lady and three of his children, some lucrative commercial and consultancy opportunities in the aviation, ports, oil and gas sectors.
There is also a proposal to increase the Ghanaian government’s commitment to facilitating and enhancing the development of the CALF Cocoa Factory jointly owned by the 31st December Women’s Movement commercial wing, CARIDEM and a private Chinese company, by requesting more Chinese government funding in addition to some appreciable level of State support for the project.
Another bait being considered, according to the source, is the possibility of deploying some National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP) Personnel to work at the Nsawam Cannery; a company Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings and her 31st DWM/CARIDEM have an interest in. The thrust of that offer, according to the source, “is that the personnel from the NYEP would work in the company but their allowances and salaries would be absorbed by the state”…0.
