NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS (NDC) MOURNS WITH GHANAIANS ON A DAY OF TRAGIC ROAD ACCIDENTS.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), joins Ghanaians in mourning the precious souls of several of our citizens who have been reported dead in two separate road accidents both of which occurred today, 22nd March, 2019.
According to unconfirmed media reports, about 80 people have died and several injured in both gory accidents which occurred at Ekumfi Dunkwa in the Central Region and on the Techiman-Kintampo road in the Bono Region. The gut-wrenching details that have emerged from the two scenes have left us shocked at the scale of the two tragedies.
The NDC joins the rest of Ghanaians in expressing our heartfelt sympathies and commiserations to the families of the departed. We pray that the good Lord grants a peaceful repose of their souls and strengthen their loved ones in this time of unspeakable grief. We also wish all those who have sustained various degrees of injuries speedy recovery.
While we mourn the dead and sympathize with the injured, it is important that we bemoan the increasing spate of road accidents that continue to claim able-bodied and irreplaceable lives in the country. We appeal to government and the National Road Safety Commission to take urgent steps to address this disturbing phenomenon.
Signed.
SAMMY GYAMFI
NATIONAL COMMUNICATION OFFICER, NDC

Eeeeiiii! Ewiase paa ni! ndc commiserate with the people of Bono East for the lost of lives through an accident! really? where was ndc when Wasiu their own member of their task force was gun down at their office in Kumasi or that life didn't matter? how can you people be so wicked like that? I'm saying this because I never saw the ndc coming out to condemn and mourn with the family, until that Lebanese bastard Yamin said the unthinkable when ndc came out to disown him! I'm just asking how many ndc national executive members went to Kumasi to mourn with the family but they are mourning those they don't know just because of votes.Shame on you! ,shame on you! if because Alhaji Dr Bawumiah has sent out a message of sympathy to the bereaved and injured so ndc are also coming out to emulate him then another shame on you ! hypocrites and double standard, you want somebody to think before you copy then that's a lazy way to manage a political party. Ndc need kritical thinkers and not kritical insults and disrespectful arrogants.
