Appointees of President Akufo-Addo, including ministers of state and Metropolitan Municipal and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs), who will go wayward in the performance of their duties, will possibly be sanctioned by the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
The ruling political party will soon come out with a new policy that would enable it to invite, grill and possibly sanction government officials, whose actions negatively affect the government and people of Ghana.
National Youth Organiser of the NPP, Sammy Awuku, who made the disclosure on radio, stated that the NPP, which worked tirelessly to achieve political victory, will not sit aloof for any appointee to disgrace the government.
According to him, governments all over the world come out from political parties therefore it was important for the ruling political party to have powers to question erring appointees.
Mr Awuku, who is adored by the NPP youth, stated that winning election is a difficult task so the party would not allow errant government appointees to send the party into opposition again.
The NPP National Youth Organizer stressed that the party would keep government on its toes by highlighting its wrongs for immediate corrections so that Elections 2020 would be a mere formality.
“We want to build a strong NPP which will keep the government on its toes at all times so that we will deliver on our campaign promises and even do more to make election 2020 easier for the party.
“The NPP shall criticize the government when things are not going on as planned, and the aim is to help the government to always keep in line and fulfill its promises to help better the lives of Ghanaians.
“The party shall invite and grill government appointees whose actions will bring disgrace to the party and make election 2020 difficult for us,” Awuku stated said on radio.
In the western world, political parties are strong therefore they have powers to invite, grill and possibly sanction government officials whose actions tend to embarrass the government, according to him.
Awuku, who gave the warning, stated that the NPP would critically monitor and critique the inactions and utterances of government appointees to help the party win Elections 2020.
The NPP official explained that he respectfully rejected a ministerial position offered him by President Akufo-Addo so as to strengthen the party for the next elections.
“It is prestigious to be in government, it is also prestigious to put smiles on the faces of people,” he said, noting that the party has just four years to deliver on its promises.

He inspires me a lot, Honourable Sammy Awuku. Well said Senior. They need to be reminded where they came from. I didn't like the NDC for one thing: They were not performing yet very arrogant. I hope these Senior officials take a clue.
Well said Sammy kudos to you.You can never be faulted by saying this as the saying goes "Once bitten twice shy"During Kufour's era there were some NPP appointees who became so arrogant and pompous that let to the demise of NPP losing power so it is good to warn these new appointees to be humble and submissive not to lord themselves over the electorate as Sir John said being in opposition is a curse and a nightmare [BOYS ABERE]
This guy is a presidential material, I pray it come to pass one day
very soon they will say some minister don't want Nana Addo to succeed and NEC should suspend them. we ll see the minister the so called party executives will be on their toes. they ll just attack certain misniters only. they have their list.
Thanks Sammy, this caution goes not only Ministers but other party functionaries. There is this former AVIANCE personnel by the Boat tormenting people at Kotoka Airport here. I have personsonlly been a victim of his activities. He is using the first Lady's name nsulting and threatening everyone he comes across. Hmmmm.
Sammy, you have said it all, thank you. But my little advice will give to informed to Chairman Wontumi(Ashanti Regional Chairman- N.P.P) is that we have seen it that he want to set confusion in Ashanti for only his self interest. He should be careful, we have suffered before coming to power. The Bribe amounted to GHS 20,000 from some of the contestants who did not sweat and THOSE PEOPLE WHO DID NOT CONTRIBUTE ONE PENY during 2016 election and he want them to be at all cost MCE's and DCE's will not WASH!!!. Especially in Ahafo- North Constituency. I know the top NPP executives in Ashanti are not happy about his moves but they fear to say it. I am telling NPP Executives and His Excellency Nana Akufo Addo they should be careful about the selection of MCE's and DCE's because we the people in Ahafo North Constituency knew who worked hard in supported the NPP candidate Suleman Sanid before that victory came into reality. WONTUMI is a single person ooo!!! SAMMY WORK IT BEFORE IT BECOMES UNPREVENTABLE.
Massa Awuku thus why you are the admiral of the youth .God bless you and grant you the fortitude to do so.but sir my Tescon certificate is with you when should i come for it
Very soon the ministers would cut you into size. After all, what constitutional mandate does a party have to check constitutionally backed ministers. All you can do is to express your displeasure to the president to do something, but as to whether he would listen, that is a different matter. Ministers are vetted and approved by parliament and therefore the party can't do foko to them even when they are wrong. If you have any check, check your regional and constituency executives and probably you dce.
Massa Awuku, Mo ne ka. Thanks for coming out with this. We will keep them in Check basaaa
You said it all sammy awuku... Long live NPP long live Ghana
