NDC won’t sacrifice party to protect you – Fifi Kwetey warns officials

NDC General Secretary Fifi Fiavi Kwetey has cautioned government officials that the party will not shield them from accountability, even if it means facing jail time. Speaking on Joy News' PM Express, Kwetey stated that ministers and CEOs should be prepared for strict consequences if they violate the standards expected of them. He emphasized that the NDC would not compromise its reputation to protect individuals, asserting that true leadership lies in taking decisive action against wrongdoing, regardless of who is involved.

Kwetey's remarks followed a query about a potential World Cup visa scandal and its implications for the government's conduct. He admitted that he hadn't anticipated the administration would complete its four-year term without encountering issues. Kwetey argued that being part of a political party doesn't ensure adherence to its values, as some individuals may claim principles they cannot follow.

He emphasized that the NDC has a duty to address failures when they arise, emphasizing that the party is composed of human beings. The NDC leader also accused the NPP of concealing government misconduct, particularly during the Akufo-Addo administration. He contended that the real problem wasn't the occurrence of scandals, but rather the response to them—namely, the administration's attempts to cover them up and defend their actions.

According to Kwetey, officials serving under the NDC should expect a different approach from the party. He vowed that if any wrongdoing is discovered, NDC officials will be held accountable.
