Some aggrieved members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Ofuman in the Techiman constituency have voiced out their bitterness and frustration over alleged neglect and discrimination by the current administration on job sharing.
And for this reasons they have decided to discard the party if a decision to solve their livelihoods remain stalled.
Citing instances of being sidelined in favor of individuals from other areas, the aggrieved members accused regional and district executives of seizing opportunities meant for them, despite their years of dedicated service to the party.
One spokesperson, Madam Hannah Afosah who identifies herself as a coordinator for caterers and a former woman organizer for over 15 years, lamented the lack of recognition and opportunities extended to them since the change in government.
“It’s very worrying that we’ve been neglected after campaigning for the party’s victory,” she stated. “After the government took over, the regional and district executives have taken over the roles of caterers, neglecting us.”
The group claims that people from Techiman and Tuobodom have been favored, while long-standing, active members from their locality have been left idle.
“We are therefore appealing to the government to immediately restore our jobs to us,” she asserted. “Else, we are telling President Mahama that he should forget the NDC’s continuous existence in this town.”
Drawing a contrast with the tenure of the late President Atta Mills, the members highlighted that they were previously given opportunities to work, a privilege they now claim is being denied.
They also expressed their unwillingness to accept limited roles, such as becoming cooks, when they possess resources and expertise to excel as school feeding coordinators, caterers, and patrons.
The group is issuing a clear ultimatum, giving the government a limited time frame to address their grievances and reinstate their positions. Failing to do so, they warned, would result in their disengagement from the NDC and a severing of their commitment to the party.
