Accra (Greater Accra) 3rd May ?99

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged workers to resolve to fight to achieve good governance, "which is the most essential pre-requisite for a nation's progress".

In a statement on Friday to mark May Day, the party said it was congratulating workers on their continued forbearance in the face of tribulations.

It said the party is aware that for workers in Ghana, "it is mostly woes under the current government".

"And yet the NPP believes that this country possesses the requisite resources - both human and material - to spare workers and, indeed, the entire Ghanaian population the impossible existence of the past two decades or so."

"That Ghanaian workers and their relations have to endure hard living standards is due in no small way to the bankrupt policies of a government that ironically rode on the backs of workers to power.", the statement said.
