Kufuor Diverts NPP Funds For jaguar

In a second front-page story the Democrate alleges that tension and emotions are high at the New Partiotic Party Head quarters following the alleged diversion of the party's funds by the flagbearer of the NPP, John Agyekum Kufour.

According to the paper, Mr. Kufour is alleged to have used the party's dollars giving to him during his recent tour of some European countries by some sympathisers of the Danquah-Busia tradition to purchase a brand new British - made Jaguar salon car for his personal use.

The paper says though the NEC of the party is yet to determine how much money was given to Mr. Kufuor in the name of the party, they have grown wild and are now considering the adoption of several motions emanating from some constituency and ward executives of the party for a vote of no confidence in Mr. Kufour at he party's next national delegates congress.
