The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Youth League has thrown a challenge to Mr Kofi Wayo, a leading member of the party, inviting him to a national debate on his criticisms of the NPP government and also his stand on national issues.

In a letter, copied to the press, Mr Alex Quartey, General Secretary of the League, said the decision to call for a debate stemmed from Mr Wayo's previous invitation to Mr Kan Dapaah, Minister of Energy, for a debate. The letter said the decision to debate Mr Wayo stemmed from the League's desire to point out the flaws in arguments advanced by him.

It said Mr Wayo did not seem to understand the classic spirit of the liberal ideology of the NPP and what the potent energy, inherent in all individuals could do for national development. The letter appealed to Mr Wayo to accept the invitation and to defend his populist views.
