NPP activists cautioned

.....against scrambling for appointments

The Central Regional Minister, Mr Isaac Edumadze on Sunday charged members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to rally behind the government in its efforts to revamp the nation's economy and not be solely interested in scrambling for appointments.

They should not allow the current economic situation to divide their ranks, but give constructive support to the government by pooling ideas and resources to facilitate the fulfilment of its campaign promises to the people, he said.

Mr. Edumadze made the call at a victory rally organised at Edumfa in Abura-Asebu-Kwamankese District by the constituency branch of the party.

The Minister said he was happy that the President's nomination of metropolitan, municipal and district chief executives started with the region, and expressed the hope that the nominees would be given the necessary approval and support to enable them to discharge their responsibilities.
