The Crusading Guide

NDC sabotages Reform member?s consultancy!

In a front page splash, the Crusading Guide says the British High Commission in Ghana, has broken a contract it had with ?United News Service? a Public Relations company, because of the political view of its managing director, Mr Mije Barnor, who is in charge of press affairs of the Reform Movement, a group that broke away from the ruling NDC.

According to the paper, Mr Graham Mackenzie, Second Secretary at the British High Commission, has confirmed the abrogation of the contract. The Reform Movement is said to have alleged institutional corruption within the NDC and advocated internal democracy in the party.

It is also reported to have criticised what it viewed as vindictive behaviour of party and state officials and urged tolerance towards NDC activists with dissenting views.
