The Dispatch

"NDC Hunts for Reformists Within" is the banner headline of the Dispatch. The paper says where as the Reform Movement has been working hard in the various constituencies, setting up offices, finalising their contacts and delaying their expected big congress, the NDC has also decided to smoke out the Reformists within the NDC.

The paper says senior NDC officials in a chat with the Dispatch last Monday revealed that they have realised that quite a number of the MPs belong to the Reform Movement but were hedging and bidding their time. They agreed that because they are not mind readers, they could only wait for those MPs who share ideas with the Reform Movement to make the wrong move.

According to the paper, for the first time the NDC officials acknowledged that the recent ministerial shake up was an attempt to try to mess up any network the Movement would have put in place.
