With the Reform Movement making headlines this week, both the Guide and the Crusading Guide devoted their front-page banner headlines to the RM.

To be or not be, "Reform Movement undecided", the Crusading Guide intimated that it is not very clear what direction the RM is moving. It said the anxiety within political circles as to which path the Movement is treading stems from the simple fact that in spite of the mordant criticism against the NDC, the members of the leadership of the RM have not publicly renounced their membership of the NDC.

It said at a press conference last Monday, the spokesman for the group, Mr Goosie Tanoh made it clear that the "RM is a non-partisan political movement. Ghanaians have developed a deep distrust of 'politics and politicians'. A broad-based movement is necessary to mobilise ordinary Ghanaians into the political struggle to reform our national leadership and political culture".

The paper wonders if the Rm.'s statements are not contradictory.

The Guide' heading; "NDC meets at Akuse over Reform Movement" says the announcement by the RM that it will form a political party has sent shivers through the leadership of the NDC.

Last Monday, a high powered committee was set up by the NDC just after the RM press conference, to find a way of bringing the 'rebel' group back into the NDC fold, says the paper.

According to the paper sources at the NDC headquarters said the meeting took place in the serene environment of Akuse in the Eastern Region, where it was decided that a strategy should be adopted to get the Reformers back. The NDC was prepared to give out some concessions to the Reformers to get the party whole again, the source told the paper.

In another front-page story headline; "Gwarzo speaks about $5m bribe", the paper says the former Nigerian Chief Security Adviser to the late Gen. Sanni Abacha have dared General Abubakar's government to set up a probe to investigate him.

The paper quoted the "Weekend Sunset" newspaper of Nigeria as saying Gwarzo have threatened Abubakar that if he is probed over the looting of N1.3 billion, he would make very startling revelations capable of setting the country on fire.
