A National Treasurer hopeful for the ruling New Patriotic Party(NPP), Collins Nuntwiri Nuamah popularly known as CNN has disclosed his intentions for the party if he’s voted for by the delegates.
Speaking on the eve to the 2022 National delegates conference on Wontumi Radio/Movement TV, he stated that ” Polling stations and constituency officers must be given the needed attention and therefore under my watch as the national treasurer of the party, we will create the Alternative Funding System(AFS). In Germany, starting from the President to the last person In government, they pay one per cent of their earnings every month into the AFS and that’s exactly what I will initiate.”
“Although every member pays dues, it’s not as effective as it should be and that alone is not enough. Hence, the President and his Vice, Chief of staff and deputies, CEOs and their deputies, MMDCEs, MPs and all appointees of the government will pay one per cent of their salaries into the fund, and this will be the welfare support system to assist constituencies and polling station officers when the need arises. The 1st and 2nd chairmen will be the managers of the fund”, he added.
He went further to say that a fund will be established for women and children of which 1500 cedi will be deducted from the fund to be given to the women organizers to support first time voters within the constituencies.
“The funds will be used to pay school fees of the targeted persons , support artisan workers within the age bracket who may need assistance as little as 200- 300 cedi to enhance their livelihood; this will help us catch them young so that by 2024, these individuals will vote for the NPP”, he indicated.
In furtherance he stressed, “under my office, I will liaise with the national NASARA coordinator and hold major fund raising in every 3 months in all the 16 regions across the country and whatever we get will be distributed to the 275 constituencies where we will create the NASARA Development Fund.
According to him, research has indicated that the NPP needs 45% vote from the Zongo caucus to win an election and he believes this initiative will help improve their livelihood and will help the party achieve its goal of breaking the eight.
