This invitation has been necessitated by the President's call during the 2019 State of the Nation's Address, but also, by the legitimate concerns 'stressed by overwhelming Ghanaians about this menace, and the need for the two political parties to do the needful, in the interest of the nation.
You would recall that since the President made this call our National Chairman, Hon. Freddie has been engaging your good self in a telephone conversation on the subject. We think that time is now rife for the parties to hold this crucial meeting, which the nation has been looking forward to.
We have also taken notice of your request to expand the scope of the engagement to include multiple stakeholders and wish to assure you that the NPP avails itself for this consideration at the meeting which will afford the two parties the opportunity to agree on the various stakeholders to be invited in the subsequent engagements.
