Below are excerpts from an open Letter to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government of President John Atta Mills from a New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP)."Dear President Mills,This open letter was written soon after the visit of U.S. President, Barack Obama. However, I have had to revise it following last Tuesday's Meet-The-Press by the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Mrs. Betty Mould Iddrisu. It is clear that the visit of Obama to Ghana was because over the years, all the stakeholders, especially the NDC (in 2001) and the NPP (in 2009) agreed to let the will of the majority of Ghanaians prevail. I believe that Prof. Mills winning with less than 41,000 votes in 2008 was perhaps the closest on the African continent. Many of us were against the manner in which the NDC, then in opposition in 2001, screamed 'murder' when some of their leading members were put before court for 'offences relating to causing financial losses’.It is in the same vein that many of us in the NPP will not be shouting at the top of our voices when some of our leading members are taken through the due processes and sent to the courts. It is clear that given what happened to some leading members of the NDC in2001, 2002 and 2003, the burden of proof will be far greater on the NDC government than it was on the then NPP government. This is clearly to allay the fears of some persons in our party that the NDC wants to embark on a witch hunt.I must admit that even whilst in government, the attitude of certain leading members, not only Ministers, gave the impression they had forgotten that there is a law on causing financial loss.Many NPP activists strongly believe that the party's defeat in 2008 was mainly punishment against the NPP for taking Ghanaians for granted and in the main, not doing enough to disabuse the minds of Ghanaians on the perception that the NPP was allegedly corrupt.I strongly believe that the NDC government should be able to reassure informants that they will be adequately protected under the Whistle Blowers Act, the recent Muntaka case and the role of the principal accountant would deter many useful witnesses."Source: Daily Dispatch
