(This is the concluding part of a letter The Daily Dispatch newspaper said was authored by an unnamed Member of Parliament of the ruling New Patriotic Party. Myjoyonline published the first part on Tuesday.
"Dear His Excellency,
Human as we are, I believe that you cannot say that you have not made some mistakes. I believe that as you hand over to an NPP President on January 7, 2009, you will look back and hit your chest, that you achieved the best for your country. As you read this piece, I believe that you have done quite well but you will be the first to admit that your government could have done much, much better.
We, the objective minded supporters of the NPP would have to acknowledge that you have a very important role to play in the success or otherwise of the NPP towards the 2008 elections. Your main focus, now, I humbly wish to submit, should be to try and minimize the creeping acrimonious campaigning among the leading presidential aspirants. You can do that, His Excellency, by drumming into some of their power drunken egos, that each of the 18 of them will be better off under one of them, definitely not under the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Your frank address at the Friday, July 27 fund¬raising dinner dance by the NPP's Okaikwei North Constituency was an indicator of your desire to ensure that all the 18 plus aspirants have a fair and level playing field. Whoever is elected in December 2007 as the party's flagbearer will have to campaign on the record you and your government have been able or unable to achieve.
For example, it is becoming clear that the National Youth Employment Programme (NYEP), launched some months ago, would have achieved better results if it had been launched some years ago, even at the beginning of your second term of office in January 2005. Many of our critics have been accusing us of claiming to 'have the men' when we were in opposition but not being able to deliver on projects. Creating jobs was one of the main issues that helped us win in 2000.
Mr. President, we have done quite well in providing infrastructural development. We must make sure these good works reflect in better accessibility to health facilities, improved standard of living and security.
Have a good weekend."
