The leadership of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) watched with disappointment Sunday's edition of the TV Africa’s political talk show, the ‘Ballot Watch’.
In that edition viewers were treated to ‘political mischief’ of the worse kind.
In the said program whose objective was to allow viewers the opportunity to access the competence of the Vice President of the Republic, K.B. Amissah- Arthur and the running mate of the NPP, Alhaji Mahamadu Bawumia, the host, A.C. Ohene, aired excerpts of the vetting proceedings of Amissah-Arthur in Parliament, and compared and contrasted it with excerpts of a deliberately planned critique of the economy presented by the NPP running mate at a lecture organized by in Accra.
The host, proceeded to ask viewers to decide as to which of the two they would be comfortable to entrust the management of the economy with.
It is the considered view of the NDC that viewers were called upon to compare apples with grapes which act was unprofessional, unfair and mischievous. The two scenarios are completely different and, therefore have no bases for any comparison.
It is our view that if the management of TV Africa expects the NDC and fair -minded Ghanaians to take the ‘Ballot Watch’ program seriously, then they should strive to improve their professionalism, fairness and political neutrality.
Signed.
Johnson Asiedu Nketiah,
General Secretary, NDC
