The resistance National Democratic Congress(NDC ) has dismissed a greeting from the Coastal Development Authority (CODA) for it to take part in the proposed initiation of the Asomdwee Park on Sunday, July 24, 2022.
The late President John Evans Atta Mills who passed on July 24, 2012, was covered at the Asmodwee Park close to the previous seat of government, Osu Castle in the Greater Accra Region.
In a letter dated fifteenth July 2022 and addressed to the Chief Executive Officer of CODA, the General Secretary of the NDC said the party won't be partaking in the occasion on the grounds that the greeting is at the case of CODA and the Atta Mills Institute; the last option being a confidential troublesome association, notable for its creations and harmful language and which seems to have been framed to act as a vehicle for the NDC's political rivals to plant seeds of disarray in the personalities of Ghanaians and destroy the lucky tradition of late President Atta Mills.
The party said it is prepared to audit its position in the event that CODA is prepared to meet it and individuals from the late President's close family to survey the courses of action for the authorizing of the recreation area to give it the public person its merited and to guarantee it mirrors the genuine reason and viewpoint of the Asmodwee Park.
The following is the full text of the NDC's reaction to CODA
The Chief Executive
Beach front Development Authority (CODA)
Accra.
Consideration: Mr. Jerry Shaib
Dear Sir,
RE: INVITATION TO COMMISSIONING OF ASOMDWEE PARK
We have located solicitations to a service to commission the Asomdwee Park, the entombment spot of President John Evans Atta Mills who kicked the bucket in office on July 24, 2012.
The solicitations are for the sake of an Atta Mills Institute and the Coastal Development Authority (CODA) "under the recognized support of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo".
We expect CODA to be the subsidizing organization for the repair of the Park whose said dispatching is scheduled for July 24, 2022, and is discrete from the tenth commemoration memorial occasions being coordinated by the NDC.
2. We wish to express that the Asomdwee Park was imagined as a potential last resting place for expired Presidents and Vice Presidents.
The way that late President Atta Mills is up to this point the main dignitary covered there doesn't change its non-political reason.
To be sure, the office was created by the National Security Office during the residency of H.E John Dramani Mahama and stays a National Monument as well as a position of journey to respect the memory of dignitaries covered there.
It was intended to be overseen by the public safety office with access approved simply by that office. While it is for the Government of Ghana to coordinate capabilities at the office and welcome people to same, it is, in our real to life view, completely improper for any confidential element to be given an office at the area, straightforwardly or by implication presenting on it a job as supervisor even to the degree of giving solicitations for the sake of the state.
3. Our position no exclusive NGO ought to be dressed with so much powers as to give solicitations bearing the National Coat of Arms.
4. We are worried about the stance and exercises of an Institute that has accepted for itself some type of legendary responsibility for name John Evans Atta Mills, multiple times NDC banner conveyor and President of Ghanaians 2009-2012.
That Institute has all the earmarks of being filling in as a vehicle for our political rivals to plant seeds of disarray in the personalities of Ghanaians and destroy the lucky tradition of late President Atta Mills, a man of harmony who was chosen unto office on the ticket of the NDC.
It would be a disgrace, as the greeting implies, for President Akufo Addo to be related with a disruptive association, notable for its manufactures and harmful language, Let us be clear, the Institute being referred to has been on an impact course with the NDC party on whose ticket Prof. Atta Mills challenged and won the 2008 political decision and became President.
For your data, its pioneer has been excused from the NDC. A lamentable impression ought not be made that the Institute is being utilized by the Presidency and the lucky Coastal Development Authority (CODA) to demonstrate hatred for the Atta Mills family, previous President John Mahama and the whole NDC so far as that is concerned.
5. Any dispatching of the restored Asomdwee Park should in all earnestness, be a genuinely public undertaking befitting the height and character of Prof JEA Mills, a man of harmony who dedicated his Presidency to the reason for public solidarity.
The charging ought to be a public issue by greeting, however by the cooperation of key partners, not usurpers, in the arranging system.
6. Given the abovementioned, we generously demand that you pull out the solicitations to the promoted capability and meet with the NDC of which Prof. Atta Mills was pioneer up to the hour of his troublesome demise, and close by his close family, survey plans for the appointing occasion which will mirror the genuine reason and standpoint of the Asondwee Park.
Until that is finished, the NDC will pass on the proposed Commissioning occasion on the strength of solicitations gave by the Institute.
All people related with the NDC have been properly told of this limiting choice.
If it's not too much trouble, acknowledge our hottest commendations.
