NDC WILL AVOID SELECTIVE JUSTICE (PAGE 17)

THE Member of Parliament (MP) for Tamale Central, Mr Inusah Fuseini, has said a government of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will avoid all forms of “selective justice” in its bid to eliminate the polarisation of the country’s body politic.
He noted that effective justice delivery had been relegated to the background for far too long, stressing that the December polls would be a test case for the country’s security agencies to either undermine or justify the confidence reposed in them by Ghanaians.
Mr Fuseini stated this in an interview with media practitioners shortly after he addressed a rally on Sunday to inaugurate the Tamale Central Constituency campaign of the NDC for the 2008 general election.
Teeming supporters of the party took to the streets along the Tamale Central Mosque area where the rally was held, chanting party songs while others rode on their motorbikes and cars draped in NDC paraphernalia.
The MP, who had filed his nomination on the NDC ticket. is contesting the parliamentary seat with six other candidates, including the Metropolitan Chief Executive, Mr Mohammed Amin Adam, who is also contesting on the NPP ticket.
He noted that the NDC would win in at least 130 out of the 230 constituencies in the forthcoming general election.
Mr Fuseini intimated that said the party would fight poverty head-on and reduce it to the barest minimum while ensuring that there was peace and harmony among all Ghanaians, irrespective of their political affiliations.
He, therefore, urged the electorate not to do anything that would disrupt the forthcoming elections as their contribution towards a peaceful election. “We have struggled to bring peace to the Tamale metropolis; we are one people with a common destiny, let us all acknowledge that it does not pay to disturb the peace,” the MP stressed.
According to Mr Fuseini “the development projects that the NDC undertook during its tenure in office are there for all to see. The NDC believes in justice and the people know that when we come to power we would deliver effective justice as a prerequisite for peace”.
Touching on alleged stockpiling of weapons by some political parties in the area, the MP emphasised that as far as the NDC was concerned they had been co-operating with the police to nip in the bud such negative tendencies, adding that a lot more depended on the police.
The Northern Regional Propaganda Secretary of the NDC, Alhaji Oumar Farouk, called on the electorate to vote massively for the party’s flag bearer, Professor John Evans Atta Mills, in the general election.
