General News of Friday, 2 September 2016Source: dailyguideafrica.comNDC updates manifesto with ‘new ideas’Asiedu Nketia (L), President Mahama and other NDC executivesIt is becoming increasingly clear that the delay by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in launching its manifesto is meant to ‘steal’ some new ideas from the New Patriotic Party (NPP), hence the pressure on the presidential candidate of the NPP to release his party’s manifesto. The ruling party postponed its scheduled manifesto launch in Sunyani, the Brong-Ahafo Regional capital, last weekend because it reportedly wanted to have access to the NPP manifesto, but the opposition party has become adamant in launching its own manifesto due to the NDC’s record of ‘stealing’ ideas. However, the NPP says it’s not in a hurry to unveil its manifesto because of previous experience. An NDC apologist, Kwesi Pratt Jnr, a journalist, said the NPP’s policy was not ‘feasible,’ yet the party claims it is already implementing it. Classic ScenariosThe public pronouncements that directly connect the NDC to the fact that they want to ‘spy’ on the NPP manifesto and turn it into their own have become evident.
