Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu questions election of a treasurer for NPP, asks party to reform

The Majority Leader in Parliament, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has questioned the decision to elect a national treasurer for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).

He wondered why that office should be an elected office for which anyone seeking to occupy it must spend money campaigning to be elected.





The leader of Government Business, speaking at a Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs engagement with political parties on monetisation of politics, called on the NPP to do a self-introspection by way of reviewing the party’s constitution.

“This issue of the increasing extensive monetarisation, must be halted. I have said it before and I believe the time to address it head on is now. We cannot continue to burry our heads in the sand anymore,” the Suame Lawmaker said.

He added “In politics, he plans today he will want to rip tomorrow that is the reality of our times.

“The NPP must be looking to reforming itself by way of having an introspections of the party’s constitution. I don’t know of any liberal democratic party anywhere in the established democracies where at the level of polling stations elections are conducted.

” Even for treasurers where from this that we have imposed on ourselves, somebody wants to come and manage your finances for you and the person must be voted for? And that person must be spending money to be elected as your treasurer.”
