Negotiations on vigilance: we will officially write to the NDC – Sammi Awuku | Policy

The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) leadership will formally write to the main opposition party, the NDC, to invite it to dialogue about the controversial debate over the dismantling of militias affiliated with both parties.

Sammi Awuku, the national organizer of the NPP, said his party would send a very warm letter to their opponents about the negotiations to end the threat of militancy.

But the question of whether the two sides will be able to remove the obstacle of a mediator who drags the proposed meeting remains difficult.

NDC Secretary-General Johnson Asiedu Nketiah said mutual mistrust between the two parties had become necessary to expand the number of stakeholders to third parties, if the president sincerely wishes to end the chancre.

But the NPP continues to uncompromisingly support the position of the president who refused to yield to CND requests to allow the Peace Council and others to mediate the dialogue.

"If we meet and there is a breakdown, you can appeal to these agencies. But if you gather all these bodies at your first meeting and you still can not move on, where do you go from there? We must meet, break the ice and set the parameters, "said Sammi Awuku on Kasapa FM.

At the same time, President Akufo-Addo ordered the Attorney General to prepare and submit to Parliament legislation to combat political vigilance in Ghana.

The president made the announcement in his reaction to the second letter of NDC President Samuel Ofosu Ampofo on the party's reservation to the President's proposed strategy for dealing with the threat.
