Addressing a separate issue regarding ID cards for party executives, Dr. Dwamena clarified that over 90% of the ID cards for executive members, from the polling station level to the national level, were printed and distributed in 2022. The remaining 10%, he noted, are available at the party headquarters and awaiting collection by the regional secretariats.

“The issuance of ID cards to executive members has been very successful,” Dr. China stated, adding that this milestone has paved the way for the registration and issuance of ID cards to non-executive members, which is currently ongoing in various constituencies. He encouraged all non-executive members to take advantage of the process and register.

Responding to concerns about the management of party donations, Dr. Dwamena reassured members that all contributions are deposited into party accounts and not diverted into individual pockets. He explained that the party’s structures and protocols ensure accountability and prevent unilateral decisions regarding the use of funds.

“…The structures and working procedures of the party make it impossible for the National Treasurer to make unilateral decisions let alone spend funds without approval,” he clarified. “For every expenditure, approval is given by the National Chairman and the General Secretary, after which the National Treasurer sees to proper disbursement of such funds.”
