NDC serial callers cry of neglect

Serial callers who phone into political talk shows to defend the socio-economic policies of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) and criticise the government are complaining of neglect from their party.

Members of the Concerned Communicators for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in a statement signed by its convener Michael Agornugah, say they are "suffering" and have spent all their meagre resources on recharge calls to call into political talk shows.

The group say they have been abused by some of their party leaders who do not value their work.

It said: "Some of our party leaders even insulted us because they do not see the importance of the work we have been doing for the party.“Going forward, we are saying that we will not allow any leader to insult us again. Our concerns are numerous and if things are not done properly, we will let the whole country know about it and it will affect us all.”According to the statement, “We are calling on the leaders of the party to help us because we are suffering too much. Some of our partners are not in good terms with us because they are of the view that we are doing useless work.“Our resources that would have been used on our families have been used to buy recharge cards for our phones to call into political shows in order to propagate the party’s good messages and yet some of our leaders will sit somewhere and denigrate us.“We want our leaders to look at what the NPP leaders did to their callers and do same to us.”
