NDC being held to ransom by people with money- Rawlings cries out

According to him, the vast majority of the party have become subservient to the dictates of these power brokers."

He was speaking at the commemoration of the 31st December Revolution at Ashiaman, Accra on Monday.

He said: “It is important that I refer to one of the challenges that has affected the quality of integrity in our party. Per the regulations of the NDC, every member is expected to pay a token annual fee to justify their membership. Unfortunately, though we have millions who sympathise with the ideals of the party many prefer not to offer their widow’s mite to the successful management of the party.

“This has resulted in a situation where a few individuals have constituted themselves into power brokers who dictate the direction of the party by holding it to ransom with their financial strength. The vast majority of the party have become subservient to the dictates of these power brokers."
