Kikam, June 14, GNA – Mr Paul Kodwo Kwaw, Ellembelle National Democratic Congress (NDC) Constituency Secretary hopeful, has urged delegates to vote for him in the upcoming internal elections to lead the Ellembelle Constituency secretariat.
He said his administrative leadership experience would ensure his vision was fully implemented for the benefit of all.
This was contained in a statement signed by Mr Kodwo Kwaw, the Assembly Member for Kikam and Asemko Electoral Area, and copied to the Ghana News Agency in Nkroful.
He said as secretary, he would build inclusive communication channels to serve as feedback loops for grassroots members.
“These will include physical or digital town-hall formats to allow members to voice concerns and ensure they reach party leadership with reliable feedback”.
Mr Kodwo Kwaw pledged transparency in the day-to-day affairs of the party, and said he would share routine information, the party manifesto, government programmes and opportunities with branch executives to keep the grassroots informed.
On welfare and resource allocation, he promised equitable reward systems by advocating inclusive policies that allocate a fair share of political appointments and government opportunities to loyal grassroots leaders and members.
He said he would actively track employment schemes, District Assembly opportunities, government scholarships and other openings to ensure transparent communication and equal access for grassroots members.
For livelihood support, Mr Kodwo Kwaw said he would, in consultation with the Member of Parliament, the District Chief Executive, party leadership and other stakeholders, connect branch members to micro-grant schemes, agricultural extension services, and local cooperative networks to boost economic welfare.
He also proposed a localised welfare fund, supported by patrons, appointees, members and individuals who gained employment through the party, to assist members during emergencies, medical crises and funerals.
He said this would reduce sole dependence on the MP and DCE for such contingencies.
On capacity building, the Secretary hopeful said he would organise local workshops in consultation with the Constituency Executive Committee, Constituency Executive Committee, to train members in vocational skills, business management and civic leadership.
He added that political academies would be run to equip grassroots members as effective advocates, polling agents and future party candidates.
Mr Kodwo Kwaw further pledged to promote marginalized voices, ensure young members have real influence in local programming and decision-making, and promote the meaningful inclusion of women in party structures by removing structural and cultural barriers to leadership.
The statement described him as “the right man for the job” with evidence of fairness and objectivity in his public, private and political life. It identified him as a strategic thinker, detail-oriented administrator, expert meeting facilitator, consensus builder, and anchor of trust.
