Communicators of the opposition National Democratic Congress from 15 constituencies in the Upper East Region have declared an indefinite strike on communicating for the party on all media platforms.
The party spokespersons at the constituency level say they have been under resourced, neglected and sidelined in taking critical decisions for the party at the regional level.
The team in a statement seen by dreamzfmonline.com said “This is a collective and well thought out decision by all constituency communication officers and our deputies across the fifteen (15) constituencies in the upper east region. Let no one question our loyalty to this party. Let no one dare question our commitment to this party. Let no one question our resolve to see this party capture power from the looting brigade who is squandering the resources of this country with impunity”.
The livid communicators disclosed that “We have since been sacrificing our little resources on buying fuel and transporting ourselves to radio stations on daily basis. We have been spending huge on buying data to access information for communication purposes”.
A decision by the party to resource some constituency executives including the provision of motorbikes and laptops, has contributed significantly to the decision by the party front liners to hang their boots until further notice.
“We have also taken notice of how other elected executives of the party are treated in terms of provision of working tools and logistics. We do appreciate the work of other elected executives and the need for them to be resourced.
We are fully aware of the provision of motor bikes to organizers and youth organizers. We are also aware of the provision of laptop computers to constituency secretaries. What we cannot endure anymore is the total neglect of communication officers and their communicators in this instance,” the statement added.
