Former National Nasara Coordinator of the ruling New Patriotic Party Kamal-Deen Abdulai has been removed from all committees in the party whiles the party’s National Communication Director position has been taken from Adenta MP Yaw Buabeng Asamoah.
The position of the chairman for the party’s communication committee has been given to former Information Minister under the erstwhile Kufuor administration Ms. Oboshie Sai Coffie.
Kamal-Deen until recently was a deputy communication officer of the party. However, in the list of committees inaugurated today, the former Nasara coordinator’s name could not be found in any of the list.
However, former National Communication Director and ag communication director of the party Nana Akomea and Yaw Adomako Baafi respectively have been included in the list of the party’s communication team.
In the list unveiled today by the party’s General Secretary, John Boadu, some former deputy communication directors of the party such as Ms. Joyce Zempare have been reassigned to different committees.
Many have raised questions about the party’s communication strategy.
People such as Adomako Baafi have openly criticized the communication strategy describing it as lacking focus.
Speaking at TESCON induction service at Akyem Oda Community Health Nursing Training School last month, Mr. Baafi asked why the party will allow the NDC to set the agenda for the NPP to respond. Using the ‘kenkey party news’ that followed the nations successful over-subscription of bond in the UK, Mr. Adomako Baafi charged the party’s communication team to remain focus and get a good job done.
The changes in the communication team seem to confirm views by many that the party’s communication strategy is struggling.
