National Democratic Congress (NDC) Chairman Johnson Asiedu Nketiah has proposed the establishment of a Heroes Fund to provide financial support to party members who have made sacrifices for the party.
He argued that there was a need to recognise the sacrifices and contributions of party members, especially those in need.
The party leader made the proposal while speaking at the United Cadres Front anniversary commemoration at the party’s headquarters in Accra last week.
He said that some families are struggling due to the demise of their relatives who were associated with the NDC and worked for the party.
“If we have a hero’s fund, we can do so many things to help with the medication of our comrades who have struggled for the party and also support the children of those who have fallen,” he said.
The NDC Chairman believes that the Hero’s Fund would be a powerful way to grow the party by making it more appealing to members and their families.
He noted that if the children of party members who have made sacrifices are not supported, they may grow up with negative perceptions about the party.
Former Ghana Ambassador Akua Sena Dansua on her part urged the National Democratic Congress to empower younger generations to take on leadership roles and decentralise party activities to promote grassroots inclusion, while also supporting party pioneers in need of medical and financial assistance.
