GHC400,000 not outrageous - General Mosquito

- The General Secretary of the NDC, Johnson Asiedu Nketia, says the amount for the filing fees is not outrageous as Ghanaians think it is

- According to him, the amount is little as compared to what would be needed to fund party activities

The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia said persons who seek to lead the party should be able to bear the cost for the filing fees.

According to him, the GHC 400,000 for the filing fees and the additional GHc 20,000 as fees for nomination forms is nothing compared to the cost of organising party activities.

“If you compare these monies against the cost of organizing the activities we are talking about, you will realize that the party will still have to raise money to supplement whatever will be accruing from these filing fees,” he said.
