The General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Fifi Kwetey, says it is normal for some section of the party to be unhappy with the changes made at its hierarchy in Parliament.
Speaking with host, George Sappor on GBC NEWS Current Affairs program ‘FOCUS’, Mr. Kwetey agreed that some level of consultation should have been done with the Caucus before the move, but, added that ”the party is building on the past to improve the future”.
The new NDC General Secretary, Fifi Kwetey urged party faithful to ”embrace and appreciate the change”.
