“Without that, fighting corruption is next to impossible; when individuals or business concerns finance your party to power, how do you pay them back?” she asked.
In an interview on CPP activities under her chairmanship, Ms Nkrumah expressed the hope that Ghanaians would support the CPP’s to achieve its core objective.
“We are trying so hard to build a modernised efficient party with a net effect so that when we come to power we will not be indebted to anybody,” she stated.
She, therefore, urged Ghanaians who abhorred corruption to register with and support the party to restore the vision of economic independence.
According to Ms Nkrumah, the CPP is beginning a battle of deconfiscation of its assets.
She mentioned a number of assets, including the building currently housing the Ministry of Information, as some of the properties owned by the CPP since the First Republic.
She was of the view that the deconfiscation of CPP’s assets would help to revitalise and rebrand the CPP to enable it to play its expected role in deepening multi-party politics in the country.
She said the CPP had already launched an elaborate programme to enhance its membership drive.
Under a programme dubbed: “Membership Management System,” Ms Nkrumah pointed out that the electronic database would enable the party to scientifically determine fully paid-up members, communicate with them, as well as ensure an efficient and transparent system of collecting party dues.
She added that the database would also allow the party to manage and optimise its human resources and groom them as parliamentary candidates.
Already, she said that through the new system, they were capturing the data of all polling station executives up to the national level before capturing the wider public.
Ms Samia Nkrumah said the new membership management system database was a system that had placed the party among the most modern political parties in the world.
She urged members of the party and the public to support the party’s cause and register on the new electronic database.
According to Ms Nkrumah, many people want to see a revitalised and vibrant CPP, but were hesitant to get involved and support the CPP to achieve its key goals.
“You have wasted your vote since 1992 by voting the National Democratic Congress or the New Patriotic Party and look at where you are,” Ms Nkrumah reminded the Ghanaian electorate and challenged them to answer the question of what party they wanted to rule Ghana faithfully.
“In that wise no vote will be wasted,” she stated.
Ms Nkrumah also said the Ghanaian electorate must believe in the people’s power and make up their minds to vote for a party they actually believed could do the work.
She also urged the electorate to dismiss the propaganda being waged against the CPP that ‘a vote for the CPP is a wasted vote.’
“It is all a trick,” she pointed out.
She disclosed that the CPP had begun the first level of party organisation at the polling station where elections were underway and added that the CPP was also embarking on ideological education to keep its members abreast of party issues from the First Republic when the party was in political power.
As the CPP heads towards the 2016 Election, Ms Nkrumah gave the assurance that the party would leave no stone unturned to make a very big impact in the 2016 polls.
