In a short statement, Mr Kyerematen, who is the Minister of Trade and Industry, said: “Today marks another important day in the annals of our party, the NPP, as we meet once again at our annual regional delegates conference to take stock of the past year and plan for the future”.
This year, he noted, “because of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are meeting at different venues at different times to safeguard our health”.
“I urge you all to observe the protocols of masking up, sanitising and washing of hands and social-distancing”.
He added: “No matter where we find ourselves, l urge members to hold paramount the unity and well-being of the party in their deliberations”. “Our continued relevance in the affairs of the state depends on the cohesiveness of our party as a people of independent thought and free will”, Mr Kyerematen said.
“I pray that we come out of our conferences re-energised and united in our bid to ‘break the 8’ and keep Ghana on the path of ‘Development in Freedom’, in adherence to the motto of our great party”.
