The National Treasurer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Dr. Charles Dwamena, has called on members of the Bawumia 2024 Campaign Team to render accounts on the funds and logistics allocated to them during the just-ended campaign.
Dr. China, as the National Treasurer is popularly known, made the call in a press release on Monday, December 30, 2024, to correct misinformation from a misleading publication regarding the printing of ID cards for executive members of the party in 2022.
Assuring all party members, he said, “Any officer, be it an executive or a member of the campaign team, who was given funds or resources during the 2024 campaign will be made to account for the allocated funds and resources.”
According to him, rendering proper accounts is non-negotiable and an essential part of understanding what went wrong in the just-ended campaign.
Touching on the issuance of ID cards for party executive members in 2022, Dr China stated that over 90% of ID cards for executive members—from polling stations to the national level—have been printed and distributed, with the remaining 10% at the party headquarters yet to be collected by the regional secretariats.
Dr. China indicated that the issuance of ID cards to executive members has been very successful, paving the way for issuing ID cards to non-executive members, which is currently ongoing in various constituencies. He encouraged all non-executive members to get registered.
Clearing the air on the management of donations, he indicated that such donations go into the party’s coffers and not into individual pockets, emphasizing that it is impossible for one individual to withdraw funds from the party accounts alone.
He explained, “The structures and working procedures of the party make it impossible for the National Treasurer to make unilateral decisions, let alone spend funds without approval,” adding that, “For every expenditure, approval is given by the National Chairman and the General Secretary, after which the National Treasurer ensures proper disbursement of such funds.”
Dr. Dwamena, in his press release, appreciated Dr. Bawumia, Hon. Kennedy Agyapong, and other leading party members who have made donations to support the party’s work.
