Mr Fritz Baffour, National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary candidate for Ablekum South, has appealed to tertiary students of the party to offer themselves as party agents for the December 7, 2008 elections.
He also urged them to engage in house to house campaign for the party to win more votes in the December polls.
Mr Baffour said this at the inauguration of the Korle Bu Branch of Tertiary Educational Institution Network (TEIN) of NDC at Kole Bu.
He said Ablekuma South is the second largest constituency in the country with registered voter-population of over 120,000 and said it would be difficult for him alone to campaign without their support.
The party, he said, needed them to go to the field and sell NDC's programmes to win more votes.
Mr Boffour said he had worked with Prof John Evens Atta Mills, the party's residential candidate before and therefore knew his quality and capability to manage the affairs of the nation.
Dr Omane Boamah, a leading member of the NDC said for the eight years the party was in power, it was able to build three regional hospitals, one at Cape Coast, Ho and Sunyani, 110 district hospitals, a cardiothoracic and plastic surgery centres at Korle Bu and challenged the NPP to mention where they had built any of these facilities.
He said NDC if voted into power would set up a health disease control unit which would encourage District Assemblies and communities to train their own health personnel to manage the District hospitals, clinics and health centres and also tackled sanitation as one of its priorities.
Dr Boamah said NDC would fight the corruption that had bedevilled the National Health Insurance Scheme and restructure the scheme to make it more effective and accessible.
He also accused government of less sensitive to the plight of both doctors and Para-medical staff, especially on the service conditions, adding that for three years, doctors' salaries had not been revised.
Mr Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, another leading member of NDC said President John Agyekum Kufuor's government could not provide any affordable housing unit for workers as promised when they were in opposition.
He asked if government could not pay the Capitation Grant, how it could implement free education for Senior High Schools.
Mr Haruna Iddrisu, National Youth Organizer mentioned the GetFund, Road Fund, District Assembly Common Fund and the introduction of VAT as some of the NDC's accomplishments.
Mr Kofi Kukubor, who chaired the function, said the NPP has said it believes in Ghana, and yet were selling all the nation's strategic assets.
