Koku Anyidoho praises E.T Mensah’s book
The PNDC/NDC setting the record straight vol 1 by National Democratic Congress stalwart Enoch Teye Mensah has sparked some comments from former Deputy General Secretary of the NDC Koku Anyidoho after he read the book.
For Koku Anyidoho the former legislator for Ningo-Prampram’s book sets the matters straight without hurting anyone.
This was how he puts the message across in a tweet “This week portends well for the Republic of Ghana Flag of Ghana with the launch of this Book by, E.T. Mensah. I have been privileged to read the book and I say; God bless E.T. Mensah for “Setting The Records Straight” without damning anybody,” he said.
The member of the Council of State in his book reveals plans, policies, programs and projects carried out by Ghana’s longest-serving regime so far led by the late Flt. Lt Jerry John Rawlings.
E.T Mensah’s literary prowess further takes readers on a nostalgic journey “of the torrid tides buffeting the ship of state before the advent of the Provisional National Defence Council (PNDC), on, Thursday, December 31, 1981”.
Having served in various capacities under the regime, which included the National Democratic Congress (NDC) tenure between 1993 and 2001, the former Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo-Prampram Constituency has revealed that the book “will set the records straight on how a crucial journey of nation-building began with raw determination, an unwavering zeal, a passion to die for the country, bodies that did not know pain, hearts that pumped the blood of the nation, and the grit with which a group of men and women anchored their faith firmly to ‘God Bless our Homeland Ghana and Make our Nation Great and Strong’”.
The much-awaited book is scheduled to be launched on Friday, October 15 at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC) at exactly 2:00 pm. Former President Rawlings gave the foreword for the book.
A release issued to announce the date of the book launch opened as thus: “Stories have been told; stories are being told; stories would be told! However, when a story is told in person by an active participant in the creation of the story, how hallowed, are the eyes that read, and the ears that hear”.
