Members of the Greater Accra Regional Tertiary Educational Institutions Network (TEIN) of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) have expressed the need to streamline its activities within the party.
"The position of TEIN in the schemes of NDC is amorphous. This is due to the fact that provision has not been made for TEIN in the constitution of the NDC. Its direction and control is therefore subject to the whims and
caprices of an individual."
This was contained in a statement issued in Accra on Wednesday.
The statement jointly signed by Dr David Sunu, President and Mr Afari Jones Junior, an executive member said TEIN is a very critical intellectual wing of the party and yet volatile.
"The idea of forming regional TEIN has become a movement and by attempting to stop it, will cause grievous dislocation to the party. Indeed the regional TEIN movement is progressive and responsive," the statement said.
"It is a fact that, in accepting this progressive and responsive movement, some individual powers shall erode. And this fear will make those who are obsessed with power, or fear losing absolute control, jerk and
quake. However, it must be borne in mind that, the interests of NDC and the institution of TEIN is larger and greater than any individual interest.
"Individual and myopic interest must be buried for the greater good and for a larger course," the statement said.
