The following information was provided
during a 21 May 1996 telephone interview with a representative of
the New Patriotic Party in New York.
The Statesman was founded in 1991 by two
leading NPP members, Nana Akufo-Ado and Amoako Tuffour, and is
published weekly by Kinesic Communications, a privately owned
publishing firm. Although The Statesman was not established by the
NPP, it became the voice of the NPP in Ghana.
NPP Newsletter was founded in the United
States in 1993 but a lack of funding forced it to cease publication
in 1995. NPP Newsletter maintained an irregular publication
schedule; when published, print runs averaged 5,000 copies, of
which 200 were occasionnally distributed in Ghana. The official NPP
newsletter in Ghana is NPP Alternative.
This Response was prepared after
researching publicly accessible information currently available to
the DIRB within time constraints. This Response is not, and does
not purport to be, conclusive as to the merit of any particular
claim to refugee status or asylum.
