Nkrumah's
Speeches
Osei's compilation The African Publication Society in West London published Osei's compilation (1970). The key speech provided in Osei's compilation is significant in that it was made on June 12, 1965 in Accra to mark the sixteenth anniversary of the CPP and is conspicuously absent in Obeng's and Nkrumah's compilations. Nkrumah made a number of corrective declarations in his presentation to this important agency. It may have been one of the speeches that led to the coup d'etat of his government some eight months later. In that speech, Nkrumah announced the abolition of salaries for Parliament Members in an effort to decrease the gap between government representatives and the masses. |
