The former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings has threatened to place a ban on the use of the NDC party’s logo, the umbrella, if the party continues to disrespect her family, the founder and the values enshrined in the logo and the constitution for that matter.

In a letter written to the National Chairman of the NDC, Dr. Kwabena Adjei, by Nana Konadu’s solicitors, it stated that “as you may be aware, our client holds the copyright to the political party logo being used by the NDC party as its registered political party symbol and known as the ‘akatamanso’ (umbrella).

“Our client’s intellectual property rights in the said symbol were duly registered on the 12th of April 2010 under the Copyright Act (2005), Act 690.”

According to the letter in the possession of Citifmonline.com, dated 7th May 2012, Nana Konadu gave her unhindered permission to the party to use the logo. She also reminded the party at its Sunyani Congress of "her exclusive intellectual property interests and particularly warned the party against the infringement of her exclusive moral rights in the logo stipulated under sections 6(a) and (b) of the Act."

The letter, however, said those rights Nana Konadu mentioned “are still being infringed upon by both party leadership both in their public utterances and deeds and thereby denigrating the symbolic value of the logo. Our client believes that those values were embodied in the vision of the founder of the party and subsequently enshrined in the constitution of the party.

“Our client further instructs that the said denigration of the logo has manifested in disrespect for the founder, the disunity of the party, the neglect of its egalitarian values, lack of accountability by key party leaders to the membership of the party and consequently in the disaffection of the rank and file.

“Our client therefore demands the immediate end to the continuous infringement and denigration of her exclusive intellectual property rights in the logo. That unless steps are taken by the party to that effect, our client will feel compelled to withdraw her permission for the use of the logo by the party,” it read in part.

If the former first lady goes ahead with the threat, many have begun wondering what logo the NDC would use for the 2012 elections.

Citifmonline.com broke the news sometime back that the Rawlingses had declared their intentions of forming a new party to be called the ‘National Democratic Party’.

With the angle being espoused by the part-time lecturer presently, it would seem that the logo NDC originally registered with the EC is not exactly the same as the one they adapted and have been using since. Particularly so, as one would recall that NDC, EGLE, and another Party then, were all registered parties before they jointly acclaimed Fmr. Pres. Rawslings as their Presidential Candidate. In 1992 there were 3 parties that eventually made that acclamation. Or?

Author: Don Blunt;;; Woyomi unlawfull judgement debt... The Attorney General who was courageous enough to fight for Ghana HAS BEEN SACKED! by the President, allegedly for "misconduct". So why do you praise this govt for "becoming more serious..."? Then again, do you understand anything about all the writs being filed left and right to prevent the court from proceeding with the actual case? All these adjournments have nothing to do with retrieving our money. They are wasting time with tactical "rules of the game". For your understanding, Betty Mould and her office allowed Woyome to dupe Ghana by filing a "stupid case" at court which the govt would definitely lose. Then, Amidu saw the fraud, and filed a writ of amendment of the stupid case, stating that Woyome had no contract with Kufuor, so Woyome cannot claim that Kufuor has illegally abrogated his contract. And if Kufuor has not abrogated any contract with Woyome, then the so called judgement debt claim is fraudulent. This angered the President, and he fired Amidu. The court has informed Woyome about this "change" (or, new situation), and adjourned the case, for Woyome to respond. Now the lawyers of Woyome have also written to the court, against this "change". The court has therefore adjourned everything, to allow the AG to also either reject, or accept what the lawyers of Woyome are saying. That is where we are now. And this game can go on, and on, and on.. And the actual case concerning the $51million can begin in twenty years time. No need for jubilation now.

Did she invent the umbrella or she suggested it should be used? Did she suggest all the colours of the umbrella or some other people did? The umbrella came with an eagle head but that eagle head is no more. Was Konadu's own with the eagle head?

Anyway I've a "rain-coat logo" they can come and rent that one for now.
