Proponents of government are overwhelmed about the fulfillment of the New Patriotic Party’s promise of providing every constituency in the country emergency befitting Ambulances.
When the NPP initially mooted out this policy in both political rallies and national occasions, political opponents mocked the ideal describing it as an undoable promise .
But three years down the line of assuming political power , the NPP has fulfilled the promise by procuring and distributing over 307 which is even in excess of the original plan.
Though, the distribution of these Ambulances was accompanied with a National ‘merry making’ which was chastised as ‘unnecessary’ , government defended the action on grounds that it was a historic event.
Commenting on this remarkable feat by the NPP government ,Builsa South District Chief Executive, Daniel Kwame Gariba said President Nana Akufo Addo has been vindicated as a promise delivering person and has shamed the doubting ‘Thomases’.
“What started as a dream never to come through, has come to reality and I must say, I am very happy. I am happy because it vindicates the position of my president. When he said he was going to provide 1 ambulance for 1 constituency, the naysayers thought it was just a mere propaganda talk, but it has come to reality”.
Mr. Gariba who doubles NPP Parliamentary Candidate for Builsa South made these comments during a short ceremony to hand over the ambulances to 15 constituencies of the Upper East Region held at the Upper East Regional Coordinating Council.
While thanking the President for “mustering the courage of fulfilling a campaign promise”, Mr. Gariba expressed optimism that the ambulance will improve health delivery in the Builsa South.
He has also indicated that an office space for the paramedics has been provided by the assembly while construction of a parking area as well as the deplorable road linking Fumbisi to Navrongo are underway to augment the services of the ambulance and the officials.
Meanwhile, Mr Gariba is appealing to electorates to give four more years to the NPP to do more.
