Disregard our MP’s vile and needless propaganda – Nabdam NPP

0

The governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nabdam constituency of the Upper East Region has rubbished claims that the former Member of Parliament for the area, Boniface Gambila performed abysmally during his tenure in office. 

The incumbent MP for Nabdam, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane last month stated that his predecessor, Mr. Gambila could not even build a common ‘hencoop’ when the people of Nabdam gave him the opportunity to lead them. Mr. Nawane laid on that foundation to call his constituents to ignore Boniface Gambila in the upcoming elections.

But in a sharp rebuttal, the Nabdam NPP leadership in a press statement copied A1 News said ,the claims by their NPP were misleading and hence, should be disregarded. 

The constituency secretary, Francis Wongnab who signed the statement indicated that Mr. Gambila has served his people well in the area of health, education, agriculture, provision of water and social intervention policies and anybody who interprets all these as nothing and calls Mr. Gambila as ‘selfish’ ,does that either out of “ignorance, malice or both”. 

While calling on the public to disregard Dr. Nawaane’s “vile propaganda”, the Nabdam constituency secretary admonished the MP to rather engage in constructive statements for the development of Nabrug.

Read the full statement. 

RE: SELFISH GAMBILA DIDN’T BUILD EVEN A HEN COOP FOR NABDAM AS MP- Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane.

The attention of NPP-Nabdam has been drawn to a media publication on mynewsgh.com purported to have emanated from Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane during A1 radio interview session. In the said interview, he was quoted to have said that Hon. Gambila‘could not even build a hen coop while serving as a member of parliament’. The NPP in Nabdam notes that with disquiet and moves to set the records straight, to dissuade our teeming supporters and the general public from believing a Goebbelsianattempt to deceive and misrepresent the truth.

Hon. Boniface Gambila went to parliament riding on the success story of his Pro-Nabdam development initiative which we will bring to light soon in this write up.

As an MP and solely so, Hon. Gambila made strides ranging from Agriculture to health. 

In health, Hon. Gambila is touted as a champion such that the Dr. MP is only trailing his footsteps. 

As a human resource expert, knowing the connection between health and productivity, he was the first to facilitate the largest ever health intervention in Nabdam of over 800 free operations of hernia, goitre and hydrocele,under Operation Zero Hernia(OZH) at Amiah Hospital, Bolgatanga. 

This by far has raised the productivity levels of these individuals especially in the area of agriculture. No causalities were recorded unlike Dr. MP’s attempt.   

Also, Hon. Gambila added an appendage building of a maternity ward with provision for water closet facilities to the Pelunguclinic and supplied furniture and medical items to all health posts across Nabdam. 

In line with his and that of the party’s vision for a seamless healthy life of our constituents, he provided an ambulance when many constituencies had none. 

He supported several health projects including but not limited to sign post for all health centers, payment for clearance of medical theatre equipment, financial support for the training of medical staff, provision of handset telephones to health volunteers, provision of wheel chairs, support for referral patients, among others.

Just as he is a pace setter in health, he is in education. He advocated with GETfund (typical of an MP) for the KongoSenior High School fence wall project, Sekoti JHS block, Ziemboug primary school block and Gundork JHS block. 

He provided boreholes to many schools which made them best placed for the school feeding initiative which they enjoy today thanks to the NPP government.

He assisted more than 350 student nurses, teachers and other tertiary students. 

He financed the District wide mock examinations for BECE Candidates and organized vacation classes for SHS students in the constituency.

As a human resource developer, he provided 3 personal tractors, fuel and viable seed for over 300 farmers for several farming seasons to improve Agricultural production. He also provided 50 water pumping machines to farmers to support dry season farming. 

In deepening local governance, he donated 200bags of cement in support of the construction of a durbar ground in Sekotitraditional council. Two motorbikes were donated toNangodiandSekotitraditional councils for itinerary business.

The list of achievements in all facets of development is endless. 

How could anybody interpret all these as nothing and called Hon. Gambila ‘selfish’? Is it ignorance, malice or both? 

Apart from the aforementioned, Hon. Gambila before and after Parliament is seen as an icon of Nabdam development. No doubts about that! It will take only a wishful uninformed visitor to try to write off Gambila in the annals of history of the development of Nabdam. 

The contribution of Hon Gambila to the development of the youth cannot be overemphasized and perhaps cannot easily be copied by any competitor. Permit us to mention a few:

He facilitated and recruited;

• Over 30 Nabdams to the security services without discrimination.

• Over 30 officers of various grades to the NSS in and around Nabdam.

•560 Nabdams into the Youth in AfforestationProgramme(the biggest employment intervention in the history of Nabdam).

We will want to state here that some of these beneficiaries are doing very well and are occupying higher positions in public service. It is therefore ironic for the MP to suggest that Hon Gambila is bent on destroying the youth of the NPP. For the avoidance of doubt, Hon Gambila has been contested 4 times and all these times the youth were in the contest without impediments. 

The following are other initiated projects worthy of note;

 1. A modern ICT centre in Kongo. The facility is currently used as a GES office.

2. A clinic facility in Sekoti.

3. He upgraded the only SHS(at the time), Kongo Senior High, to its present standard putting it on a developing pedestal to compete with schools of its kind.

 4. He got electricity to many parts of Nabdam. He connected Zanlerigu, Pelungu, Sekoti, parts of Nangodi and their contiguous communities to the national grid. 

5. He constructed a number of basic schools including Kong-Daborin primary,Gundorg Primary block, 2-No 3-classroom block for Nangodi primary, Damol-TindongoNursery, Dagliga Primary, Zopeliga Primary, Yakotiprimary and Nkunziesi primary. Teachers’ quarters for kotintabig and Sekoti schools and many more.

6. He built a game and wild life quarters and office at Nangodi.7. He constructed and opened access roads. Kong Daborin-Kongo SHS new site, Naraboug – Damolugu chief’s premises, Zanlerigu-Zoya, Kotintabig- Pelungu, Zua-Gong farm area, Bariki-Gundork-Waredaa-Zanlerigu primary roads, Kongo-Logre-Damolugu and many others.

These among many other interventions of Hon.Gambila are visible for all. It is therefore mindboggling for someone nicknamed ‘Nkosuohene’ (for his father Christmas role in faraway Dunkwa) to look his own people in the eyes and describe the benevolent Gambila, who gave him the constituency in its present strength, ‘selfish’. 

The MP is racing behind time to learn to walk in the oversized shoes bequeathed to him. He certainly has to learn for the sake of it.

Hon. Gambila is on course partnering the government of the day to deliver on its pro-poor policies. It will only be expedient for the good people of Nabdam to give him the mandate once again to make Nabdam a better place worthy of her status.

We entreat all and sundry to disregard such vile propaganda and focus on the feats Hon.Gambila has chalked over the years. 

He is still committed to a conscious agenda to transform Nabdam and make her great again.

We demand that, the MP engages in constructive politicking and desists from unwarranted and misguided statements that do not augur well for the development of Nabrug.

God bless the chiefs and people of Nabdam!

God bless the great NPP!

Thank you!

Construction of ‘Life Changer’ Pwalungu Multipurpose Dam begins in June

0


Preparation works for the construction of Pwalungu Multipurpose Dam in the Talensi District of Upper East Region commences next month towards the final kick-off of the project in September, 2020. The project is expected to be completed in 52 months and executed by China Power, owners and operators of Sinohydro.


This was revealed by authorities at the Volta River Authority (VRA) during a stakeholder meeting in Bolgatanga with the Regional Minister, Tangoba Abayage.


President Nana Akufo-Addo cut sod for the construction of this over sixty years old project in November, 2019 which Parliament finally unanimously approved the over 900 million dollar Pwalugu multi-purpose project in February after strings pulled by minority with allegations of bloated cost and lack of due diligence of the project.


The project was expected to kick start in April, 2020 but affected by the outbreak of Coronavirus. But speaking to A1 News after the stakeholder meeting, Project Coordinator of the Pwalungu Multipurpose Dam at the Volta River Authority, Kwaku Wiafe said that all was set for the project to start.


He stated that the initial challenge was human resource from China because of the Coronavirus but they have been able to get some technical Chinese Experts drawn from the construction site of Tamale interchange’s project.


Mr. Wiafe however assured safety of local workers who will be employed to work with the Chinese indicating that, all the required safety standards will be observed to avoid the spread of Coronavirus. Moreover, he added that the Chinese Team was based in Ghana hence, do not pose as a risk to country.
“The lead Contractor is Chinese and it is important that right from the beginning, we assure the community that there is no risk of any transmission of the virus.

And the reason being that, we will put in place a number of precautions. Firstly, all the people who are going to work on the project at this initial phase, should have been quarantined but they have spent significant time in Ghana and show no symptoms” He said.


Meanwhile, Upper East Regional Minister, Tangoba Abayage has interceded on behalf of residents in the affected areas and called on the Chinese construction firm, Sinohydro to place importance on local employment and ensured that all traditional protocols are observed for a smooth execution of the project.

Madam Tangoba thanked the President for taking a “bold step to construct the over sixty years old project”. She added that she was happy to be part of this “lifetime achievement” of constructing the project.

She also assured VRA and China Power of her support toward the realization of the life changing project.


The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the Pwalugu multipurpose dam has been awarded to Power China International.

The Chinese company will build a 165 m high dam on the White Volta River in the Talensi district of the Upper East region. The structure will have a 350 km² water-holding reservoir. Below the dam, the company will build a hydroelectric power station equipped with two turbines. The turbines will have a combined capacity of 60 MW and a solid continuous output of 16.5 MW.

Part of the water from the reservoir will be pumped to supply a large irrigation system in northern Ghana. The Ghanaian government estimates the irrigation capacity at 25,000 hectares, benefiting 15,000 people living from agriculture. The project will thus enable the development of local agriculture, which is highly dependent on climatic conditions. The Pwalugu hydropower plant would be backed by another renewable energy source.

It is a photovoltaic solar power plant with a capacity of 50 MWp. The plant will be built in Kurugu, in the municipality of East Mamprusi, North-East region. “The 60 MW hydropower plant and the solar power plant will form the first ever hydro-solar hybrid system in Ghana. The two technologies complement each other to provide a reliable and stable power supply to the national grid,” said Nana Akufo-Addo at the inception of the project in December 2019.

Isaac Adongo secures court bail for arrested traders in Bolgatanga

0

Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central Constituency has facilitated in getting a court in the Upper East regional capital, Bolgatanga to grant a Gh¢5,000 bail to 27 women who defied Covid-19 safety protocols to stage a demonstration Monday.


They will reappear before the court on May 25, 2020, Municipal Police Commander for Bolgatanga, Chief Superintendent Richard Anaba Salifu, said in an interview.


The suspects have been charged for flouting an Executive Order on ban on social gatherings.


The market women were arrested following chaotic scenes at the Bolgatanga market after some traders staged a demonstration to protest against the Municipal Assembly over a planned decongestion exercise.


The exercise, according to the Assembly, was to protect the traders and the Municipality from a possible spread of the deadly Coronavirus pandemic.


But the women, numbering about 100, took to the streets to kick against what they claim, is a deliberate attempt to relocate cereal sellers from the Bolgatanga new market to the old one.
Armed police officers were later called to the scene to restore calm amid firing of gunshots.


“On my way to the market to buy things I saw these market women demonstrating so I joined them in the process. So one policeman arrested me and started beating me up.
“I told him I was pregnant but he won’t listen he was still beating me and brought me to the police station,” one of the protesters told Citi Newsroom.


“That place cannot be used for our business unlike that of Kumasi and Accra; the Assembly should come and explain. Why are we being treated like this?” another said.


Reacting to claims however, Chief Superintendent Richard Anaba Salifu justified the action by the police.


He said: “We fired rubber bullets and that was fired in the air to disperse the crowd and they were still trying to move forward so I ordered my men to whip them and as many, as we could, we arrested them so we processed them for court.”
“It was when we started the whipping them and arresting them that they started dispersing,” he added.

Fire destroys stores at Navrongo Market

0

Fire has ravaged several stores at the Navrongo main market Monday night.

The inferno, which started at about 8pm, destroyed containers and other properties belonging to the traders.

Three large provision stores close to the smoked mudfish market, in the same vicinity with the Zambarima Pwekura, were completely destroyed before firefighters brought it under control.

The fire did not hurt any of the traders, but a young man who helped fight it sustained a deep cut in his right hand.

The cause was yet to be established but the store owners suspect an electrical fault sparked the fire.

The rapid response of the Ghana National Fire Service prevented the fire from spreading to other stores.

The incident has resurrected the conversation on the need for the Kassena-Nankana Municipal Assembly to decongest all markets in the town to make them easily accessible in times of disaster.

Traders in Bolgatanga defy public gatherings directive,resort to street protest against MCE

0

Traders in Bolgatanga have been arrested by the Ghana Police for defying directive on public gatherings.

The women traders on Monday took to the streets of the Upper East Regional Capital, Bolgatanga to register their displeasure despite the ban on public gathering.

The action taken by the traders was against a decision by the Bolgatanga Municpal Assembly to relocate them to designated areas in order to observe social distancing as part measures to prevent the spread of Coronavirus.

The Ghana Police Service moved in swiftly to disperse the protesting traders on grounds that their actions were against the public order act since no official notice was served before the action was carried out.

Some of traders have therefore been arrested and currently in police custody.

But of the traders told A1 News that “It is a shame to us and to the one who has commanded these police officers to come and beat us the way they want. Just look at how the police have done to our sister, to the extent of putting her behind bars”.

“Where the MCE has directed us to go and sell our products is too small to occupy all of us as compare to where we are currently.”Another market woman said.

“Then he (Amiyuure) should have just instructed the police to shoot and kill us than to let them beat us like common criminals. What crime have we committed to deserve this?” Another woman asked.

Meanwhile, on a letter dated 7th May 2020 by the Bolgatanga Municipal Assembly signed by the Municipal Chief Executive, Joseph Atura Amiyuure to the grain sellers at the New Market indicated that on 11th May 2020 there will be a relocation of all grain sellers from the New Market to the old market.

The move, according to the letter was part of efforts by the authority in the Bolgatanga Municipality to ensure those grain sellers in the new market respect the social distancing protocol which is aimed at curbing the spread of COVID -19.

The Grain Sellers though said they were aware of the letter, they were not expecting any police brutality to the extent that the police have to put some of their colleagues behind bars.

Management and staff of A1 Radio on Sunday May 10, 2020 honoured the Chief Executive Officer of Agreed Best Communications Limited, operators of A1 Radio, Regina Bagnaba as part of Mothers’ Day celebrations.

A brief ceremony to honour the CEO was a surprise to her as she was not informed about the ceremony.

Chairperson of A1 Radio Staff Welfare Union, Mercy Yamtot Adongo who presented the a citation, a four yards of locally made cotton cloth popularly known as Fugu, said the honour was to show appreciation to the CEO for her motherly love, care and generosity for all staff. Aside the cloth and citation, there was also cake and Champaign.

On behalf of staff and management, General Manager of A1 Radio, William Nlanjerbor Jalulah, said the CEO, whom all staff of the station affectionately call Mama, is a dynamic mother who cares so much about the welfare of her staff. This, the General Manager said has contributed significantly to the success of the influential media house in the region.

Madam Bagnaba who could not control shedding tears because she was overwhelmed by the surprise said, “I am shocked and short of words. I am overwhelmed. I don’t know what to say. I am so much surprised at what you guys have done. But there is one thing that I can always ask for you; that is for the heavens to witness this day and just as you have remembered me and surprised me, may the Lord, in every hour, minute and second when blessing his own, never forgets you. I am shedding tears not because of anything but they are just tears of joy and I believe wherever my husband is [late], and your Dad is, if there is life after death, I know by now he is rejoicing. It’s not me alone that you are celebrating, he is part of me and you are celebrating him too. Myself, my family, appreciate the love. Not every organization that you go that they will accept you as a mother, it is not everybody that you can comfortably get closer to but you availed yourselves and made yourselves ready to work with me and that’s why I keep appreciating you guys. God bless you.”

Pastor Allen Emfraim Botchey of Royal Family Restoration Ministry and Pastor Moses Akoogo of Church of God Ghana, both station pastors at A1 Radio, took center stage in praying for the CEO, her family, the company and staff of the station.

My ‘Kalahari Bitters’ donation was to seek prayers against Covid-19- Bongo MP

0

Member of Parliament for Bongo Constituency in the Upper East Region,Edward Bawa has clarified the reason behind he distributing alcohol to some elders in his constituency.

The MP in his engagements with some constituents donated a bottle of a local hard liquor ‘Kalahari Bitters’ to pour libation to protect the constituency and the country from further spread of Covid-19.

However, his donation and motive has been met with public backlash forcing him to clarify the trending issue which has gained grounds on several media platforms.

Below is the full statement issued by the MP;

RE: NDC MP FOR BONGO DONATES ‘KALAHARI BITTERS’ TO FIGHT COVID 19
My attention has been drawn to a publication which appeared on Mynewsgh on May 8, 2020 with the above caption. Same has been published on other media portals.


Whilst I wish to acknowledge that a bottle of locally prepared gin is always added to the items presented to clan and family heads, the caption of the story is not only misleading, but unfair to the essence of the exercise.
The following are the facts:

As part of our efforts to ensure that we protect our people against the COVID 19 pandemic, my team and I decided to visit clan heads and the elderly in their homes to educate them and their households on the preventive protocols as prescribed by health experts.

These visits have taken us to about six hundred homes and families.In addition to this, we also present to each house hold, face masks and sanitizers.Bongo is predominantly traditional in terms of worship.

Therefore a bottle of alcohol is usually presented to the family or clan head to pour libation and ask our ancestors to intercede on behalf of Ghanaians so that we are spared from ravages of this pandemic.

This is very customary and as a product of my custom, I see this gesture not as an excuse to take alcohol but an attempt to tap into the benefits of the spiritual world particularly for those who believe in traditional worship.


Therefore to have a caption that does not reflect the true content of our exercise is unfortunate to say the least.I wish to therefore emphasise that I would not indulge in any acts that will jeopardise the health of my people who have graciously given me the opportunity to represent them in the national assembly.

I will also wish to thank all persons who saw the said article and drew my attention to it. God richly bless you.
Together we can defeat this disease.

Thank you and God bless us all.

COVID-19: Staff infection rate at UER Hospital likely to affect service delivery

0

The Ghana Health Service (GHS) in the Upper East Region says the high infection rate among health professionals at the Regional hospital has the potential to interrupt routine service delivery. 


Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA) in Bolgatanga, on the impact of the infection rate of staff of the Regional hospital on service delivery, Mr Zakariah Yakubu, the Head of Administration at the facility disclosed that a total of eight staff from the hospital were infected.

He said before the results of staff that came in contact with confirmed patients were released, they were under self-quarantine for two weeks.

Mr Yakubu said patient attendance to the hospital was generally low, “Work will continue as normal with more precaution. We have started mass testing for staff,” he added.

According to a current COVID-19 situation report from the GHS in the Region, seven persons turned out positive out of 168 samples that were tested after the last update, representing 4.2 percent.

Six people out of the seven new cases are contacts of a previously confirmed case while one was from routine surveillance which puts the total case count for the Region at 26, with 2 deaths.

The report indicated that the second death in the Region was recorded in the Bawku Municipality on April 26, 2020, the same day a sample from the patient was taken for laboratory investigation, adding that the deceased had a co-morbid condition.

Five Districts, namely the Bolgatanga, Bawku, Kassena-Nankana Municipalities, the Bawku West and Pusiga Districts have recorded cases of the virus, “Thirteen (13) cases are currently on admission. They are all stable and responding to treatment. Six of the seven cases are being prepared for admission,” the report said.

Apart from the 33year old pregnant woman who fully recovered and was discharged, the report said three additional patients also fully recovered after two successive negative tests were conducted, which brings the total recovery cases in the Region to four including one patient who was translocated to Accra.

From the report, 26 samples of suspected persons and contacts from the Bawku Municipality were sent for laboratory investigation, four out of the number turned out positive, and 18 were negative while four are pending.

The Bawku West District had six samples from suspected persons and contacts, one turned out positive, and four were negative, with one pending, while the Binduri and Bolgatanga East Districts had one and two suspected cases respectively which all turned out negative.

The Regional capital, Bolgatanga has the highest positive cases of 18, while 36 samples out of 412 were pending, as 358 turned out negative, Bongo District recorded no cases out of 12 suspected samples tested, ten came out negative with two pending.
