The Chiefs and Queenmothers in the Builsa South District region have appealed to former President John Dramani Mahama to consider extending rural electrification to communities that were yet to benefit from it if elected as President.
Addressing the flagbearer of the NDC and his team in Fumbisi, the Doninga Chief, Nab Atabnueong Adiila Akanbeanab Akanbong, highlighted the need for a new NDC government to consider this appeal.
Speaking on behalf of all the Chiefs and Queenmothers, he acknowledged that the NDC has a solid track record of extending electricity to various communities across the country, particularly rural areas.
He believes that energy is an important catalyst for the creation of jobs, the improvement of livelihoods, and a prerequisite for national development.
“However, many of our communities do not have access to electricity. In view of your achievements in extending rural electrification to most parts of our communities, we have no doubt at all that your second coming will witness an aggressive program of rural electrification that will cover the remaining unserved communities in our districts.”
He further commended the former president for his track record in the health sector and requested more initiatives should the NDC win the elections.
He also appealed to him to complete all existing projects initiated by the NPP if the NDC takes over the administration of the country.
“Finally, we note with satisfaction your policy on health when you were president, which ensured that the Builsa South district had its fair share of CHPS Compound, which was constructed in many parts of the country to address the health needs of our people.
We humbly appeal to your excellency that, upon your assumption of office, you will ensure that the CHPS compound works fully, with the possibility of upgrading some of them into clinics and polyclinics.
Furthermore, we hope that you will undertake to complete all ongoing projects initiated by the current government in our districts if they are uncompleted by the time that you are made president by the people of Ghana.”
