Northern Region MPs are ‘errand boys’ – Bugri Naabu

By -

Outspoken Northern Regional Chairman of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Daniel Bugri Naabu has taken a swipe at some Members of Parliament in the region, describing them as “errand boys”.

He claimed majority of MPs in the Northern Region who have been in the House for ages, still lack the parliamentary antics to lobby for projects for their constituencies.

He insinuated, “Our NDC Parliamentarians, they go and buy food and serve the rest of our Parliamentarians in this country: if I am not telling the truth the NDC MP is here go and ask him[referring to Thomas Nassah, MP for Gushegu].”

The NPP Northern Regional Chairman was addressing a large gathering on the occasion of the annual Linujil (Yam Festival) celebrated by the chiefs and people of Bunbong-Naayili, predominantly a Konkomba farming settlement in the Yendi Municipality.
He challenged the MPs in the region to let the voices of their constituents who are virtually poor be heard on the floor of parliament.

Daniel Bugri Naabu thus charged northern electorates to “change position” in 2016 by rejecting those he referred to as “incompetent MPs.”

According to him, it will be in the interest of the people in the region to vote for MPs who think more developmental.

He cited Deputy Minority leader, Hon. Dominick Nitiwul to buttress his point that the NPP have the men to deliver in Parliament.

“What I am going to tell you is that make sure come 2016, Konkomba area you vote for NPP massively so that your credibility and for people to recognize you will be restored.”

“Even NPP who is in minority, the Deputy Minority leader is a Konkomba, you all know that,” he boasted.

Even though the Northern Region contributes significantly to Ghana’s food basket, it also considered one of the poorest in the country.

This is one of the reasons the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) initiated the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) to

Vice Chancellor of the University for Development Studies (UDS) Prof. Gabriel Ayum Teye has made a case against the planned conversion of polytechnics into universities. According to him, the move will only increase the graduate unemployment population which currently stands at 300,000. This is according to data from the Institute of Statistical and Economic Research (ISSER). “Now we have 10 public universities that produce graduates and by next month we will have 16 public universities in Ghana. “So if you’re having problems with 10 and you add another 6 to it making 16 are you solving the problem or compounding it,” he queried. Prof Ayum Teye was speaking at the 22nd National Delegates’ Congress of the Graduate Students Association of Ghana (GRASAG) in Tamale. He said government is therefore better off supporting the growth of industry to be able to absorb the large number of unemployed graduates. “Government must support industry to grow in order to absorb the huge nu

The Northern Regional Director of Education, Mohammed Haroon Cambodia has confirmed government will be paying a staggering GHC400,000 as judgment debt to a private citizen in order to stop the auctioning of vehicles belonging to the Ghana Senior High School in Tamale. Government is offering the bailout following a chronic transport difficulty that has hit the school for the last two years after a court order impounded the only bus for students and a brand new official pickup vehicle. Two Nissan patrol vehicles belonging to the Education directorate were also taken by the court. The vehicles were confiscated to be auctioned to pay up salary arrears of a former headmaster of the school who accused the school and education service of injustices including inappropriate dismissal and concealing his promotion letter. Late Lionel Mahama was dismissed as headmaster of the school in 1997. His salary was blocked for years until a CHRAJ ruled in his favor and ordered his reinstateme
