Bear with Government –
Deputy Minister tells constituents
Komenda-Sehwi, Aug. 10, GNA – The Deputy
Minister of Education, Dr Joseph Annan, said on Saturday
that the current economic hardships facing Ghanaians is the
making of the previous regime and not the NDC Government.
He therefore asked the people to give the necessary support
to President Atta Mills and his men to enable them to
salvage the shattered economy.
Dr. Annan who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for
Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) was addressing the five
communities as part of his on-going familiarization tour of
the constituency.
The communities are Sehwi, Komfokrom, Kwameata, Apeakokrom
and Appiakrom.
So far the Minister had covered 52 out of 365 communities
under his constituency.
Dr. Annan said education is the bedrock of every society,
and appealed to parents to ensure the education of their
children.
On development, he said government cannot provide all the
people’s basic requirements, and urged the communities to
initiate self-help projects to supplement the government’s
efforts.
He said the functional literacy programme was being revived
and appealed to the aged to enrol to learn to read and
write.
Dr. Annan thanked the people for voting massively for the
NDC during the December 2008 elections, and promised to help
solve some of the problems facing the communities.
The residents expressed concern about the deplorable nature
of roads in the area, and appealed to the Department of
Feeder Roads to rehabilitate the roads to ensure the easy
transportation of foodstuff to marketing centres.
