administration is necessary for Ghana's development -
Gambila
Bolgatanga, July 03, GNA - Mr Boniface Gambila, Upper East
Regional Minister has observed that any change in governance
would derail Ghana's forward march to prosperity.
He noted that within the past seven years the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) Government had transformed the country
unprecedented in her socio-economic development in health,
education, agriculture and social infrastructure.
"No one can dispute the benefits of Capitation Grant, School
Feeding Programme, National Youth Employment Programme,
National Health Insurance Scheme, and the numerous road
networks being provided across the country," he added.
Mr Gambila made the observation at a luncheon to honour
Senior Citizens in the Upper East Region as part of
activities to commemorate Republic Day in Bolgatanga.

failed to retain NPP in next year's general election, to
enable it continue with those policies and programmes to
their logical conclusion for the benefit of the citizenry."
Mr Gambila said as senior citizens and opinion leaders, they
had a better appreciation of the problems facing the
country, therefore it would necessary for them to sensitise
the people in their respective communities about the
developments to enable them make wise political choices in
2008.
He said the people would benefit from the reactivated
Pwalugu Tomato Factory to reduce poverty by providing ready
market for local tomato farmers and generate jobs for the
unemployed youth in the area.
Mr Gambila said Government would continue to pursue prudent
policies and programmes to consolidate the country's
economic gains and into a middle-income status.

devoted services to the region and the nation.
