Prof Kaburise to contest Energy
Minister in NPP primary
Tamale, July 5, GNA - Professor John Bonaventure Kubongpwa
Kaburise, the former Vice-Chancellor of the University for
Development Studies (UDS), on Thursday declared his
intention to contest the NPP Navrongo Central constituency
primary.
"I am the best candidate with rich and vast experience to
liberate my constituents from the numerous hardships they
have gone through over the years," the 57-year-old professor
told the Ghana News Agency in an interview.
He said he had taught for over 30 years in about five
continents and had experienced the political terrain
including giving advice to both local and international
politicians and "it is this versatile wisdom that I wish to
impart to Ghanaian politics."
The former Vice-Chancellor said he had developed a lot of
networks both locally and internationally in educational,
social and economic fields adding: "I can use these to bring
development to the doorstep of the people and new ideas for
efficient management of the Ghanaian economy".
Prof. Kaburise said he had been a member of the NPP since
2000 but had remained neutral while in office as the
Vice-Chancellor of the UDS.
"The NPP, with me as the candidate, is the best political
party to salvage the people of Navrongo," he said, adding:
"Politics is about management of the resources to improve
the lives of the people especially the suffering masses".
The Prof, who has already started an intensive campaign in
his constituency, said the Youth Wing of the NPP and
traditional leaders had already thrown their weight behind
him with the conviction that he could best address their
needs.
He said he had firmly established his financial security
already adding: "I don't need politics to survive. I am only
out to serve my people to put value to their lives".
