Let's break the silence surrounding chieftaincy issues in the Sissala area, Minister calls coconutnews

   The issue of chieftaincy is quite a sensitive issue, it is one that many people hardly talk about because of the implications attached to it. It is therefore not surprising that people are quite tight-lipped about chieftaincy issues in the Sissala Area.  Some people believe this attitude will not help the situation since there are always confrontations any time a chief passes on and a new one is to be enskinned. Most communities are always divided on this matter making it difficult for the new chief to begin his work. It is even worse when politician show partisan interest in such circumstances making the situation very difficult to solve, sometimes leading to deaths and gun fights in some communities in the area. But should the situation be left like that? Should the youth do something or sit and watch the situation helplessly without any effort to help reduce the tensions that arise in such situations.

   The deputy regional minister for Upper West region Hon. Amidu Chinnia has weighed into the debate of making chieftaincy institutionalized in the Sissala area to reduce the tensions created by it, he was speaking today at an annual meeting organized by the youth of Tumu to review the activities of the youth in the Sissala East area. He said the era were people shy away from this chieftaincy issues was over and therefore charged the youth to see how they could institutionalized this matter to prevent future confusion. Hon. Chinnia said when this is done, come 20-50 years time their children will know the succession criteria in each area. He said the Sissala Youth Forum and Sissala Union, can sit with the various stakeholders to plan on the gates and how it will move from one gate to the other to discuss these matters. 

   The minister also talked about how the government was dealing with this challenge and how they can help reduce the level of poverty in the Sissala area. He mentioned planting for foods and jobs and other social interventions that the government was prosecuting to better the lives of people in the Sissala area and Ghana as a whole.

He was speaking on a Tumu Based radio station on a program called news review. Hon. Yakubu said the lack of implementation of the one village one dam, one district one factory, one million dollars per constituency and many more were the reasons why the youth in the area were engaging in rosewood business. He said the youth have nothing to do and that is why they resort to these acts so if government delivers on its promises, such acts will stop.

He also spoke about the general feeling over the last one year and said he has seen nothing significant happening to Ghana, so the president should act very quickly to achieve his campaign promises.

Save them now, the sad story of Kulfuo Health center i coconutnews24

  Water they say is life, without water there will be no life, this and many reasons cause government's, corporate bodies and other individuals to invest heavily on water resources. In some countries water is such a scarce commodity that they struggle to get it unlike in Ghana where the situation is relatively better. In those countries, people sometimes will have to spend millions and millions to get water to drink not to talk of water for washing and other domestic purposes. In Ghana we spend less money or sometimes no money to enjoy this commodity.
That notwithstanding, in Ghana too as others get this commodity very easily others will have to travel long distance to access this commodity. The story of Kulfuo health center is no different from the many problems that face other institutions in the district.
  Kulfuo is a community located in the Sissala East district of Upper West Region, it shares boundaries with Pieng from the North, Tarsor from the South, Sakai from the West and Nyanduanu from the East. It has a lot of government projects but coconutnews24 will like to focus on the only health center they have. This health center serve communities around it like Nyanduanu, Kroboi, Challa and others. They have one key problem and that is water accessibility for the workers and patients that use the facility. The center has a very beautiful and fine borehole at its center to serve the facility, but this borehole is not in good condition. Today coconutnews24 spoke to a staff at the health center by name Tijani Yaapie, he said for you to fetch water in that borehole you will have to pomp for more than 20 minutes before water comes out from the borehole, he said they go through hell to access water there and said they want to appeal to government, NGOs and concerned communities to help them convert this borehole into a mechanized tap for easy usage. He said they have made several appeals to some concerned community members but are yet to see something concrete done on that structure.
  Out of curiosity, coconutnews24  tried to pomp the borehole to see the truth of what the worker had said and the story turned out to be true. We had to pump for more than 15 minutes before water could flow, therefore corroborating the story told by Mr Tijani Yaapie . The health center is appealing to the general public to help them mechanized their only borehole to help them fetch water early to go to work on time. The staff there are always reluctant to fetch water there first because for the first person, it is often an up hill task. The Kulfuo health center also needs means of transport for emergencies, expansion of the facility and many more.

Leaked Kwesi Botchwey report recommended unity tour and not unity walk l coconutnews24.com

   Even before we officially see the Kwesi Botchwey report, the ruling New Patriotic Party ( NPP) government seem to have more details concerning the report than many other Ghanaians. One of their communication officers from Sissala West in the Upper West Region Mr. Abass Karim has said that, the leaked Kwesi Botchwey report did not recommend unity walk but rather recommended a unity tour. He insisted that the opposition party has implemented the report very wrongly, saying that it is not only the ten regional chairmen who have engaged in this illegality in their own party but the whole party led by former president John Mamaha started it when they wrongfully engaged in the unity walk. He also argued that, regarding what the regional chairmen did, there where two conflicting schools of thoughts. While  some in the party like Kofi Adams and co supported the walks, others such as Rockson Adei think the action was wrong and they must be reprimanded.
   Mr. Abass remarked that he supports the position of those who said it was wrong because they said those who were arguing in that direction were making reference to their party constitution. He said the other side who thinks their action was right never mentioned their party constitution, Mr. Abass was responding to the actions of the ten NDC regional chairmen who openly called on the former president to consider coming back to lead the party. He also touched on the controversy between the former president John Mamaha and vice president Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia on the Ghana Post GPS saying that the vice president hit the nail on the head when he responded to the former president in like manner. Mr. Abass also commented on the  rosewwod issue, presiding member confirmation and the budget to be read on Wednesday by finance minister.
Mr. Abass was speaking on a Tumu based radio station Radford FM on a program called news review, a program hosted on every Saturday that highlights all the major issues of the week. He said that he thinks his government will work to create jobs for the jobless youth in the country.

"Anything free is not valued, i do not like free things said ... " I coconutnews24

   " I do not like free things, anything free is not valued " he continued, " I want to pay for the education of my children, if you make education free the citizens will eat free, sleep free and fail free". This were the words of John Bagbara, a communications spokes person for the Peoples National Convention ( PNC) on Radford FM yesterday. He was responding to whether the NPP government has implemented its manifesto promises based on which they were elected. He said gradually, the government is achieving its promises but there were some huge problems with most of the promises. Explaining further, he said the NPP government brought planting for foods and jobs which also brought with it fall army worms which has devastated many farms. He said the government also restored the allowances of nurses but has not guaranteed their automatic employment.
    Mr. John continued that he saw some pictures on social media where students were being served food on the bare floor in one senior high school. He lamented that if this how bad things are getting, then the government should have rather used the free education resources to build more infrastructure for the various senior high schools in  Ghana. He questioned the rationale for implementing a policy when the necessary infrastructure and  basic facilities like a place for serving food are not available. He said when you give Ghanaians something free, they will enjoy it free, eat free, sleep free and fail in the long run free. This why Mr. John said he personally doesn't support anything free from government. He rather advised the government to invest the resources they are using for free education to build more infrastructure for the various senior high schools.
   Mr. John was speaking on a Tumu based radio station, Radford FM on a current affairs program news review. This is a program hosted every Saturday which engages duty bearers on their responsibilities. It was on this program that he made these submissions on the topic, news for the week.

He also spoke about how the Sissala east district can develop by making circuit supervisors to stay at their circuit centers. He said doing that will cut down on cost.

Tribute to Thomas Sankara l coconutnews24

Born in 1949, he grew up witnessing leaders from various African countries agitating for independence from their colonial masters.

At age 19, Thomas embraced a new adventure, the military. Whilst serving as an officer, he gained recognition and admiration for his exceptional achievements on battlefield. He was also conscious of the political activities in Burkina Faso thereby taking interest in the affairs of the ordinary citizen.

Devastated by the heightened corruption, lack of basic social amenities, injustice and opulence of the ruling class, Thomas Sankara risked his life to liberate the people of Burkina Faso.

At the age 33, Thomas Sankara became president after toppling the government of the day. Many questioned his ability to deliver at 33.

In the next four years as leader of Burkina Faso, he fought corruption rigorously by adopting a very humble lifestyle different from many African leaders. He increased school enrollment at astronomical levels and dared  the gods of his land by ensuring women were given equal opportunities like their male counterparts. He rescued his people from the dungeons of ignorance, foreign aid and gave meaning to their existence without class discrimination.

Like many liberators, Thomas did not live to witness the fructification of his efforts. His life was shortened by a man whose 27 years can't  compare to a year of Thomas's four years.

As an agitator of total Independence for the African continent, I wish to draw our attention to the legacies of this great Son of ours. In celebrating his life, let us reflect on what he stood for. The best way to honor  a man is to continue and achieve what he wished for his people but couldn't complete his mission.

Forever with us.
