A communications member of the new patriotic party (NPP) Mr. Hudu Muah has thanked the deputy regional minister Hon. Amidu Chinnia and his boss the regional minister Mr. Alhassan Sulemana for their timely intervention to settle matters arising in the Sissala West District some few days back. He said if not for their timely intervention after the issue broke out, it would have escalated out of hand. He said when the issue broke, it did not take more than 24 hours and the deputy regional minister had to travel from Wa to Gwollu to help solve the differences. This was followed by a visit by the regional minister himself who also went there to calm nerves. He said the root cause of the disturbance could be traced to lack of effective communication between the parties involved in the case.
Some few days back, it was reported that some aggrieved youth in Sissala west had flocked to the office of the DCE alleging that he was behind a perceived change of a position which was meant for one party member to another. It had to do with the position of MASLOC boss, the aggrieved youth alleged the DCE was behind the change in position from their favourite to the favourite of the DCE Hon. Mohammed Bakor. So the youth for the area were demanding that the position be reserved for their favourite candidate. The youth mobilized and locked the offices of the DCE to register their displeasure in the ongoing situation.
However with the intervention of the two regional ministers, normality has returned. Mr. Muah also thanked the constituency party chairman and other party executive for listening to the call of the regional minister.
Mr. Hudu Muah made his views known on Radford FM yesterday evening on a program called news review, Mr. Muah was asked by the host to respond to the issues that happened in Sissala West District of the Upper West region. He said he was happy now that calm has returned to the area and called on all party members to be patient and use approved ways to resolve their differences. Mr. Muah also spoke on the perceived Kwesi Botwey report saying that the report was true because all issue raised are things everybody can see. He said they NDC even made "JM" more popular than the party " NDC" itself and that you don't need any 'KB' report to tell you it is authentit

"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.

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.

Now most people have good talents in the entertainment industry, more movie stars are coming, more musicians are coming, more music producers are coming and more film directors are also emerging. In Ghana when we talk of music or movie most of us turn to look at our big cities and the capital town, forgetting that there are millions of musicians and movie stars in the rural areas. Now technology has made everything easy on this earth. Technology has bridged the gap between rural and urban centers. Now, some people with the necessary resources in the rural areas have more quality movies and music due to the level of technology everywhere in Ghana. Gone are the days where musicians were only centralised in Accra and Kumasi. We have seen a major paradigm shift and in northern Ghana you will see great artists like Fancy Gadam and Maccasio making headlines in Ghana from Tamale in the north.

He said when those equipments were bought they could not be used here, he said the tipper track was too high for people to use and the grader could not move a long distance unless is conveyed by a low bed machine. It was after this the host Bashiru Jinapor suggests that then from what he was saying, there was no proper needs inventory done before their purchase, this the Hon.

See how the people of Jawia go through to make or revive calls l coconutnews24
Jawia the born home of the former road minister who was later made the upper west regional minister is complaining of network problem in their community, you will have to travel to Jawia to see the hell they go through just to call love once or receive calls from friends. Is pathetic in this our 21 century a community like Jawia not very far from the district capital Gwollu and even Tumu still have to position their phones at vantage places to make calls. The community have identity certain areas in the community where they can get network, they place their phones there waiting for calls. You will have to see how a mobile money agent there struggle to do mobile money, is just like hell.
coconutnews24 picked this information from Facebook on Babini Forgor Luckman's wall, this what he said when he saw the situation in that area. He wrote on his timeline as " This is what the people of Jawia goes through to get phone service to make calls and mobile money transaction. The authorities should please help the people of Jawia to get a service pole. This is how they will put the phones and wait for calls. Good evening." Mr. Babini have also called on the stakeholders responsible for providing mobile network services to try and give the People of Jawia a service pole or increase the coverage of the available network poles to get to Jawia. NGOs and other organizations can help them out.
coconutnews24 can also confirm that this not the only community in need of network poles, as we speak now Sissala West is one of the Luckiest district in Ghana because they have electricity coverage in almost all the communities under that district, is only three or four communities without light. This are the things that help open up a place for development. We hope to see something positive from there.

Spotted an over 60 year old car of former president l coconutnew24
coconutnews24 just spotted an over 60 year old car of the former president of the republic of Ghana Dr. Hilla limann, if you look at the car very well is an old car from the colonial days, it was the only car they saw after his death. So a full president of Ghana for almost two years has only a colonial car which cannot even move today as we speak but what are we seeing today? Some gets there just a day old and what they have you and your entire finally can work for all your years but you will not get closer. This car shows how the former president was very clean with state resources, he was someone who did not like to take someone's property. Today no one can point fingers at him by saying he stole state resources.
Today can political leaders do that? I don't think so, why? Because when you do that even today society will insult you and say all manner of things after your power. They will even say a full political head and you have no house, car of even good education for your children. So today our leaders are corrupt not because they are corrupt but society made them so, even though we have some few leaders who's primary responsibility is to make money. So if you are a leader now and you want it be like Dr. Limann of those days know the result of your action before you attempt.
His Excellency Dr. Hilla Limann your good works still live long.

A Distress Letter to Sissala East District Assembly l coconutnews24
Dear DCE,
I trust your very person and others in your outfit are doing well!
This seem to be my first letter to you since your assumption into office earlier this year. I am writing to you on an urgent issues that if not attended to,may claim lives in the not too far. Destructively, the same issues have started costing unsuspecting people colossal sums of monies.
The issues have to do with the actions and inaction's of departments under your outfit,the District Assembly, the Tumu township and the District at large has being plagued with life threatening potholes while some developing into manholes and all what the District can do is to sit aloof and spend huge sums of monies on our tipper truck and Carterpilar all in the name of maintenance.
Reliable information I picked shows that, these two so called assets have never raked in just one thousand Ghana cedes, when even a trip of sand cost almost three hundred Ghana cedes. As for the grader the less talked about it the better. Your people have an anti-development attitude of always procuring parts to fix it even when is on road working,to an extent we currently have a spare part procured and lying down when it was not needed.
There are these three deep potholes on the main lorry station to the customs border stretch of road that have been left unattended to for some time now. The last pothole before the border has been spot for vehicles somersaulting and in the spree of two weeks we have recorded several accidents and as I write now currently lying down there is a heavy truck with goods splashed all over the grounds. Damages cannot be counted.
With all these, the Assembly has a revenue collector 24/7 at the border whose surveillance is more than a camera, taking in revenue for the assembly but it has never occurred to the Assembly to fill those potholes.
Now questions that need answers, who is responsible for filling the potholes? What was the rational for buying the two assets?who signed them to duties? Annually how much the does the Assembly rake in from the two assets? Should we always wait for the president to visit before we pretend to fill potholes? Is our Assembly manned by reactionary leaders instead of proactive leaders?
The district Assembly has taken us for granted for far too long. It is time we tell them in their faces enough is enough. The are bent on using the two assets to milk the District. Engineers who have penchant for harassing contractors for bribes and facilitating shoddy works.
It is a shame, we get paid for no work done. It is a shame to take revenue from these vehicles and facilitate their accidents. The is totally irresponsible on the part of the Assembly.
Wake up! Wake up? It is not two late.

But if you are a leader and always bring one side and leave the other, the other side will fell neglected and this can lead to a situation that can bring party disunity.
Mr. Kukulmua praise the DCE for Sissala East Hon. Karim Nanyua for the way he brought all party sides together to work and said that was the way to go which will promote party unity. He said all this things when he was asked to respond to what minister for inner cities and gongo development Mr. Abubakr Boniface Sadique on Radford fm current affair program called news review about party unity, you know he told the Concombas and the Dagombas in Accra that " politicians eat and drink together, so don't fight for them.

4 YEAR OLD BOY MARK, NEEDS YOUR SUPPORT TO CORRECT BACK DEFECT TO GO TO SCHOOL
This is 4year old Mark Kukultie Ninjo who has been suffering from a condition called kyphosis ( Hunch Back) for the past 3 years and left at home as resources are not available to seek medical care in Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
The family says he started walking until two years ago when he complained of pains from the back,but each time they visited the hospital, they were treated and discharged.
The condition did not improve until he finally gave up walking and has remained in one position to date.Unable to walk nor do anything to help himself.He sits all alone if his friends don't come around from school and plays with the sand.
He finds it difficult to even sit, he sleep on parked pillows but on sideway, but relish going to school and cries each time all the children leave for school everyday,his parents will normally dress him in a school uniform to make him happy but the mother tells me she feels no school will admit him,in view of his state,he has to bend through out the day with the legs behind in one position unless moved by the mother or the father,his penis has developed blisters due to the long hours of sitting, he cannot be put behind and wrapped due to the pain coming from the hunch .His main structure is almost curved and partially deformed.Mark friends come around him only week ends,and even that he cannot follow them to wherever they play to,he shouts to play with them.
The parents of young mark, Kwaku Ninjon met me yesterday and told me they have been advised to tell RadfordFM about their situation so we can tell their story to the world.'We have moved from hospital to hospital within and Upper west region and his situation is worst, yet no way forward for them,and I have sold everything I have and waiting on God".Kwaku told us. Finally, Dr. Charles Wood, medical director for Sissala East disrict hospital has finally referred them to the KATH,Komfo Anokye Teaching hospital,Kumasi,but due to financial problem,it appears little Mark would be left at home as the father ,a farmer has no resources again to take him to KATH where he is told he would require up to Twenty to Thirty Thousand Ghana Cedis for the condition to be corrected.
On Sunday afternoon after visiting Mark and his parents, the father appealed to the general public for support.The mother told RadfordFM Marks' situation makes it difficult for her to do anything for herself and the family as she must be around to move him from one position to the other or clean when he soils himself.
Just when we visited them sunday afternoon,we heard the MP for Sissala West was in town,so RadfordFM led the parents to meet Hon.Patrick Adamah. He instantly promised Five Thousand Ghana Cedis and asked us to appeal to others to support.He asked the Parents to let him know the Doctor to be assigned to take care of Mark.He appealed to Sissala East MP,Wa East MP to also support Mark who told me he wants to go to school.
You May call to support through RadfordFM on 0205825671
