Nabdam NPP Reduces Party to Family Affair, Careless About Competence – Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane

The Member of Parliament for the Nabdam Constituency, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, has criticized the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Nabdam Constituency for turning the party into a family affair. Apexnewsgh reports According to Dr. Nawaane, the NPP’s decision to allow Boniface Gambila to hand over to his younger brother, Charles Ndanbon, is a clear indication of the party’s lack of competent representatives. Dr. Nawaane emphasized that in politics, one should not underestimate any opponent, especially when they appear to have resources. However, he believes that the NPP’s reliance on family ties rather than merit is a grave mistake. He pointed out that this approach is not in line with Ghana’s political tradition, citing examples of former presidents who did not hand over power to their family members. “Former Kufour did not hand over to his brother, Mills did not handover to his brother, Mahama did not handover to his brother and this is because they understand is a political party and not a family party” Dr. Nawaane also expressed confidence in his campaign, stating that he is ahead of his opponent, Charles Ndanbon. He accused Mr. Ndanbon who is currently hungry for the parliamentary seat of relying on the incentives released to the DCE to campaign, especially using initiatives like the SOCO project and fertilizer distribution as his own accomplishments. The MP’s comments suggest that the NPP’s focus on family ties rather than competence may harm their chances in the upcoming elections.

Nabdam’s Plight: Dr. Nawaane MP Accuses NPP of Failing to Address Poverty

Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, Member of Parliament for Nabdam Constituency, has lambasted the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for the escalating poverty afflicting his constituents. Citing a National Service Scheme (NSS) multidimensional study, Dr. Nawaane revealed that a staggering 68% of Nabdam residents are poorer now than they were in 2015. Apexnewsgh reports “This is the harsh reality the NPP has brought upon the people of Nabdam,” he declared. The MP also lamented the decline of agriculture in the district, attributing it to the breakdown of five tractors that once assisted farmers. “Now, farming has become an arduous task for my people,” he added. Dr. Nawaane expressed his discontent with the government’s 1 Village, 1 Dam (1V1D) policy, labeling it a “dud” that fails to provide meaningful benefits to the people of Nabdam, especially during the dry season. The MP urged his constituents to reclaim what they have lost during the NPP’s eight-year tenure, emphasizing the need to restore their livelihoods and well-being. His impassioned plea came during a mini rally in his constituency, where he vowed to continue advocating for the welfare of his people. He concluded his impassioned address by urging his constituents to take action against the incumbent government. “It is time to reclaim our dignity and restore our livelihoods,” he declared. “Let us vote out the NPP and bring in a new era of prosperity and progress.” With conviction, Dr. Nawaane called on the people of Nabdam to cast their ballots for John Dramani Mahama as President and for him as their Parliamentary candidate in the upcoming December 7 general election. “Together, we can make a difference and create a brighter future for ourselves and generations to come,” he emphasized. The crowd erupted in cheers and applause, signaling their support for Dr. Nawaane’s plea. As the mini rally came to a close, the MP’s message resonated with the people of Nabdam, fueling their determination to bring about change and hold their leaders accountable for the hardships they have endured. The stage was set for a pivotal election, one that would determine the course of Nabdam’s future and the fate of its people.

Upper East Dialysis Project: Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane becomes the first MP to donate towards dialysis project

Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, the Member of Parliament for the Nabdam Constituency and Health Committee ranking member in Parliament, has generously donated Ghc 5,000.00 to support the ongoing dialysis project at the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital. Apexnewsgh.com report He is the first MP from the region to respond to the call for contributions towards this crucial health development. The MPs in the region have faced criticism from their constituents for their apparent lack of interest in the dialysis project. In addition to the MPs’ lack of seriousness towards the dialysis project, the MMDCEs have also fallen short in terms of their Ghc 5,000 contributions, which were initiated by the Upper East Regional Minister. Out of the 15 MMDCEs in the region, only 4 have fulfilled their commitment to donate to the hospital management. The remaining 13 MMDCEs’ refusal to contribute suggests a disregard for the well-being of others in the region. During a meeting with the hospital management, Dr. Nawaane, the MP for Nabdam, clarified that a letter had been provided to their caucus leader, and thankfully it had been circulated among all the MPs. He emphasized that it was decided that individual districts should come forward and make their donations towards the project. “The dialysis issue is quite very important for the region. In Ghana, there are about 52, 400 patients who have got liver failure and out of the 52,400 only 1,200 were reporting to health facilities for dialysis and this is as a result of accessibility and affordability. In some areas like Upper East Region, you cannot get dialysis and I think we are trying to establish one now, but another aspect is the cost. The average cost current is about GhC 2000.00 per week if you follow the instruction and go for 4 section and is too much”. “During our budget debate, the government said that they were establishing a kidney transplant division at Korle-Bu, it is a good idea but, I think at the moment what we really need is how to make dialysis affordable to the patients so that we can have these 52,400 coming out for it. They are not coming because they know they can’t even pay”. He stressed If patient can’t afford dialysis, how can they afford kidney transplantation? Management of the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital led by Medical Director Dr. Saanwie Aiden received the Ghc 5000.00 cheque donation with excitement and thanked the Member of Parliament greatly for his contribution. He said, Dr. Nawaane’s donation should be the beginning of the relationship between him and the hospital. He further noted that, “The cost for dialysis is huge and expensive and we need all the help we can get to be able to establish a center. Beyond establishing a center, sustainability is the next key issue we will be looking at. We are targeting that by the end of this year, we should be able to commission the center and the first patient should go through the sections of dialysis”. However, as Oliver twists the Medical Director asked for more. Meanwhile, Dr. Nawaane was taken round the dialysis facility center by the Bolgatanga Regional Hospital Administrator as he was given update on stages of work done so far. According to Dr. Nawaane, the rest of the MPs are expected to follow up with their Ghc 5000,00 donation, this he said was their conclusion as a Caucus.

NABDAM: I am compelled to respond to Nawaane’s false assertions–Nabdam MP hopeful

My attention has been drawn to a post by the MP for Nabdam using very unfortunate words to describe the manner in which I filed my nomination forms. I find the choice of words of my senior comrade who has been in parliament for almost 2 terms and has equally contested to be a member parliament in Dunkwa where he has invested his most of his expertise and resources but failed to make it until Nabdams honoured him to represent us in parliament, very unfortunate. 1. He said that I nicodemusly filed my nomination forms, which suggests that that I filed my forms in a manner that is unacceptable. Let me put on record that I published on social media and to all stakeholders that I would file my nomination forms on 20th March, 2023 at 10am and I invited everyone to join me to do same. At 10a.m I was accompanied by senior members of my campaign team to the Constituency Party Office at Nangodi, where we were received by the Constituency Elections Committee who were fully present. We successfully filed our forms at 10:31a.m and we took photographs with the committee before left the party office. The party office is a public place. I filed my nomination forms in the presence of all members of the committee within the working hours of the period scheduled by the party for filing of nominations. How can this be described as nicodemus? The smart decision we took by leaving to go to the party office ahead of our crowd to file my nomination forms left the MP unpleasantly, compelling him to question the chairman of the Elections Committee but we are not bothered. 2. The MP alleges that I was accompanied by a rented crowd made of suspected NPP members. I find this allegation to be a compliment since it is only a very good and attractive candidate who can attract people from other political parties to increase the fortunes of the NDC in the 2024 and guarantee a resounding victory for John Mahama as president and Lawyer Lamtiig as MP for Nabdam. Let me state clearly that the over 800 party supporters who joined me to tour the major streets of Nabdam did so voluntarily unlike the MP who sent his team to write the names of delegates who would accompany him to file his nomination with the promise that each delegate will receive ghc500 only to end up giving each delegate ghc100 and ghc10 to non-delegates. It is he who vowed to buy delegates with money even if it will mean spending dollars. Unfortunately his plans are failing him hence desperation has set in too early. We did not share money to anyone who joined us to file our nomination forms, they showed opened love to Lawyer Lamtiig due to my good works, message of love, humility, mutual respect and leadership ready to serve the best interest of Nabdams. 3. The MP described me as a pawn in a game of chess. This the 3rd time he has described me as such and I reject same. I have pledged to conduct a campaign devoid of insults and personal attacks, particularly because my parents trained me not insult people and I won’t disappoint them. The 4way test of my Rotary Club remains a strong virtue that guides my thought, words and actions. I still stand by these words 1. Is it the truth 2. Is it fair to all concerned 3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned 4. I will not spend much time on his false assertion that he had 400 delegates accompanying him to file his nomination forms. I understand how losing politicians peddle falsehood to deceive themselves yet in private conversations on the road from Tamale to Bolga they confessrd how difficult the pending primaries will be for them. Walls have ears. I’m sincere to report that out of the crowd of about 800 party supporters who accompanied me to file my nomination forms 278 delegates joined us and we have their names and phone numbers. I have been compelled to respond to the publication by Nawaane to correct his rather false assertions in order to avoid the situation where my silence may be construed as an acquiescence! As the motto of my secondary school (ST. THOMAS AQUINAS) says, Veritas Liberat, to wit Truth shall set you free and the motto of the Commonwealth Hall tells us: Truth stands, I remained guided.

UER: NPP Regional Youth Organizer descends on NDC MPs, questioned their….

The Upper East Youth Organizer of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Salahu-Deen Musah Al-Khomeini has descended on some MPs representing the region in parliament under the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). Apexnewsgh.com report The Regional Youth Organizer questioned the MP’s contribution in terms of developmental projects in their constituencies since allowed to serve their people. He made the demand during an engagement on Apexnews Ghana’s flagship development programme dubbed “SPEAKOUT UPPER EAST REGION” with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen on Monday, October 17, 2022.Mr. Musah Al-Khomeini is of the view that, if one wants to place blame, on those who have led the developmental challenges in the region, it must be put at the doorstep of the NDC MPs from the region. “Look at Dr. Nawaane, today is his second time and he cannot boost off a single project in the Nabdam District. The same with BT Baba in Talensi. Come to Isaac Adongo, apart from buying mobile phones and sharing to delegates to vote for him, he cannot boost off a single project in the Bolgatanga central”. He stressed Explaining further, he said; “Go to Tempane where Lambon is coming from, Tempane MP Lydia as we speak came to Tempane with 5 tailoring machines, shared to women went to a radio sat down, and said that she has brought a lot of tailoring machine and share to the women of Tempane. Look at Mahama Aayriga MP for Bawku Central, he cannot boost for a single project he has started and completed and commissioned in Bawku central, these are proven facts. Look at Sampson in Navrongo, what did he do? He came with a street light and that become a celebration that the MP is doing well. Look at what Abanga is doing in Binduri, Abanga bought a borehole drilling machine and the machine is in the constituency drilling boreholes from one community to another, and even houses that request for boreholes, they drill for them. This is an MP that is working trying to change the lives of the people of Binduri. When you go to Builsa North, the only thing Agalga can boost off in Builsa North is sending five people to the Police Service and all of a sudden people are saying Agalga has sent….beyond that nothing more. You cannot point to any developmental project that has been done by them”. “Today as we speak, we are constructing the Weaga road. If am going to mention the NDC MPs in the Upper East Region and how they have been maltreated and how they have mishandled and how they did not take their constituents serious is very amazing”. He said However, Mr. Al-Khomeini believes that when it comes to the predicament bedeviling the people of the Upper East Region, the NDC in general enjoyed a lot of political fortune in the Upper East Region and you would agree with me that when it comes to political representation in the parliament of this country, the NDC enjoyed a lot of success from the people of the Upper East Region. Currently, as we speak, we have 1 MP for the NPP and 14 for the NDC. He pointed Source: Apexnewsgh.com/Ghana For publication please kindly contact us on 0256336062 or Email: apexnewsgh@gmail.com

Member of Parliament for the Nabdam Constituency in the Upper East Region Dr. Mark Kurt-Nawaane has made a strong case for the people of Nabdam to be provided with a district police station.

Yes, a modern Police station with my Common Fund and with the understanding that if we are able to build this police station, we will attain the district status as soon as is practicable because we are not getting the staff. We were usually allocating the staff from Bolgatanga”. He added: “Now, I have done all that and I even walled it for them. I want to know, from your answer it still appears not clear, I want to know, can I get a timeline for this police station, for the district status? He asked.
