Isaac Adongo Donates GHc 500,000 to NDC Fundraiser, But Constituents Raise Questions
Hon. Isaac Adongo, Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central Constituency, has been revealed as the highest donor amongst all the Upper East NDC MPs at the recent NDC Upper East Regional fundraising event, held on Saturday, June 22, 2024. Apexnewsgh reports In an exclusive engagement with Apexnewsgh, Hon. Adongo confirmed donating GHc 500,000 to the party, clarifying that the funds came from his relationships with businessmen who support his candidate, John Mahama (JM). Hon. Adongo explained that he rallied support from willing backers to contribute to the fundraising effort, amounting to GHc 500,000. “Yes, I raised it and went and use it. It is not money coming from my pocket, I have relationships that are willing to support me and I told them I need money to go and support my candidate. So, those monies I put together came to Ghc 500,000 and I gave it out. We have businessmen who are comfortable with us and willing to help us. So, if I go to them and say I need money to help JM with his fund raising and am able to put them together and is Ghc 500,000, I don’t have to keep it, I have to give it him” Hon. Adongo clarifies Meanwhile, while his gesture may seem generous, some constituents are unimpressed, expressing disappointment and skepticism. They question why Hon. Adongo would prioritize party donations over releasing his share of the Common Fund to assist with student fees since 2021. Constituents are concerned about Hon. Adongo’s priorities, wondering why he would pledge such a substantial amount to the party while neglecting his responsibilities to the constituency. The Fund Raising Dancing Dinner, organized under the leadership of Alhaji Mumuni Bolnaba, aimed to raise funds and logistics to support the region’s campaign activities towards achieving the agenda 15/15 Parliamentary victory and 85% victory for H.E. John Mahama. However, in a surprising display of cross-party unity, members of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) reportedly attended the fundraising event. While their names will not be officially recorded, their willingness to support the NDC’s fundraising efforts ahead of the 2024 general elections signals a possible shift in political dynamics. This development may indicate a growing recognition of the need for cooperation and collaboration across party lines, even in the midst of political competition.

Isaac Adongo blasts Dr. Bawumia, says he has failed as an Economist
Isaac Adongo, the Ranking Member on the Finance Committee in Parliament, has criticized Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia for his lack of understanding of the 24-hour economy. This comes after Dr. Bawumia claimed that President John Mahama does not comprehend the 24-hour economy policy he is proposing. Dr. Bawumia argued that the 24-hour economy policy is already being implemented in various sectors in Ghana, such as hospitals and fuel companies. In response, Mr. Adongo dismissed Dr. Bawumia’s attack on Mr. Mahama’s 24-hour economy, stating that the Vice President’s opinion should not be taken seriously. “Mr. Speaker, when we are trying to find a solution to deal with the economy when they leave power, H.E John Dramani Mahama is proposing a 24-hour economy. I heard somebody who has disappointed the people of Ghana, somebody who said one village, one dam and did something else, somebody who said one million per constituency and for 7-years we are still waiting for the one million dollars. “He is saying that John Mahama does not understand the 24-hour economy. Mr. Speaker with all due respect, Dr. Bawumia learnt economics at ‘O’ and ‘A’ Level. He went to university and learned economics as his first degree. Did economics again at masters level and did economics again as PHD,” . He highlighted Dr. Bawumia’s educational background in economics, including his studies at various levels and his experience as a consultant in Zimbabwe. Mr. Adongo also criticized Dr. Bawumia’s handling of currency depreciation during his time as deputy governor at the Central Bank. In summary, Mr. Adongo questioned Dr. Bawumia’s ability to understand Mr. Mahama’s 24-hour economy policy based on his educational background and past experiences.

IMF: Gov’t is buying themselves time to see whether they can disappear – Isaac Adongo
Gov’t is buying themselves time to see whether they can disappear – Isaac Adongo The members of minority in Parliament has revealed the government is not showing any seriousness with regards to striking a deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The NDC MPs said, government is playing hide and seek with the Fund while pursuing other options which they argue are not favorable to the survival of the country’s economy. The Bolgatanga Central MP, Isaac Adongo disclosed when addressing Journalists. According to Mr. Adongo, the IMF bailout has been delayed as a result of government’s refusal to announce a debt restructuring roadmap. “In the meantime they are buying themselves time to see whether that can disappear, but they will need to take that bold decision on debt restructuring because it’s not an option. Ghana as we speak today does not comply with the requirement of IMF for a funded programme because the IMF does not lend into an unsustainable situation and Ghana’s debt has been concluded to be unsustainable. And this fact was communicated to government in its 8th memoir that the IMF issued the last time before it left. So there is no way we can have an IMF programme that is supported by funding without undertaking steps to bring our debt to sustainable levels so that we’re in compliance with the IMF own internal requirements.” Mr. Adongo further disclosed government is struggling to put together the 2023 budget thus the inability to present it by the stipulated date of November 15, 2022 per the public finance management Act.

UER-: See a 32-year-old public kindergarten school block, now a death trap in Isaac Adongo’s community
A kindergarten school constructed in 1990 known as 31st December KG located at Tindonsbiligo in Bolgatanga Central a community where Isaac Adongo, the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central came from, has become a death trap for both pupils and teachers using the facility. Apexnewsgh.com report The information gathered by Apexnewsgh.com from the School Headmistress says, the Assemblyman of the Tindonsobligo electoral area and the people of Tindonsobligo especially parents are aware of the predicaments. During the heat of the rainy season, our investigation reveals that all the school roofs were licking from the top to the classrooms and the office of the Headmistress received the highest share of the regrettable disaster because most of the official materials and some documents were destroyed by the rains. However, it is no more news that as soon as it starts raining, both school pupils and their teachers have nowhere to hide. Meanwhile, when Apexnewsgh.com contacted the Assemblyman in charge of the electoral area Thomas Apaala, he acknowledge knowing about the school’s predicaments.He said, at the initial stage he was thinking of changing the zinc but when the Assembly engineer came he said the school needs to be renovated, and there is nothing they could do again. “I will get a carpenter to see if we can take those bad ones away if the cost will be beyond my control”. The Assemblyman promised“Since the inception of the school, there has not been any renovation”. Narrating his encounter with Mr. Isaac Adongo the Bolga Central MP, the Assemblyman said “I met the MP to see what we can do. So, we went to the Assembly and brought one engineer to do an estimate and it was even then I got to know that the issue wasn’t necessarily about changing zinc, but the engineer said the school needs total renovation. So, when we send the estimate and sent to the Assembly, the MP was to use part of his common Fund to do the renovation but I think the Common Fund these days is not coming as expected and on the Assembly budget of the year, it was loaded, and they could not capture it as part of the project”. Meanwhile, our several calls and messages to Mr. Isaac Adongo as a way of following up on the issue, have not been answered or responded to. The Headmistress and teachers at the school say they fear for their lives. They are appealing to Mr. Adongo and other well meaning Ghanaians to come to their aid before things get out of hand.

Isaac Adongo took on the Press–Says if Mahama…..
The member of Parliament for the Bolgatanga Central Constituency Mr. Isacc Adongo has taken on the Press in the country for what he claimed the press is quiet and not reporting under the Akufo-Addo’s administration. Apexnewsgh.com report The Bolgatanga Central legislature took the media on at a TEIN program organized by the students of Bolgatanga Midwifery Training College on Saturday, October 1, 2022. Mr. Adongo whiles addressing TEIN members decided to channel his dissatisfactory message to the Press. He said: “Am happy the press is here. If the NDC was in power and for 3years we did not provide our children with textbooks, you would have been all over the rooftop shouting”. “If the NDC was in power and we said One Village One Dam and we ended up digging potholes as dams, you would have been shouting. If the NDC was in power and say FSHS and our children are running a traffic light, you would have been complaining”. “If the NDC was in power and our children could not eat food in schools and they were eating water for soup as school feeding Programme, you would have been shouting. If the NDC was in power, and say the year of roads and we came and commission a traffic light in the intercession of the hospital road, you would have complained”. “If the NDC was in power, and John Dramani Mahama had abandoned the national carrier and used a private jet, you would have complained. If the NDC was in power, and we have gone to the IMF not just to seek support but to restructure our debt and collapse the financial system, you would have complained. If the NDC was in power, and the dollar was now been sold at Ghc11.00, you would have called John Mahama the most incompetent”. “If the NDC was in power and Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia had gone into hiding, you would have been calling him to take the front seat and insult John Dramani Mahama. Today, where is the press? Today, where is the wisdom that you had? “If the NDC was in power, and your president were hiring a private jet to the Caribbean where they hide money and corruption was eating our country, you would have said John Mahama is laundering money in the Caribbeans but you have a country leading with corruption where you are losing almost Ghc 10billion a year and you are not worried that your president chattered a flight to the Caribbeans”. “I am not saying he launders money there but is a possibility because nobody sits in that private jet. If John Mahama was in power you would have known that people steal Ghc 10billion a year they cannot put them in a room, they must convert them into a dollar and the dollar will collapse the Cedis”. “Corruption is the biggest problem of the cedi, not export. Because the government officials who are stealing our money are competing with the economy to buy the dollar for safe keeping and that is where we are”. “Ladies and gentlemen, we have our destinies in our own hands, and if there is anybody that on any day will wake me up to testify as the one to lead Ghana to the promised land it is none other than his Excellency John Dramani Mahama”.

Vice-President has shifted gears into digitalization–Isaac Adongo
The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bolgatanga Central Constituency of the Upper East Region has said Ghana’s economy has reached the edge where the country can no longer go onto the international market. According to Mr. Isaac Adongo, Vice-President Mahamudu Bawumia, seems to have abandoned the “sinking economic management ship” and found solace in the “digitalization ship”. He said: “The Vice-President has shifted gears into digitalization, leaving economic management on the shoulders of the incompetent Finance Minister,”. “Since the Vice-President jumped ship, he has turned himself into a ‘Yahoo boy’ whose only concern is how to fidget with the internet in the name of digitalization,” he said. “I’m surprised the president is still keeping Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta at post even in the wake of glaring evidence that the economy is not in good shape”, the opposition MP said. “With the penchant for spending as a private person and a public officer, in other jurisdictions, Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta would not have come near the position of a deputy minister,” he argued. “Bloomberg is just reiterating the concerns I’ve raised a year ago”, he noted, for which he said, “government communicators rained all manner of insults on my person as the MP for the people of Bolgatanga Central”. Mr. Adongo said these on Accra100.5FM’s evening news bulleting in reaction to a recent Bloomberg article on how the economy has been run down.
