However, when Apexnewsgh.com contacted the Bolgatanga Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) Mr. Rex Asanga on the above statement of recruitment for interested butchers to apply, he said “The current butchers are refusing to relocate and giving conditions that are impossible to fulfill. According to Mr. Asanga, the Caterers Association within the Municipality are massively hits and currently going through some level of difficulty because of the strike action initiated by the butchers and they are seriously on the Assembly to get them a functioning place where slaughtering of animals could be done to enable their business continue smoothly. “But we cannot also allow the abattoir to waste away and stand there for years and also, once we have shot down the slaughterhouse, we don’t intend to re-open it now and the Caterers Association are on us because they need the services of the abattoir as they directly hit by the current impasse. So, the caterers need a place where slaughtering can be going on to continue with their business. So that is why we are trying to get some people who are willing to operate from the abattoir so that we can open up”. “They signed a memorandum of understanding with my predecessor and asked that 5 or 6 things be done before they move and the 5 or 6 things were done and the assembly asked them to move and they refused to move and I have come and am building on that. There are minutes of meetings they have flouted in the past. We gave them Dec 15, 2021, to move and they said they will move on the 1st of January, 2022 we agreed and they got what they want and they are still saying they will not move. They are the people who gave us the January 1st to move not us. We called them for a meeting to discuss and they refused to come and rather told us to come and negotiate with their youth and we also say no because we started engaging with you the Executives already”.

Managing Editor of Apexnewsgh.com Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen donates for peace ahead of 2020 elections
A freelance Journalist and Managing Editor of Apexnewsgh.com Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen has donated dozens of handkerchiefs labeled with peace messages with various political party logos inclusive to parliamentary candidates in the Bolgatanga Central Constituency of the Upper East Region. According to Mr. Ngamegbulam, the initiative marks part of his newly established website contribution in maintaining peace among all the political parties contesting in this years election, especially the two big parties New Patriotic Party (NPP) and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) during and after the December 7, elections. During the donation, Mr. Ngamegbulam said, It is always a pleasure to contribute meaningfully back to society each time he had the opportunity to do so. “…if I have not witnessed war for the first time, at least, I have had the opportunity to read books about some other countries both in Africa and beyond that went into war due to elections.” Thomas Flores once wrote in one of his articles with the headline, ‘Voting under the gun: elections and conflict around the world’ “When voters around the world cast ballots, it is often with bullets on their minds. Voting during civil conflict is sadly frequent and elections can also prompt violence. Despite this, elections are still seen as a means to bolster the peace after the war ends, hinting at a deeper trend: elections and violence seem inextricably connected.” He wrote “That’s is a fact, the reason why I believe peace at this point in time is very paramount. It is my belief that if we are able to engage leaders of the various political parties in our various constituencies across the country in very inclusive peaceful engagement and activities, it will definitely minimize the number of havocs caused by youth during the elections. Yes, because the youth receives some of these regrettable violent instructions from politicians due to their vulnerability. I mean vulnerability in terms of lack of education, lack of finances, and so on.” He spoke According to Mr. Ngamegbulam, what we should all remember is that, when the elephant’s fights, the innocent grasses automatically become victims. When there is war, our innocent little children, grandparents, mothers, fathers, brothers, and sisters are the ones to suffer for nothing they have knowledge about and even Journalists will not be able carryout their duties accordingly. However, all the Four personalities contesting the Parliamentary seat in the Bolgatanga Central Constituency for December 7, 2020, general elections received the donations with massive excitements. As they used the opportunity to pledge for peace and extends the same calls to their supporters ahead of the December 7, polls Francis Ayandago the Bolgatanga Central Constituency parliamentary candidate for Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Latifa Abdul Rahman Parliamentary candidate for the Convention People’s Party (CPP), Rex Asanga Parliamentary Candidate for the Governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) and Isaac Adongo the incumbent Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central Constituency and the Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for the 2020 election were all beneficiaries.

We appreciate your contribution but, the public needs to know you only contributed 12% of the total expenditure- Adongo family to Isaac Adongo
Clarity from the Adongo family Regarding Our Child’s Treatment by the MP for Bolga Central, 30th October 2020 In line with recent News about the treatment of our child in India by Hon. Isaac Adongo, it has become important that the Adongo family bring some clarity on the issue. It is worth noting that, it was never our wish to discuss our daughter’s health in the public domain, but once it has become a topical issue, we would kindly like to clarify the issue for two main reasons: 1. To clarify our expenses to other contributors who have raised concerns about what their contributions were used for, since the child’s treatment was catered for by the honorable MP. 2. To thank the MP once again and also explain that his contribution constituted 12% of the entire expenses on our child’s treatment abroad. We are however not seeking to belittle the support we had from the honorable MP. Respectfully, we would like to add that, preparations were almost complete for the trip before Hon. Isaac Adongo was contacted by a close friend to the child’s mother. We considered it as unexpected but very helpful contribution, and we’re forever grateful. Considerably, below is a brief breakdown of the total cost of our child’s treatment and the sponsors involved. The entire expenses on the child’s treatment at the Bolga Regional Hospital, Tamale Teaching Hospital, Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital and the eventual trip to India was approximately $22,000 dollars (i.e Ghc 121, 000 cedis approximately as at 2017). We still have receipts on almost all the hospital expenses.The honorable Bolga Central MP’s contribution was Ghc15,000 cedis constituting approximately 12% of the total expenditure; which we appreciate very much. We are told the MP said he contributed 17,000 cedis, but the family can only confirm receipt of 15,000 cedis from his office. The remaining 88% contributions came from: 1.Family 2.Mr. Evans Abolga (Owner of Total 2 & 3 Filling Stations in Bolga town) 3.GNAT 4.Afrikids 5.Assemblies of God Church, Bolgatanga. 6. Other anonymous contributors. Therefore, if one contributor says he/she sponsored the child to India for treatment, it will be unfair to other contributors who also contributed significantly. It also will mean that our family did not use contributions from other sources for the intended purpose, since the bill was sponsored by the honourable MP. That is why the family finds it necessary to clarify the issue in public for people to understand the level of support we received from various sources with much appreciation. We respectfully call on the general public and all relevant parties to put a stop to discussing our child’s health in the public domain. Accordingly, we remain very thankful to each and every contributor; including Hon. Isaac Adongo our MP. May God bless all who supported us 🙏 Apexnewsgh.com Please kindly contact apexnewsgh.com on apexnewsgh@gmail.com for your credible news publications
