The National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament (MP) for Navrongo Central of the Upper East Region Sampson Tangombu Chiragia has revealed that the security forms sold across the country, was an avenue by the government to raise funds for the construction of the controversial National Cathedral. Stressing that the NDC will demand accountability to what he described as ‘robbery’ going on within the security recruitments.
The first time Navrongo MP in an interview with Apexnews Gh questioned why job application forms should be sold to Ghanaian youth interested in applying to become security men and women especially in the country he said, the cost of living is becoming very difficult.
“We are all hot in Ghana, We need a solution, and the youth need jobs. We are pleading with the government that they should allow the old system to work, let the people apply and whoever qualifies you picked him or her. Why should somebody pay Ghc 100.00 to access a code and apply for a job? That alone is robbery. It is very bad for people to use the money to go and apply for a job that they are not even sure of getting. How many are the jobs and how many people have applied? We even have to hold the government to account for all the money they are taking from these poor boys. So, telling me I should give money from where? For the people to go and give the government to build a cathedral, then you are unfair to the MP” He said
Mr, Chiragia also added, that the ongoing delay in the appointment of MMDCs is as a result of the broke economy which he thinks isn’t a hidden thing because the President himself is aware.
“He should understand that it is business as usual. They are just going to mobilize money from the poor Ghanaians and go build a cathedral because they know the economy is broke. Nana Addo himself knows the economy is broke and that is why he cannot even appoint his DCEs because when they appoint DCEs, there will be pressure on them. Why should the people of Navrongo be looking for an NPP chairman to give them money? Because there is no DCE. They should fix the country and stop the nonsense”. He stated
His response came after the Navrongo Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Anthony Spinoza Mensah demanded the MP should make available to address the need of Navrongo youth by supporting at least 500 -1000 with Ghc 100.00 each to enable them to purchase security recruitment forms.
