Days after the Member of Parliament for the Nabdam Constituency Mark Kurt Nawaane told Apexnewsgh that he hadn’t received any letter or official information about the Bolgatanga Hospital Dialysis project, Dr. Emmanuel Nsobila Akatibo has responded by saying he called the Nabdam MP on phone directly to inform him.
Dr. Akatibo who was giving an update about the dialysis project during an exclusive interview with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh said: “I called him personally on the phone and told him about the Dialysis project”.
He went further: “This happened before the launch and by that time, we had not settled on a specific date, but it was a proposal I wanted to submit to them. So, I wrote the proposal and channeled it through the Upper East Caucus through Agalga. It was delivered to him through my colleague who is from the Agalga’s constituency, and it was addressed as the Chairman of Upper East Caucus.
According to Dr. Akatibo, he has some of the MPs whom he was able to reach directly. “Example is Bolga MP Isaac Adongo, I sent it to him through WhatsApp, the Bolga East MP Dr. Dominic Ayine, I sent it to him through WhatsApp, the Bongo MP Edward Bawa, I sent it to him through WhatsApp and the same person who forwarded to Agalga also forwarded the proposal to Clement Apak. The rest of them, I don’t have a personal relationship with them. So, I had to rely on other people to get to them”. He stated
“But Dr. Nawaane in particular i called him on the phone, we spoke, and he said that is good”.
However, Dr.Akatibo acknowledged that he was not able to send the proposal to him as he did to other MPs after several attempts: “I thought I could send the proposal to him on WhatsApp, but I realized his number isn’t on WhatsApp, and I tried to reach him on other occasion, but I wasn’t able to get him on phone then I decided to leave it like that.
“So, he has an idea, but probably he didn’t get the proposal because I wasn’t able to send it to him because we didn’t know the mode to get it to him. Some of them we gave to them directly and the idea was to give them to the Chairman of the Upper East Caucus who can now probably mobilize them, and we were even planning that if he was able to mobilize them, we would go and present the idea to them” He explained
