Residents of Nabdam District in the Upper East of the Upper East Region may not participate in the 2024 general election. This was made known today Wednesday, May 24, 2023, at the construction site of Nabdam share of Agenda 111. Apexnewsgh.com report
These residents who were seen so unhappy threatened government over the Agenda 111 hospital project which has been abandoned at ground level not to participate in the forthcoming 2024 general elections.
The Agenda 111 Hospital project began somewhere in April 2021 on 100 acres of farmlands given out free of charge by farmers for the project due to the importance of health care in the area.
Two years down the line, the contractor by the name T.K Waters abandoned the project.
The angry residents sighted wearing red, are demanding the immediate resumption of work on the hospital project because farmers whose farmlands were taken are threatening to take back their farmlands.
Pognab Grace Bewong, the spokesperson said: “The district health committee and Public Relation Complain Committee have received complaints severally from the chiefs, youth, and women groups demanding answers why other beneficiary districts projects are almost completed while the contractor awarded the contract in the Nabdam district has not finished even the foundation level”.
The spokesperson further revealed that “Among the messages they are sending is that, it seems government does not consider Nabdam as one of its priority area and they have threatened that if government does not respond to their demand by ensuring that the project is completed, they will also advice themselves in the forthcoming election”.
Meanwhile, the angry residents also acknowledge the fact that, the current hospital in the district does not have the capacity to provide the desired health services to residents.
After registering their frustration, the group further presented a written petition to the Nabdam District Assembly for onward action.
