The appointment of individuals from the Kusaug (Bawku Zone) area to various positions during Akufo-Addo’s administration has sparked interest, but the impact of these appointments on the lives of ordinary people in the benefited constituencies remains a subject of debate. It is crucial to examine whether these appointments translated into tangible development projects, improved infrastructure, and enhanced economic opportunities for the local population.
Some may argue that the appointments brought a sense of pride and representation to the region, while others may contend that the benefits were limited to a select few, with little trickle-down effect on the broader community. To fully understand the implications of these appointments, a more in-depth analysis of the development projects initiated and completed during this period is necessary.
Key areas to explore include:
Infrastructure Development: Were there significant improvements in roads, schools, healthcare facilities, and other essential infrastructure in the constituencies?
Economic Empowerment: Did the appointments lead to increased economic opportunities, job creation, and investment in the region?
Social Impact: How did the appointments affect the social fabric of the communities, including education, healthcare, and social welfare programs?
A thorough examination of these factors will provide a clearer understanding of the true impact of these appointments on the lives of ordinary people in the Kusaug (Bawku Zone) area.
Note, even though the names of the other appointees were not captured, these appointments include all the MMDCE’s the Districts in the Kusuag areas.
