AGENDA 111: Some of the contractors are enemies of the government–Filson Awankua

A Leading member of the governing New Patriotic Party in the Upper East Region Ing. Filson Awankua has disclosed that there is a possibility that some of the Agenda 111 contractors came as enemies to make government agenda very difficult and not as businessmen. Ing. Awankua made the revelation during an engagement on Apexnews Ghana’s flagship development programme dubbed “SPEAKOUT UPPER EAST REGION” with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen on Thursday, October 20, 2022, he said: “Some times, these people also come not only for business, but some of them are enemies of the government and they have their allies in both party and government”. Apexnewsgh.com report He is very convinced, that there are people who make a mockery of the Agenda 111 project but stresses that Isha Allah, God will make sure they are disappointed. “The wish of those people will not be the wish of God and before 2024, some of these Agenda 111 projects will be out there and will be delivering services to the good people of this country”. He assured The visit of President Akufo-Addo to Katanga in the Bolga East District and his Vice Dr. Bawumia Visit to Paga has exposed that in the Upper East Region, the project is moving very slow and one could be asked, whether President Akufo-Addo’s target of completing all these hospitals before leaving office will be actualized especially with the delay witnessed so far. Meanwhile, a piece of reliable information gathered by this platform also indicates that some of the contractors collected 2-3 of the Agenda 111 projects for themselves without having the technical capacity or even pave way for their colleague’s contractors who can deliver to get the opportunity. ”Why will one person want to grab 2,3 projects and get himself frustrated, if you know you don’t have the technical capacity and the muscle? If you don’t have this and you go in and take more than 2,3 projects and now frustrates all of us.However, Ing. Awankua believes that the NPP is a ruling party that can alleviate and speeds up the development of this country despite any obstacles.

Talensi District added to Agenda 111 after Apexnews-Gh report

Indeed, good journalism gets results. It is exciting to note that few months after Apexnewsgh.com reported the regrettable condition bedeviling the Talensi district hospital in the Upper East Region, the Upper East Regional Minister Stephen Yakubu has revealed that the Talensi District has been added as part of the government policy known as ‘Agenda 111’. On Thursday, November 18, 2021, Apexnewsgh.com reported an article headlined: “Talensi District: A land of gold without good functioning district hospital and roads” In that investigative report published about the struggling Talensi district hospital, below were some of the interesting facts bedeviling the hospital and as well putting the lives of children, youth, aged and the people of Talensi in serious danger. 1. Talensi District Hospital is battling an infrastructure crisis 2. Talensi District Hospital operates from separate locations 3. Female and male wards were together and the ward could only take 8 beds 4. Children’s Ward could take only 9 beds, especially with 5 beds and 4 cots 5. When patients are 10, Talensi district hospital will be forced to discharge a patient on admission to pave way for others. 6. The road leading to the hospital is bad, causing staff, and patients to fall including pregnant women. Then, officials at the facility who narrated their plights and predicaments about the hospital said they wished they were part of the government agenda 111 which was about to benefit 8 districts in the Upper East Region. Meanwhile, giving an account of their predicament at the hospital, the official said: “We don’t have the infrastructure, the male and female wards were together, and we have to separate the male and the female and where we are using could only take 8 beds. So, if we have more than 8 patients we have to either move them to the emergency or have to discharge some of our patients so that we make way for others. If we could get a big ward that could help with about 30 because we do surgery and when we do surgery, the patient has to stay but, because of the limited number, we can’t do more surgery”. She narrated However, then the Talensi District Health Director Madam Estella Abazesi confirmed the plight of the hospital when Apexnewsgh.com called on her for more clarifications. According to her, “In terms of logistics to build it up to the capacity of a district hospital, we are lacking. We do not run all the compliment of a district hospital, is not all the services that we render”. However, 7months after our report, the good news is that the Talensi district has been considered to be a beneficiary of the policy. The project was to ensure that Ghanaians nationwide have access to quality healthcare services and with the National Health Insurance Scheme, boost the provision of healthcare infrastructure and financial accessibility to healthcare. Agenda 111 project was launched by President Nana Addo Dankwa-Akufo-Addo on Tuesday, August 17, 2021.

Akufo-Addo to complete agenda 111 hospitals before 2025

Addressing the congregation at the 60th-anniversary of the University of Ghana Medical School (UGMS) on Friday, 25 March 2022, President Akufo-Addo said, he will complete all agenda 111 hospitals before leaving office. “A great deal of the preparatory work for the execution of this ambitious project has been completed and it is my determination that the entire project will be completed before I leave office on 6th January 2025”. The President also noted that the “government is looking forward to also improve its accreditation seals for hospitals in the country and possibly acquire international accreditation seals such as Joint Commission International.” However, the President also appealed to doctors to take up posts in deprived areas. “The news of doctors refusing posting to these areas is distressing. I encourage all medical practitioners to follow the worthy example of your great forebears who readily accepted postings in the early years, at a time when the national infrastructure was even more harrowing than it is today”. “I am therefore appealing to you, as passionately as I can, to accept postings to accredited regional and district hospitals, where your services are needed most,”. “our medical schools have got a good reputation and have been training good doctors and dentists who find work with some ease, in all parts of the world, the doctor-dentist population ratio in our country still remains unsatisfactory after 65 years of nationhood. “We currently do not have the right numbers of doctors, dentists and healthcare professionals with the right niche of skills and expertise in our regions, districts and deprived communities, especially for the newly-created regions and districts,” he said.
