UER: Boniface Gambila ‘Rickety’ Ambulance Captured Convening Beverages Instead of The Sick
An ambulance that was once upon a time donated to the people of Nabdam District of the Upper East Region by Boniface Gambila the former Member of Parliament which was later described as “rickety automobile” by Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane has been captured performing another contrary transport venture. It was unclear where the Boniface Gambila donated ambulance was heading towards with fully loaded packs of drinks, biscuits and some other consignments. Somewhere in 2018, the current Member of Parliament for Nabdam, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, told Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen that he and the Nabdam Assembly injected lots of money into fixing a rickety ambulance procured for the area by Boniface Gambila, a former MP. Dr. Nawaane was then responding to the earlier comments by Mr. Gambilla that the current Member of Parliament has done nothing in his promise to acquire a new ambulance for the area since he resumed office as MP. He said, he and the assembly pulled resources together to resurrect the “rickety” automobile after it was rendered immobile and dumped. “He bought an ambulance, yes. But he bought a rickety ambulance. He thought that it could help in his campaign. Unfortunately, the ambulance could not even move from Kongo to Asoryine”. However, after the resurrection of the ambulance with the help of the assembly and the MP, as he stated, it has assisted in various ways performing one or more services even at the Bolgatanga regional hospital. Meanwhile, the current scene captured about the ambulance has put the people of Upper East in shock, as some have started asking a question such as “I thought the ambulances are for the sick but what I am seeing is the contrary” The Boniface .A. Gambila donated ambulance was donated to improve quality health care to the people of Nabdam but interestingly, the distribution of beverages to the people of Nabdam offers them a better service.

UER: Nabdam MP organizes forum, as farmers received education on how to prevent elephants from farm destruction
Following the recent public outcry coming from farmers of Sakoti in the Nabdam District of the Upper East Region over elephants evasion and destruction of their farm produce during the past farming seasons, the Nabdam Member of Parliament Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaani has organized a forum in collaboration with the Wildlife Division of the Forestry Commission to sensitize farmers ahead of the 2021 farming season. According to Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaani, for the past few years, the elephants from Kabore in Burkina Faso passes through the farms of these farmers and ending up destroying their farms and crops and go away. He further insisted that this time around, he decided to hold a farming forum at the beginning of the farming season for the farmers to sensitize them on how to safeguard their farm produce and at the same time without harming the elephants”. “We don’t have to harm the elephants because Ghana as a nation we have signed a lot of treaties on wildlife conservation”. According to Dr. Kurt Nawaani, his move for the forum was in consultation with the Regional Manager of wildlife for the 5 northern sectors Joseph Binlinla, who advised that there are methods the farmers can adopt to protect their farms and crops. “It was done in Bawku West and they have succeeded relatively to scare away the elephants”. He said However, he believes is time for the Nabdam district assembly and the government has to come in by identifying how to solve the canker cordially. The Regional wildlife manager in charge of Northern Ghana Mr. Joseph Binlinla took the farmers through some education on ways to prevent elephants from evading their farmlands and what they need to do when they see elephants in their farms. If the farmers can get a gun powder and intermittently shoot it into the sky when they noticed the elephants are around. If the farmers can get a Solar light and hang it in the farms at various vantage points. When they see the light, they will know that is a human habitant and might move aware. If the farmers can get some cow don and add pepper to it and burn it at vantage points in the farm. Because the elephants have a very good nose or smelling ability and when they smell it, they will automatically move away. If the farmers, can tie plastic waste around the edges of their farms, is likely that the elephant will not enter. If the farmers also drum as a way of noise making, the elephants are likely to move away from your area and go to a different area. He also encourages the farmers not to wear any red, yellow or white cloth to the farm, in order not catch the eyes of the elephants Meanwhile, upon all the preventive measures outlined by the wildlife manager, some of the farmers were worried about the sustainability of these measures, as they resorted to be farming in groups which to them, will enable them to keep vigilant to their farmlands. However, they as well pledged not to kill any of the elephants.
