Nabdam MP Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane Boosts Medical Outreach with New Expansion edifice in Sakoti

Member of Parliament for Nabdam Constituency, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, has ramped up his hernia surgical medical outreach in Sakoti with new expansion edifice. Apexnewsgh reports This marks the fourth outreach, halted only during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Nawaane shared his vision: “We target hernia, hydrocele, glaucoma, and other two-hour operations.” Noting the high incidence of hernia and hydrocele in Upper East, particularly among farmers, he attributes it to physically demanding activities. This year’s program extends to other districts, with 60 patients from Bolgatanga East and 80 from Talensi district scheduled for treatment. The hernia and hydrocele surgical outreach led by Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, Member of Parliament for Nabdam Constituency, brings hope to rural communities. Beyond farming challenges, affected individuals face family stability issues and compromised relationships. Dr. Nawaane emphasized, “This outreach addresses more than just health concerns; it revitalizes families and communities.” The medical intervention is the first of its kind in the Sakoti traditional area, and residents receiving specialized care, transforming lives. Dr. Nawaane’s initiative goes beyond hernia and hydrocele, Cystic masses, Glaucoma treatments, embracing all patients seeking medical attention. This comprehensive approach ensures holistic well-being, fostering stronger, healthier communities. As Dr. Nawaane’s outreach continues, the impact will be felt far beyond the operating room, nurturing a brighter future for Nabdam Constituency. Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane, is advocating for the establishment of theaters across the country to provide quality medical care, especially for rural communities. He emphasizes that even a simple theater with 30 beds and qualified personnel, including doctors, anesthetists, nurses, and lab technicians, can make a significant difference. Dr. Nawaane further shared his experience building a facility in Sakoti, Nabdam district, which cost around Ghc260, 000, partially funded by the National Health Insurance Authority. According to Dr. Nawaane, he added his own money to complete the project, ensuring modern amenities like floor tiles and sliding windows. The impact is already evident, with over 500 patients receiving treatment in just one day. Dr. Nawaane hopes this initiative will inspire improvements in the healthcare system, particularly in the Nabdam district, and benefit his constituents, who are essentially his family and community members. The beneficiaries’ families expressed their deepest appreciation for his selfless act, acknowledging that his efforts extend beyond healthcare to improve the overall well-being of the community. Their gratitude goes beyond words, as they believe Dr. Nawaane’s dedication showcases his commitment to representing them well in Parliament. They see his actions as a testament to his ability to drive positive change for the people of Nabdam. The community is eager to show their appreciation, recognizing that they cannot repay him enough for his kindness. Instead, they vow to support his re-election, ensuring he can continue making a difference in their lives. Dr. Nawaane’s initiative demonstrates the impact one person can have on a community. By combining medical expertise with compassion, he has created a lasting legacy in Sakoti and Nabdam. His story serves as a reminder that healthcare can be both personal and transformative when delivered with empathy and dedication.

NABDAM: I am compelled to respond to Nawaane’s false assertions–Nabdam MP hopeful

My attention has been drawn to a post by the MP for Nabdam using very unfortunate words to describe the manner in which I filed my nomination forms. I find the choice of words of my senior comrade who has been in parliament for almost 2 terms and has equally contested to be a member parliament in Dunkwa where he has invested his most of his expertise and resources but failed to make it until Nabdams honoured him to represent us in parliament, very unfortunate. 1. He said that I nicodemusly filed my nomination forms, which suggests that that I filed my forms in a manner that is unacceptable. Let me put on record that I published on social media and to all stakeholders that I would file my nomination forms on 20th March, 2023 at 10am and I invited everyone to join me to do same. At 10a.m I was accompanied by senior members of my campaign team to the Constituency Party Office at Nangodi, where we were received by the Constituency Elections Committee who were fully present. We successfully filed our forms at 10:31a.m and we took photographs with the committee before left the party office. The party office is a public place. I filed my nomination forms in the presence of all members of the committee within the working hours of the period scheduled by the party for filing of nominations. How can this be described as nicodemus? The smart decision we took by leaving to go to the party office ahead of our crowd to file my nomination forms left the MP unpleasantly, compelling him to question the chairman of the Elections Committee but we are not bothered. 2. The MP alleges that I was accompanied by a rented crowd made of suspected NPP members. I find this allegation to be a compliment since it is only a very good and attractive candidate who can attract people from other political parties to increase the fortunes of the NDC in the 2024 and guarantee a resounding victory for John Mahama as president and Lawyer Lamtiig as MP for Nabdam. Let me state clearly that the over 800 party supporters who joined me to tour the major streets of Nabdam did so voluntarily unlike the MP who sent his team to write the names of delegates who would accompany him to file his nomination with the promise that each delegate will receive ghc500 only to end up giving each delegate ghc100 and ghc10 to non-delegates. It is he who vowed to buy delegates with money even if it will mean spending dollars. Unfortunately his plans are failing him hence desperation has set in too early. We did not share money to anyone who joined us to file our nomination forms, they showed opened love to Lawyer Lamtiig due to my good works, message of love, humility, mutual respect and leadership ready to serve the best interest of Nabdams. 3. The MP described me as a pawn in a game of chess. This the 3rd time he has described me as such and I reject same. I have pledged to conduct a campaign devoid of insults and personal attacks, particularly because my parents trained me not insult people and I won’t disappoint them. The 4way test of my Rotary Club remains a strong virtue that guides my thought, words and actions. I still stand by these words 1. Is it the truth 2. Is it fair to all concerned 3. Will it build goodwill and better friendships 4. Will it be beneficial to all concerned 4. I will not spend much time on his false assertion that he had 400 delegates accompanying him to file his nomination forms. I understand how losing politicians peddle falsehood to deceive themselves yet in private conversations on the road from Tamale to Bolga they confessrd how difficult the pending primaries will be for them. Walls have ears. I’m sincere to report that out of the crowd of about 800 party supporters who accompanied me to file my nomination forms 278 delegates joined us and we have their names and phone numbers. I have been compelled to respond to the publication by Nawaane to correct his rather false assertions in order to avoid the situation where my silence may be construed as an acquiescence! As the motto of my secondary school (ST. THOMAS AQUINAS) says, Veritas Liberat, to wit Truth shall set you free and the motto of the Commonwealth Hall tells us: Truth stands, I remained guided.

Lawyer Apanga Lamtiig to change the era of using MP’s house as ….

An aspiring National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary candidate in the Nabdam District Lawyer Lamtiig Apanga has disclosed that when given the opportunity as Nabdam Member of Parliament, he will make sure an office to address the challenges of the Nabdam people. Lawyer Lamtiig who appeared displeased with Dr. Nawaane’s current practice of turning his house into a parliamentary office has vowed to change such practice by making an office available for such purpose. Addressing the press on Monday, March 20, 2023, after filing his Parliamentary nomination form at the party office in Nangode, Lawyer Lamtiig said: “We must not continue using the house of the Member of Parliament as his office, we must have an office for the Member of Parliament so that he will come to the office and attend to business and not to sit in the house and we go to the house. He further added that, he is offering himself the opportunity to serve the people of Nabdam, and when granted the opportunity to serve as a Member of Parliament, he will bring development to Nabdam, he will focus on Girl Education, Youth and empowerment and Health. According to him, these are critical areas he would address. “I want to assure my people, that by the grace of God and with the support from the people we have seen today, come the 13th of May people of Nabdam especially delegates will choose me as the parliamentary candidate for NDC and by the grace of God in 2024, we will join hands to win the election and to develop Ghana in general,” he said This is the first time Lawyer Lamtiig Apanga is officially contesting the Parliamentary seat in Nabdam, even though during the last 2020 election, he wanted to contest but later changed his mind to support the current MP Dr. Mark Nawaane to win the 2020 elections for the party in the Nabdam Constituency as he also made his attention known to the party ahead of the 2024 parliamentary seat. Meanwhile, party supporters and delegates came out in their numbers to accompany him through the filling process from his community Gani and to the party office in Nangode.

I am the best person who advocates better, the needs of Nabdam –Lamtiig to a mammoth crowd after nomination filing

One of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary hopefuls Lawyer Lamtiig Apanga has said, he is the right candidate amongst those contesting the Party Parliamentary seat in Nabdam. Lawyer Apanga is contesting two more personalities in the Parliamentary race, the Incumbent Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane and one Mr. Francis Sampana. Addressing the media, Lawyer Lamtiig said: “Let me say again, that this contest is not a contest of fight or insult, is not a contest of personal attacks but is a contest of ideas. Who has the best ideas? who has the best superior ideas? Who can advance the needs of the people of Nabdam better? I Lamtiig Apanga your servant, I put myself out that amongst the other candidates, I am the person who can advocate better the needs of Nabdam, I am the one who can provide open and inclusive leadership, I am the leader who will bring everyone on board without selecting whether you supported candidate A or B. As far as you are a member of this community, you will get what you want”. However, speaking about his leadership plan, Lawyer Lamtiig said, he is confident that when given the opportunity by the delegates as a Parliamentarian, he will make the party transparent to enable every party member to be aware of happening in the party. “I will bring to leadership planning so that we all know what is happening. As I speak to you, let me ask you a question. What do we know as the plan from Member of Parliament for 2023? Nobody knows, it is not a transparent box to know what is inside”. He must engage us, he must address us to tell us his plans, a leader and the people must have a plan that works together but unfortunately, this is lacking”. He stressed However, Lawyer Lamtiig filing today, saw an impressive number of delegates and huge party supporters flooded the road of Nabdam wearing red caps and T-shirts designed with the picture of the aspiring candidate. The National Democratic Congress has announced May 13, 2023, for the internal party Parliamentary elections.

Nabdam MP demand for District Police Station

Member of Parliament for the Nabdam Constituency in the Upper East Region Dr. Mark Kurt-Nawaane has made a strong case for the people of Nabdam to be provided with a district police station. For his love for security in his constituency, Dr. Nawaane in 2021 completed a modern police station in Pelingu as part of measures to beef up security in the area. Meanwhile, making his strong case on the floor of Parliament on behalf of the people of Nabdam, Dr. Nawaane said: “I build the police station with my Common Fund in Pelingu. Yes, a modern Police station with my Common Fund and with the understanding that if we are able to build this police station, we will attain the district status as soon as is practicable because we are not getting the staff. We were usually allocating the staff from Bolgatanga”. He added: “Now, I have done all that and I even walled it for them. I want to know, from your answer it still appears not clear, I want to know, can I get a timeline for this police station, for the district status? He asked.

NABDAM: Come and let’s spend and enjoy our pension money together and forget parliament – Moses Asaga counsels Boniface Gambila

In what sounded like a brotherly advice to a colleague politician, the laughter and roar that accompanied it could make it look like a mockery and disapproval. Yes! A very discouraging and ‘stomach running’ statement from an astute politician can cause one to give up in life. And this one is not different. Former Member of Parliament for the Nabdam Constituency in the Upper East Region Hon. Moses Asaga has called on Mr. Boniface Gambila to forget returning to Parliament this year again. He said Mr. Boniface Gambila cannot be the MP for Nabdam any day. He has therefore called on him to come so that they could enjoy their pension benefits as former MPs. Hon. Asaga was addressing thousands of NDC sympathizers during a Youth Walk at Sekoti. “I want you to tell Gambila that Moses Saa Dok says he should come so that we can spend the pension money. So he should allow the smart and energetic person to be our MP. So he should come so that he and Moses Saa Dok who are age mates and also a former MP spend our pension together. So he shouldn’t bother himself engaging in political campaigns.’’ Hon. Asaga counselled. Hon. Moses Asaga is the immediate past Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority. He served as MP of the area from 1996 till he lost it to Boniface Gambila in 2012. The walk was organized by the youth of the Sekoti enclave to drum home the need to retain the Member of Parliament of the area, Dr. Mark Kurt Nawaane for another four years. This according to them is due to the fact that he has taken the development of Nabdam like his personal home. They also called on the people of the area to vote massively for John Dramani Mahama as President in the December general elections to save their children from dropping out of school. David Dong, a convener of the youth questioned Boniface Gambila that “what legacy do you have as a former MP in Nabdam and you think you deserve to return to Parliament? Do not give your vote out to Boniface because of GHc5.00. The youth of Sekoti are poised to supporting people with development conscience.” The incumbent MP who arrived in the company of Tetteh Zure (constituency chairman) James Tenga (communications officer) Damian Azong (treasurer), Ambrose Yambire (Election Director) among other top shots of the party walked through the principal streets of Ndanbooh through Nyogbare-Benzure-Nabokin to Kotintaabig-Kugrin and ended at Sekoti Senior High School. He commended the youth for the initiative to mobilize themselves to support him to win the elections. He encouraged them to be on guard and campaign vigorously for victory come December 7. He also assured them of Mr. Mahama’s manifesto pledge of making primary health care free for Ghanaians should he win the December polls.

Your respect for the Chieftaincy Institution is outstanding—Paramount Chief of Nangodi to President Akufo Addo

The Paramount Chief of Nangodi Naba Yelzoya Asaga II has shown appreciation of praises to the President of the Republic His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo for his loyalty and respect to the chieftaincy institution in the country. The chief who was excited during the reading of his welcome address to the President narrated how President Akufo Addo has conducted himself anytime he had the opportunity to meet with him in Accra. “We are indeed grateful and deeply humbled to have you in our midst. Your presence is an excellent demonstration of your outstanding respect for the chieftaincy institution. I remember the first time I met you in Accra for a programme about illegal mining when you were entering, your agents wanted to receive you as President of who you are. But I remembered when you came in, you were eager to let chiefs sit, even though we continue to give you the respects that was due you, that is your attitude and anytime I have met, that always what I saw you, that has shown that you indeed respect and regards chieftaincy and that is what I mean by your outstanding regards for the chieftaincy institution.” He said According to Naba Yelzoya Asaga II, Nabdam has not been left out in the share of the national cake. He was satisfied to inform the president that all his good policies, such as NABO, One District One Warehouse (1D1W), Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), etc are poverty alleviated policies which in one way or the other have to benefit the ordinary citizens of Nabdam. “His Excellency, I am pleased to inform you that Nabdam has got its own share of the national cake of which we are grateful. If you are observant, you can see around you we have placards indicating what we have received from you, we are grateful. We have also the past three years witnessed the implementation of several developmental projects, notable among which are the Planting for Food and Jobs (PFJ), Nation Builder Corps (NABCO) Youth in Aforestation, One Village One Dam (1V1D), One constituency One ambulance (1C1A), One District One warehouse (1D1W) which you just finished commissioning a while ago.” He stated According to the Nabdam Chief, Nabdam has been known as a largely farming community, interventions of this nature will go a long way to enhance their livelihood. He extended appreciation to the president for the Minibus he provided to the only Senior High Secondary School and also the pick up to the District Education Directorate. However, like Oliver Twist, Naba Yelzoya appeals to the president for an ultra-modern office complex for the District Education Directorate and a pick up for the Kongo Senior High to enhance education in the district. “Also worth noting, is our initiating of a community base Senior High School in Nalerigu and Sakoti which are been challenged with the implementation of the Senior High School policy, we will therefore be grateful if the Ministry of Education will fully adopt these schools to prevent their collapse.” He pleaded The Nabdam Chief made these pronouncement during the President  two day tour in the Upper East Region.
