Talensi Gold: Some of us are seeking political leadership because things are not done right—Solomon TTB
The Talensi Constituency Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) Solomon TTB has revealed that some of the Talensi youth are seeking political leadership today because things are not done right with the natural resources given to them by God.He made the revelation during an engagement with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com on his flagship development programme dubbed “SPEAKOUT UPPER EAST” on Monday, September 19, 2022. He made the revelation during an engagement with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen of Apexnewsgh.com on his flagship development programme dubbed “SPEAKOUT UPPER EAST” on Monday, September 19, 2022. According to the Constituency Secretary, some of the youth are seeking political leadership, not because of certain things but because some of the things are not done right, “if things are done why should we be seeking political leadership?“We cannot have Gold in Talensi and our road is very bad, We cannot have Gold in Talensi and our health facilities are very deplorable, We cannot have Gold in Talensi and we don’t have portable drinking water, We cannot have Gold in Talensi and youth are unemployed, We cannot have Gold in Talensi and our youth are engaging in certain social miscreants No, it is time for us to engage the mining companies we don’t have to fight with them. Fighting will never resolve the matter”. He also blamed traditional leaders in the area for contributing to the current challenges affecting the plight of the people in the various mining communities in the Talensi district. “Traditional leaders have failed us, if you have chiefs, Tindaanas, the opinion leaders coming out together with a blueprint, a memorandum of understanding engaging the communities together, bringing the mining companies on a round table discussion to look at how employment is done, how they are procuring their things who are the people they are giving the contract to, youth that they are employing, whether they obeying the mining safety, are they giving royalties? If they are giving royalties, how do we share them? These are things traditionally we have to look at”. “We have a District Chief Executive (DCE), He is from the community, he knows the people very well, he has contact with each of the mine. And for that matter, once you are a government appointee and you are representing the people, your core mandate is to see how you will help our people to be supported. So, when the government wants to end their so-called illegal mining I would have thought that EPA, Mineral Commission, The lands and Natural Resources Minister, Regional Minister, and DCE would consider training these people on how not to cause harm to the environment and atmosphere and even how to mine without destroying our water body by way of giving them a place to mine under the community mining. Sincerely speaking, EPA and mineral Commission have disappointed Talensi and I must be frank with you. In fact, people are of the view and alleging that they come to take monies” he alleged Source: Apexnewsgh.com|Ghana For publication please kindly contact us on 0256336062 or Email: apexnewsgh@gmail.com
Talensi: NDC Demands an Immediate Unqualified Apology from Kwabena Ampofo Appiah for…
The Opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Talensi District of the Upper East Region has demanded an immediate unqualified apology from the Managing Director of State Housing Company Limited Mr. Kwabena Ampofo Appiah for what they described as a “consummate falsehood peddled to raise the image of the drowning NPP’s government led by President Akufo-Addo and Dr. Bawumia”. Apexnewsgh.com report The statement authored by the NDC Talensi Constituency Secretary Zinekena Solomon T.T.B says: “The attention of the NDC in Talensi has been drawn to a Facebook post by the MD of the State Housing Company Ltd which suggests that there are houses available for Ghanaians at the Rock Estates located at Pusonamoogo in the Talensi District of Upper East Region of Ghana”. However, following the false and misleading information posted by the MD of the State Housing Company Ltd which does not exist anywhere in the Talensi land, the NDC is demanding an immediate unqualified apology. Kindly read the full statement Tuesday, August 30, 2022. Immediate Release. [Party Office, Talensi Constituency]. TALENSI NDC DEMANDS AN IMMEDIATE UNQUALIFIED APOLOGY FROM THE MANAGING DIRECTOR OF STATE HOUSING COMPANY LTD, MR. KWABENA AMPOFO APPIAH . The attention of the NDC in Talensi has been drawn to a Facebook post by the MD of the State Housing Company Ltd which suggests that there are houses available for Ghanaians at the Rock Estates located at Pusonamoogo in the Talensi District of Upper East Region of Ghana. Ghanaians must be apprised here and now that the MD’s claim is a consummate falsehood peddled to raise the image of the drowning NPP’s government led by President Nana Addo and Alhaji Timothy Bawumia. To set the records straight forward without equivocation, the facts are as follow: On Friday, November 29, 2019, President Nana Addo cut sod for the construction of 120 housing units at Pusunamogo in the Talensi District of the Upper East Region. On Tuesday, 18th August, 2020, the Vice President Alhaji Bawumia in a town hall meeting at the Academy of Art and Sciences in Accra emphatically captured the 120 housing units project in page 40 as ongoing and that work was 20 per cent complete. At the time the Vice President made that claim using his 419 powerful delivery tracker, there was only a well-designed signpost erected on the site along the Bolga-Tamale Road. According to the Vice President in 2020, 50 housing units were supposed to be completed before the 2020 general elections. It is almost three years today and only two uncompleted housing units are found at the site. Work has stalled at the site for months now. The site is left bushy and muddy. The following questions are begging for immediate answers from the uninformed, clueless and armchair MD; How did the MD come to the conclusion that the housing units were ready for use and that people looking for homes in the Upper East Region should look no further but contact one Mabila via telephone on +233244271502 ? Does the MD and his team do routine monitoring and supervision of their projects? How many housing units are completed? Is portable drinking water provided at the site? Is the site connected to electricity? Have they created access roads? Is the MD and his appointor living in such homes? Are the completed houses in the Jupiter or the Earth we all live on? In fact, it appears the Vice President has succeeded in infecting most appointees of the NPP government with his chronic lies. The usual peddling of falsehoods by the rank and file of NPP seems to be a malignant cancerous tumour that is resistant to treatment. As much as Ghanaians and the NDC try to treat them by exposing their naked lies, the more they continue to lie. Probably, the MD was celebrating the two years lying anniversary of Bawumia on that same project. If not, he is caught flat-footed and pants down having thrown iron fillings into the eyes of the good people of Talensi and Ghana at large on the completion of the Project. What is the crime of the good people of Talensi to have warranted this naked deception from the appointee of President Nana Addo? This fraud exposes the gross ineptitude, corporate incompetence and lack of credibility of the MD. The posture of the MD simply means that he is either not on top of his job or is a deliberate attempt to deceive, mislead, misinform and mock Ghanaians under the excruciating economic conditions experienced by most ordinary Ghanaians especially the youth where payment of rents has been a challenge though on 26th October, 2020, Ghanaian youth were promised to have their rents paid by the NPP government in the second term. It, however, beats our imagination that an MD who draws monthly salaries with huge allowances from the public purse of the ordinary taxpayer would lower the bar of management and corporate leadership to such a bizarre extent. He is busily dancing in the gutters alone. We may be tempted to believe that he is only carrying a big head punishing his neck because there is no absolute reflection of his academic qualifications and leadership in the development of the company. The NDC would like to dare the MD to come out with contrary facts relative to the Rock Estates Housing project situated at Pusonamogo. We also want to challenge him (the MD) to publish the true pictures of the housing units completed, the outside and inside of the houses and an aerial photograph of the project. The NDC is keenly monitoring the falsehoods the MD has been peddling on various platforms seeking to take undue credit of the numerous projects initiated and funded by the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama led NDC government in the housing sector. Well! The performing masquerade that tries too hard to outclass his colleagues will end up by exposing his anus. Critically examining the posture of the MD, one thing is certain and conspicuous that, the Nana Addo government
