The Newly elected Talensi Constituency Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Upper East Region Augustine Mmi-Oni Guure has dared that, if the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) is able to construct the Pawlungu Multi-purpose dam project up to 60 percent, he would resign his position as a constituency Secretary. Apexnewsgh.com report According to Mr. Guure, is not a prophecy, is common sense that these things cannot be done and they know within themselves that it cannot be done. “The worst they can do is to start the process not to even get to 30 to 40 percent of that project neither to talk of completing it and I dare him, he should write it down somewhere and one day he will ask me if is true, I will resign from my office”. The NDC Secretary made the strong vow during an engagement on Apexnews Ghana’s flagship programme dubbed “SPEAKOUT UPPER EAST REGION” with Ngamegbulam Chidozie Stephen on Wednesday, November 2, 2022. President Akufo-Addo cut sod for the construction of the Pwalungu Multipurpose dam on November 29, 2019, and since then, the project has generated a whole lot of controversy in the region because nothing much to show at the construction site for years now. According to Mr. Guure, “these people are not taking Ghanaians serious. Am telling you to mark it somewhere if by the end of 2 years, by the end of 2024 if the NPP is able to construct the Pwalungu Multi-Purpose dam up to 60 percent, I will resign as Talensi Constituency Secretary. I am a man of my word and I mean what am saying”. He vowed However, he believes it is about time the governing party speaks the truth to the people of the Upper East region. “we are deprived of development, we are underdeveloped. So, when the opportunities are given we shouldn’t be looking at equalization”.

NPP Chairman Gives Reasons Why Pres. Couldn’t Visit Pawlugu Multi-Purpose Dam

The Upper East Regional Chairman of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said, there must be an appreciable level of work done at Pawlugu Multi-Purpose Dam project before the President could visit back to monitor the level of work progress. Apexnewsgh.com report The NPP Regional Chairman made the pronouncement during an engagement on Tanga Radio monitored by Apexnewsgh.com. Meanwhile, responding to some CSOs within the Upper East Region who expressed their disappointment after President Akufo-Addo visited the region without going to the project scene to witness things for himself. Mr. Namoo said: “The president came and cut sod and when sod is cut, the work must be at an appreciable level before you go to see how it is. He went further to say, “When we say Pawlugu multi-purpose dam, the dam was going to construct at Pawlugu. So, they are not seeing any work, but you have to understand that it will be around 20km away from Pawlugu, it will be around Nuu between North East and Talensi that’s where the work will be done. When we have such a project that has huge implications on the environment, there is what we call environmental impact assessment which has to be done. surveyors will have to go and go round and see how the resettlement will be done and what have you”. “Recently, the Minister for Works and Land was around and you see the mining area they have to resettle some people in that area. So, that is how it is done”. He said, “Construction of the dam itself doesn’t take much time. But how do resettle the people? These are all international parts of arrangements. “Another part which we are not all seeing is that the VRA and the people in charge came round in the districts. They were in Binduri, in Garu, Talensi, Nabdam to do what we call environmental impact assessment to explain those whose farm will be affected and how they will be addressed so to that extent work has begun”. “I pray the project will come out strongly back.
