The District Chief Executive for West Mamprusi, Mr Adam Yussif, has said the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government will never neglect or abandon any community due to perception of not being sympathetic to the party. He said NDC, under the leadership of President John Dramani Mahama, cared for all and not just a section of the populace and therefore called for support. Mr Yussif told the GNA in Tamale that some people, especially those in the West Mamprusi District, were throwing their arms up in despair with the false impression that development was eluding the district due to the fact that NDC lost the Parliamentary seat in the area. He said NDC was a government that had the interest of the people at heart and would continue to invest in them to ensure that poverty, disease and illiteracy were addressed. Mr Yussif said detractors of the government were refusing to see or acknowledge the infrastructural development across the country, adding that it was not possible that any government would deliberately refuse to provide any community with development projects. He said the West Mamprusi District had benefitted from the government, with the district having been divided into two in 2012 to speed up development and had since opened a senior secondary school in Yagba and built 12 structures there for the school. Mr Yussif mentioned the rehabilitation of clinics and health centres. He said the Kwasenkpe Health Centre had been upgraded and provided a standby ambulance for referral cases. Mr Yussif said the district assembly had also constructed three CHPS compounds at Duo, Timburi and Nabari and that the assembly had rehabilitated a 10-unit classroom block at Nabari and a six-classroom block and teachers quarters at Sariba. He said there were streetlights at Walewale and along the Nasia highways to help fight highway crime, and gave the assurance that the district would continue with its development drive to ensure alleviation of poverty.
