The Vice-President with the Regional Minister, Kwabena Darko-Mensah
The
Vice-President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has described the current New Patriotic
Party (NPP) government as the most successful in the history of the Fourth
Republic.
According to him, the
government had delivered on a number of promises it made to Ghanaians during
the 2016 electioneering campaign.
The Vice-President was addressing some Muslims in the Western
Region on Saturday, as part of his nationwide Ramadan tour.
His first port of call was in the Mpohor District where he paid a courtesy call
on the Paramount Chief of Mpohor Traditional Area, Osaberima Kow Entsie II. He
later visited the mosque in the area to join the Muslim faithful to pray.
Dr Bawumia also visited the mosques at Axim and Kangbuinli, a
popular Moslem community in the Ellembelle District, to join his fellow Muslims
to pray for Ghana.
He used the opportunity to tout some achievements of the
government, including the establishment of
the Zongo Development Fund to help cater for the development needs of the Zongo
communities.
He mentioned the implementation of the free senior high school. “When we
talk about development, no country has developed without a literate population
and I believe this policy will benefit the business community the more,” he
added.
“We have employed 100,000 youth through the Nation Builders Corps
(NABCO) programme. We have restored nursing and teacher training
allowance. We are issuing national ID cards”, he pointed.
He noted that government had delivered a national digital address
system, and established three development authorities – northern, middle and coastal.
“We have reduced electricity tariffs. We have expanded the
LEAP programme. We have more than doubled our economic growth”, he said.
Dr. Bawumia pointed out that government would continue
to deliver on its promises to improve the living standard of Ghanaians.
