WARE HOUSE, CHPS COMP. ET ALL COMPLETED IN TALENSI & NABDAM 5TH SEPT., 2019
Public and Civil Servants have been
given a strong caution, to stay off partisan politics in as far as they remain
staff and workers under institutions of state categorised as such.

| Hon. Tangoba Abayage Speaking the Nabdam engagement |
Hon. Abayage emphasised that,
public and civil servants were duty-bound and obligated to work for and assist
the government of the day to succeed in delivering its mandate to the people.
She added, “it is against normal practice and against the rules of engagement
for you as civil servants, to meddle in party politics and there will be
serious consequences for such errant civil servants”.
The minister and her team were then
led by Nabdam District Chief Executive, Hon. Agnes Anamoo, to inspect a dam in
the Zua community under President Nana Addo’s 1-Village 1-Dam [1V1D]
initiative. At the site, Madam Abayage described the completed dam as “a
beautiful dam” after seeing the clean finishing of the job done by the
contractor. She was however, not too happy with community members and whoever
might have instructed them, to open an underground valve which caused a good
quantity of the water to gush out through to the time of her visit.

She therefore directed the
immediate sealing of the valve to retain the remainder of the water in the dam.
She explained that the dam’s construction as may be well-known to all, was to
aid dry season gardening in the area and thus noted that, the letting out of
the water definitely impedes that laudable objective. Meanwhile, this same
community had already been provided with two boreholes which were successfully,
serving the water needs of community members.
The Regional Minister also made
time to inspect ongoing works on a three-bedroom official bungalow for the DCE
which the contractor on site reported was started early this year and scheduled
for completion by December, 2019. The bungalow was already roofed, floor tiled
with burglar-proof windows fitted and ceiling, also in place.

On her way out of the Nabdam District,
Hon. Abayage stopped over at the Sakote CHPS compound where she inspected a
mechanised borehole and a four-bed apartment housing staff of the health facility.
Meanwhile, a bridge over a river connecting Sakote to Pelungu where flood
waters drowned two persons in the heavy rains of August, 2019, was also inspected
as the minister disclosed that, the stretch of road was captured under the two
billion US Dollar Sino-Hydro deal between the governments of Ghana and
China.
In the Talensi District, a newly
constructed office annex for the National Health Insurance Scheme was
inspected. At the time of the minister’s visit, this facility was being used by
staff of the scheme.

Hon. Abayage extended her
inspection tour to a 1,000 metric tone ware house in the Pusu-Namongor vicinity
which was roofed and fitted with an aluminium roller main gate. The facility
comes under the government’s 1-District, 1 –Ware House policy and has two
separate additional buildings serving as offices and changing rooms.
The day’s rounds ended at the newly
constructed Awaradone CHPS compound also in the Talensi District which is since
furnished and in use. The facility has five rooms comprising a delivery room,
lay-in area, a store, an out-patient department and labour room among
others.
