STAKES ARE HIGH
BY PETER ATOGEWE WEDAM, ISD EAST MAMPRUSI DISTRICT
Sworn into office, on January 07 as president of the country, Ghanaians have many and varied expectations from the John Evans Atta Mills government.
An accountant with the East Mamprusi Health Insurance Scheme, Mr. Emmanuel Gaani expects the current government to move swiftly to tar the Walewale-Gambaga road so as to make travelling between the two towns less time wasting.
Mr. Gaani also hopes professor Atta Mills’ administration will push more funds into the Northern Development Fund in order to speed up the development process of the three regions of the north.
The accountant expects president Mills to consider many northerners for cabinet positions because to him these were the people who fought for the party whilst it was in opposition a couple of years back.
On the performance of the transitional team, he said it has delayed with its work and also given too much time to people who are to appear before it to verify information it has gathered. He noted signs of an all-inclusive government as being preached by president Mills and this can be seen in the nomination of Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, a known CPP man as a Finance Minister.
Also, a stores officer with the East Mamprusi district assembly, Mr. Baba Sampana is nursing high hopes that the new administration will heavily subsidise fertilisers and other agric inputs so that farmers will readily be able to access and afford them to increase their yield.
Mr. Sampana wants the transitional team to probe the spending of state funds in order to ensure that those that embezzled the tax payer’s money are made to account for such fraudulent expenditures.
Meanwhile, a commentator with the Information Services Department, Mr. Mohammed Alhassan thinks it is proper for the Atta Mills government to add more modules to the National Youth Employment Programme. This he believes will create more employment avenues for many unemployed youths in the country.
