BAGBIN, PELPUO'S APPOINTMENTS HAILED (PAGE 15, MARCH 3, 2010)

THE Upper West Regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has described as welcome news the recent appointment of Mr Alban Bagbin and Mr Rashid Pelpuo as Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing and Deputy Majority Leader in Parliament respectively.
According to the party, the performance of the two personalities in Ghanaian politics stood tall among the whole lot.
“They have always projected positively Ghana’s democracy at both national and international levels, which is highly commendable,” the party added.
In a statement issued in Wa by the Regional Secretary of the party, Mr Eric Dakura, the NDC also commended the President, Professor J.E.A. Mills, for honouring the region with the appointment of Dr Benjamin Kunbuor and Mr Joseph Yieleh Chireh as Ministers of State, and said these citizens of the region would continue to serve mother Ghana diligently.
The statement said the region, had always got its due share of appointments from the NDC and was, therefore, grateful.
The NDC condemned the recent statement made by an NPP sympathiser, Nana Darkwa, on a radio station concerning the fire outbreak at former President J.J. Rawlings’s house, and therefore, urged Nana Darkwa to demonstrate respect for leaders and elders in society.
“We ought to condemn Nana Darkwa’s action and urge him to be ethically upright by respecting leaders, since he will also be a leader tomorrow,” the statement concluded.
