A PRINCIPAL accountant at the Wa regional Hospital, Mr Karim Kuuri, has filed his nomination to contest for the Chapuri electoral area in the Jirapa district of the Upper West region.
The 37–year-old accountant said his desire to contest for the seat was as a result of calls from the people of the area who saw him as somebody who had the capabilities to champion their cause at the Jirapa district assembly.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic in Wa, Mr Kuuri said before the decision to contest, he had already been helping his area through acts of philanthropy.
“I have been voluntarily assisting my people in so many ways, with the recent one being the donation of football jerseys to the local basic school in the electoral area,” he added.
He said education was going to be his main priority as that was the only way to fight and reduce poverty in the area.
According to him, incentive packages would be instituted to encourage parents to send their children to school.
Mr Kuuri, who for some time now has been a resource person of a popular radio programme dubbed “business hour” to educate the business community and the general public in the Upper west region, was optimistic that he would get the mandate of the people.
He said the Chapuri electoral area which has produced a number of prominent people, including the late Edward Salia, a former member of parliament for Jirapa and a Minister of State, needed somebody with strong personality to represent the people.
He was hopeful that he would win the elections and contribute towards the development of the area and the district as a whole.
Mr Kuuri holds a Degree in Commerce from the University of Cape–Coast and is a finalist of the Institute of Chartered Accountants (Ghana).
He also holds executive certificates in project management, banking and finance.
