Binduri In The Limelight

Patience is needed by investors, farmers, expectant mothers and greatly needed by politicians. Patiently, Binduri too has been recognized by the affable President, John Mahama through its son.

I wish to sincerely congratulate Hon. Dr. Robert Kuganab-Lem on his nomination as the Upper East Regional Deputy Minister. The people of Binduri should be proud of Dr. Robert Kuganab-Lem, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for the 2016 Elections for having been the first Parliamentary Candidate in the Binduri Constituency to have been nominated for a ministerial position under the Fourth Republican Constitution.

This nomination and subsequent approval by Parliament put Binduri on the limelight as far as ministerial appointments are concerned and this clearly communicates that His Excellency, President John Dramani Mahama has not forgotten about the good people of Binduri

Since 1992 the good people of Binduri have always voted massively for the NDC Presidential Candidates and Binduri is a constituency where NDC has won all the Presidential Elections since 1992. The time has therefore come for their loyalty to be recognized and rewarded. Dr. Kunganab-Lem’s appointment should be seen by the people of Binduri as recognition of their undying love for and loyalty to the great NDC.

The good people of Binduri should therefore come out with one common voice to support Dr. Robert Kuganab-Lem as he begins a new journey and to come out strongly to rally around him and vote massively for him and President, John Dramani Mahama in the Parliamentary and Presidential Elections this year, 2016.

It is highly expected that Hon. Dr. Kuganab-Lem when he assumes office after going through Parliamentary vetting and approval would use his good offices and his expertise to bring development to the Upper East Region so that Binduri could have its share.

The Deputy Minister nominee knows the problems of Binduri very well and should do his best to help solve some of the persistent annual and seeming perennial problems that occur at Binduri. One of the main problems for the people of Binduri is lack of potable drinking water and it is high time this perennial problem was solved.

Binduri District has about 124 communities and people have lived in Binduri for centuries yet Binduri has no District Hospital. Seeking for healthcare in Binduri is a nightmare and pregnant women and children are completely at the mighty mercies of God for healthcare providence.

The performances of students in examinations at the BECE and WASSCE have been very bad consistently for so many years compared to performances in other districts in the country and this problem seems not to be tackled. The future of the children of Binduri does not look good as many do not pass these examinations with ease and their parents are also not economically prepared to help them resit for as many times as time and money would allow them till they pass to continue to higher levels. The standards of performances in BECE and WASSCE must improve in Binduri.

The solutions to these problems are the collective responsibilities of every citizen of Binduri though the leaders must lead and spearhead and make headways for the masses to support them. Hon. Dr. Kuganab-Lem should therefore call on the Sitting Member of Parliament for Binduri, Hon. Ben Noah Azure, the chiefs, opinion and women leaders of Binduri for support to help develop Binduri, one of the most deprived districts in Ghana.

Now, it is my wish that any grown up in Binduri would also see the kind gesture of President, John Dramani Mahama and in return give their maximum support to Dr. Kuganab-Lem to perform well at the regional level that could cascade down to Binduri.

It is my heartfelt wish that during the period Dr.Kuganab-Lem would occupy the ministerial position; Upper East Region will see more developmental projects so Binduri could have its share.

May the Good Lord take you through this new journey and grant you what it takes to deliver the goods excellently.
