Open Letter To Sofo Yumzaa

Dear Yumzaa,

I received your warm felicitation with a lot of admiration to your style of write up. It shows great potential in you and certainly Insha Allah, you are a promising Star to Tolon, Dagbon and Mother Ghana.

Unfortunately, your letter was spiced with malice and garnished with propaganda. Misrepresentation of facts and issues made the entire letter mischievous and mockery to this NDC adminstration. If it was to be Madagascar, you would have been charged of second degree felony punishable to death by starvation from water.

Yumzaa, Just as you were on your way to Accra for your errands, Aunty Asabea from Akyem Pabi had to also rush her little boy Kofi to St Dominic's hospital at Bodua(Akwatia). It took them 45 minutes before they had a taxi, no fuel in the only ambulance in the entire district because Ghana Ambulance service is yet to defray their debt with Universal Oil and also taxi drivers has vowed never to patronize the road from Suhum-Asamankese then to Akwatia because the road is now a death trap and unmotorable.

Aunty Asabea further complained that, she had to spend GHC500 for treatment because the life saving NHIS introduced by NPP has been collapsed was not operational. She had buy everything including paracetamol because none of the drugs prescribed for her was covered by the policy. This is what the poor folks in our rural communities are going through.

Yumzaa, before I got to the office yesterday to start my days activity, I was late and could not join the company's bus. I paid GHC2.40p for less than 10km journey. I still remember in 2013 when we were paying 0.50p to work, today transport fares have galloped from 0.50p to 2.40p within 3 years of Mahama-Amissah led administration. In fact this clearly shows how lives have been "touched" in our communities.

Yumzaa, can you believe Mr Nunfam has removed two of his ceiling fan blades leaving one, his reason been that, the more the blades of the fan the higher it consumes electric current. Don't call this ignorance but its as a result of the wanton increase in utility tarrifs. Just yesterday, the GHC100 power I bought about 8days ago got finished. How can I consume GHC100 of power withing 8days? Even if I am using heater to cook "aduwa" in commercial quantity it can't consume this amount. That's NDC and JM for you. Currently I am married to borehole. Yes the borehole behind my bungalow is free and I need to get use to it because I can no more pay for my water bills. Don't mind those who say it's normal because they still live with their parents and they don't know what it means to pay utility bill.

Yumzaa, for the past year we have been buying a pound of beef for GHC12, just last Sunday when I went to buy some ingredient's for my usual "barima kwaen", you wont believe Nzo Shamsu sold a pound of beef to me for GHC14, so instead of buying 2 pounds, I bought 1 and half pound but the increase in prices of goods and services has not reflected in increase in my salary and emoluments. You see the true definition of better Ghana?

Yumzaa, facts and figure have it that, funds for Suhum - Apedwa, Nsawam to Amasaman project was secured by peerless Kufour. Yumzaa, have you forgotten that humble Agya Atta on the 19th of July 2012 was forced to drive on that rough stretch all in the name inspecting the work which lead to his death because of its bad stage? The Suhum-Apedwa road has caused several miscarriages even to an extend students who by mistake get pregnant will travel along that road for safe abortion instead of buying drugs or seeing the doctor.

Yumzaa, are you aware that Zaideen, Kamil, Nana and all their colleagues across the whole country after finishing school of hygiene for 2 years now have not been posted to serve their country. Sylvia, Krobea, Obaaya as nurses have worked for 8 months without salary, Dotsey, Tsatsu, Senyo, Dorvlo, and Atsu are still unemployed after the completion of their HND programmes. This has led to the formation of unemployed graduates association. This is unprecedented in the history of mother Ghana.

Yumzaa, Finally mpirbi Arahanatu, Npag Dangana and mma Sheitu are all complaining that they can no more get access to "Sinapia" loans. hmm Yumzaa, Can u believe the working capital of Fati Jahima in her charcoal business has collapsed? Yes Fati Jahima has planned switching to Nyongbeika because of the hardship we are facing currently.

Yumzaa, Most finally, NDC Youth groups that visits their MPs are alleging that now the bread for their breakfast at the honourable MPs house has decrease in size and weight can you believe one -man -one plate is now 3 men one plate at Hon Haruna's place? Yes things are hard and I implore you to kindly engage the youth to bear with the MPs in this trying moments.

Thanks so much my brother. May Allah deliver us from the shackles of this clueless JM-Amissah led administration.

Yours Tolon Brother,

Saadat Ablayi Nabila
