A pro-New Patriotic Party (NPP) group in the Western Region, Anagyi St. Francis Youth Wing, on Monday took to some streets of the Kwesimintsim Constituency in Takoradi, clearing weeds and desilting chocked gutters.<\/p>\n
According to the group, this is how they chose to join the commemoration of the President\u2019s 100\u00a0days in office, and also to drum home his achievement within this period.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cWe believe his 100 days has sent a positive signal that Ghana is on the right path. He has all his ministers and deputy ministers of state in place, he has restored nursing and teacher trainee allowances, he has increased the military\u2019s allowances from $31-$35, payment of NHIS will be coming next week and the free SHS will be coming this September, we believe and are convinced that so far so good\u201d.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\u201cThis clean-up exercise is to recognize the feat he has achieved\u201d Chairman of the St. Francis polling station, Sampson Buckman told news men.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Women and children of all ages in the youth wing, with support from the presiding member of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly, Rt. Hon John Davis, Chairman of the NPP Kwesimintsim Constituency, Mr. Ransford Odame Fening, and some old women of the NPP in the constituency, started their exercise few minutes after 6 in the morning.<\/p>\n
\nThey cleared areas overgrown with weeds around the Anagyi Park, desilted gutters along the main Anagyi Effiakuma road, and removed blockade to allow free flow of waste water from nearby homes.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis exercise is not going to be a 9-day wonder. As youth in the electoral area, we will in the coming days work on other streets, and when that is done, our next move will be to ensure that all street lights in the electoral area are fixed. This is our contribution towards getting Ghana to a better path\u201d, spokesperson for the group, Kafui Yaw Robertson reiterated.<\/p>\n
