The Deputy Northern Regional Minister, Alhaji A. B. A. Fuseini has denied accusations that government has neglected the\u00a0Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) by failing to include it in the 2015 budget.<\/p>\n
He asked: \u201cIs the budget the only place where an allocation can be made to any institution? There are other transactions that take place after the budget.\u201d<\/p>\n
Speaking on Eyewitness News<\/strong>, the Deputy Minister said the lack of budgetary allocation to the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) in the 2015 budget should not be misconstrued to mean the government has neglected the Authority.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”kyn3Gke2bAUPq8mWJ8sxVQg0UNN3fBt6″]His comments come on the back of anger expressed by some organizations in the three regions of the north and farmers, about the exclusion of SADA in the 2015 budget<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>which was presented to Parliament on November 19.<\/p>\n According to them, the exclusion of SADA is an indication that government has no plans to develop the three regions of the north at heart.<\/p>\n But Alhaji Fuseini who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Sagnarigu North Constituency remarked that despite the absence of SADA in the 2015 budget, \u201cit will be farfetched to draw the conclusion that because you haven\u2019t seen anything in the budge, it presupposes that government has not done anything for SADA in this 2015 coming year.\u201d<\/p>\n
