District\u00a0Assembly and Unit Committee elections<\/strong><\/a><\/span> on March 3, 2015.<\/p>\n[contextly_sidebar id=”VnZs7rZtVbfPxdfJa5exncr5f61lhbnd”]\u201cWe will boycott and not take part in the upcoming district assembly elections in February 2015, intensify our peaceful demonstrations, boycott and refuse to take part in the 2016 Presidential and Parliamentary elections.\u201d<\/p>\n
Their decision is largely due to what they described as government\u2019s total neglect of Ward \u2018K\u2019 on the nation\u2019s development priority list.<\/p>\n
They have lined up a series of revolutionary activities to pressurize government to address their concerns.<\/p>\n
They have therefore given government up to January 4, 2015 to begin the construction works or face the dire consequences.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have decided that if nothing convincing is done in solving these problems by January 4, 2015 we will have no option but to explore other options within the laws of the land to have our issues addressed.\u201d<\/p>\n
Spokesperson for the protesters, Abdul-Rauf Ibrahim told Citi News<\/strong> they were tired of campaign promises and needed quick action by government.<\/p>\n\u201cIt is not clear to us why the area has been neglected all this while: Ward \u2018K\u2019 is a community and in fact one of the biggest electoral areas in the Tamale North constituency: it has eight polling stations with a total population of over 1.5 million yet life has been unbearable for us.\u201d<\/p>\n
He recalled, \u201cThe District Chief Executive, Hon. Mohammed Sorigudoo in September visited the community after the elapse of the MP\u2019s time line and also assured the community elders of the commencement of work on the roads and drainage systems: incidentally, he also gave two weeks time line frame and similarly nothing happened till date.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abdul- Rauf Ibrahim added, \u201cThe assemblyman of Ward \u2018K\u2019 electoral area, Hon. Abdulai Mohammed a.k.a Jakpahi keep assuring the community that his research revealed that work on the roads and drainage systems would be done anytime soon, he however never gave time lines but so far nothing has happened too.\u201d<\/p>\n
As one of the densely populated communities in the Sagnarigu District, Ward \u2018K\u2019 lacks drainage systems and road network.<\/p>\n
It is a well known fact that severe floods have always ravaged some parts of the Ward \u2018K\u2019 community during torrential rains.<\/p>\n
Ward \u2018K\u2019 is sharing boundaries with the Northern Regional Coordinating Council and Tishigu where the Minister for Roads and Highways, Hon. Inusah Fuseini hails.<\/p>\n
