Abu Jinapor donated grave-digging machine because gov’t policies killing people - Kobby Fiagbe

A grave digging machine donated by Deputy Chief of Staff to the people Of Damongo in the West Gonja District of the Savannah Region means the government’s policies are killing the people and will need help with graves.

This is according to Managing Editor of the Ghanaian Lens and a former National Propaganda Secretary aspirant of the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

According to the journalist, he expects the Deputy Chief of Staff to donate land for a cemetery to seal the deal since he has provided residents the digging machine

Mr Kobby Fiagbe called the donation “very apt.”

“When you know that the policies of your government are killing your people, the least you can do is to help the living bury the dead with a bit more ease. The next donation would be a parcel of land to be used as a graveyard.” he added.

His comments come after Bole-based Nkligi Fm reported that Mr. Abu Jinapor who is lacing his boots to contest as Parliamentary Candidate for the Damongo Constituency on the ticket of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) donated grave-digging machine to Damongo.

The donation according to Mr Jinapor, were upon a request from the Muslim community who complained of challenges in digging graves to bury the dead in the area because of the rocky nature of the land at the cemetery and appealed to him for his intervention.

He is said to have procured the portable generator powered machine to ease the stress they go through in digging graves each time someone dies and advised them to maintain it properly in order to serve the intended purpose.

Following the donation, some residents have since been making mockery of the gesture likening it to the donation of coffins by a former Member of Parliament (MP) for the Salaga South Constituency and ranking member of Public Accounts committee Abubakari Ibrahim Dey who was accused of trying to smoothen his way to victory ahead of the December 7, 2016 polls by sharing coffins in the area.
