Govt has come to unite Ghanaians -Minister

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Abuakwa, Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo, has said for the past three years, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government had proved wrong the false propaganda by its opponents that it would support the take over of farm lands from settler farmers.

He appealed to the people of Aboabo in the East Akim District to dismiss any politician who would approach them with such propaganda during the forthcoming campaign for the 2004 general elections.

Nana Akuffo-Addo said this when he visited the electorates at Aboabo on Sunday as part of his tour of the constituency.

''The government is for all Ghanaians and aims at uniting the people irrespective of their ethnic background. Every Ghanaian has the right to live anywhere in the country.''

The East Akim District Chief Executive, Mr. Emmanuel Asihene, said efforts are being made to ensure that loan facilities got to as many women as possible in the district.

The Assemblyman for the area, Mr Oppong Owereko, thanked the MP and the district assembly for the provision of potable water for the people in the area.

Mr Owereko appealed for construction of road to connect the communities in the area to the Bunso-Apedwa road to enable the farmers in the area to transport their produce to marketing centres
