In her haste to win the sympathy of delegates of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) before their parliamentary primaries, the Deputy Minister for Water Resources, Works and Housing, Dr. Hannah Bissiw hurriedly bought a land for the construction of a party office for the Tano South Constituency where she is currently the candidate of the party.
Within a period of less than 6 months, parents' house as at 2008 before her party came to power, managed to put up a magnificent office for the NDC at Bechem, behind the Bechem Police Station. The office has been completed and fully furnished by Dr. Bissiw.
It is arguably the most beautiful edifice being used as a party office at the constituency level in the country.
The building which is painted in cream and covered with red roofing sheets has a big conference room and offices for party executives and herself as the Parliamentary Candidate of the NDC in the constituency.
So far, a series of meetings have been held at the office but some constituency officers and party faithful believe the deputy minister is only toying with them by using the building as a stepping stone to win the favour of the party members.
Some of the party executives who spoke to the Daily Searchlight on anonymity said they suspect she would take full charge of the building after the elections especially if she loses the parliamentary elections in December.
The reason he gave was that the land on which the offices is standing is fully registered in the of Dr. Bissiw and that makes it very easy for her to stamp total authority over the land and property.
Moreover, they do not understand why she did not paint the office in the black, red, white and green colours of the National Democratic Congress but decided to use the cream and brown colours.
What is very striking about the whole thing is the fact that there is no billboard or sign post to indicate the building is an office of the NDC.
It is behind the Bechem Police Station which is a new site under development.
