What sense do these changes have the ordinary Ghanaian? Moving Rashid Puelpuo from the Employment ministry to another is nothing more than standing at the same spot and raising your legs.

What are the records of Rashid Puelpuo? Wasn't he the one who told Ghanaians to go and cut grass and sell them to make money" What are some of the jobs he helped created under NDC's government from 2012-16?

These so-called reshuffling are just cosmetics to fool the Ghanaian who lacks critical thinking.

So, you see yourself as a teacher, and what exactly do you teach? I pity those children under your care because you are not making any impact on their lives.

If you see Mahama and NDC as a viable government, trust me, you are not that normal because you don't understand your surroundings.

Mahama is telling people like you that the government that made it a priority to build district hospitals across Ghana was "Over ambitious", and he is rather building markets, and which of the two operates around the clock?

I hope you understand economics, now, if inflation is down to 5%, why are people not spending?

You vote for NDC due to food which I understand but discussion real issues that affect real life, is above you. You can't tell me that markets operate around the clock than hospitals, and when Mahama was making that stupid statement, you clapped for him.

Your NDC government says that inflation is down to 5% so, why are people not spending, and you see the one asking such questions as "Gyimifuo".

PRESS STATEMENT BY CONCERNED YOUTH AND ELDERS OF WA CENTRAL AND THE UPPER WEST REGION

RE: REASSIGNMENT OF HON. DR. RASHID PELPUO, MP FOR WA CENTRAL, FROM THE MINISTRY OF LABOUR, JOBS AND EMPLOYMENT TO THE MINISTRY OF SPECIAL INITIATIVES AT THE PRESIDENCY - A GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT TO THE PEOPLE OF UPPER WEST

DATE: 26TH AUGUST, 2026

We, the concerned youth, elders, opinion leaders, and the good people of Wa Central Constituency and the entire Upper West Region, have received with shock, deep disappointment, and utter dismay, the news of the reassignment of our Member of Parliament, Hon. Dr. Rashid Pelpuo, from the substantive Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment to the Ministry of Special Initiatives at the Presidency.

We wish to state clearly and without any ambiguity that this reassignment is not what the people of Upper West Region bargained for. The people of Upper West Region are not happy about this development, and we have every reason to be unhappy.

A HISTORY OF MARGINALIZATION:

For some time now, the Upper West Region has always been left with the little when it comes to the equal share of ministerial appointments. Despite being a stronghold and a loyal backbone of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), and despite our consistent and massive votes that contribute to the victory of the party, we are always given the least representation at the Cabinet level.

This time around, the situation has become worse and unacceptable. We were initially given a Ministry that did not even have Cabinet status, but in the spirit of party unity, patience, and loyalty, we kept quiet. We thought that even if it was not a Cabinet position, our son would still be given the opportunity to serve and to bring development to our people.

But now, to move our only Cabinet Minister from a powerful, sensitive, and central Ministry like the Ministry of Labour, Jobs and Employment - a Ministry that directly addresses the critical issues of unemployment, youth joblessness, and labour agitations that affect our region the most - to a Ministry of Special Initiatives at the Presidency which is not a Cabinet Ministry, is a clear demotion. It is a slap in the face of the people of Upper West Region.

WHAT ARE WE BARGAINING FOR?

The people of Upper West are not asking for too much. We are simply asking for:

1. Fairness and equity in the distribution of ministerial appointments.
2. Respect for our loyalty and contribution to the NDC.
3. Cabinet representation that reflects our status as a region.

Is it too much to ask that a region with 11 constituencies should have at least one substantive Cabinet Minister?

OUR CALL TO ACTION:

We are therefore making a passionate appeal to His Excellency the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, a listening President who believes in equity and inclusion, to as a matter of urgency, reconsider this reassignment.

We are not against the President. We love the President. We voted massively for the President. But we believe this decision does not reflect the principle of regional balance and inclusiveness that the President stands for.

We also call on the Council of Elders of the NDC, the leadership of the Upper West Regional Caucus in Parliament, and all well-meaning people of Upper West to join us in appealing to the Presidency to correct this injustice.

The Upper West Region deserves better. Wa Central deserves better. We cannot continue to be treated as second-class citizens in our own party and in our own country.

We remain loyal members of the NDC, but loyalty must be reciprocated with respect and fairness.

We await urgent and positive action from the Presidency.

Thank you.

Long Live Wa Central!
Long Live Upper West Region!
Long Live the NDC!
Long Live Ghana!

Mr Asia,
You must know that there are consequences for everything in this world. The people of the upper west region should get involved more in politics and aspire to be elected the president of our country. Our region is neglected because many of the youths are not joining politics. We can only get development to the region if we challenge others for the top job of the country. As the shining stars of the north, we must wake up and join politics and be vocal in the airwaves and contribute financially to the party to be given the opportunity like others. Mahama’s mantra of regional balance in awarding ministerial positions is no longer attainable. Right now the upper west has no substantive minister despite 100% record votes.

This is the very effective way to Govern. Not allowing unproductive officials to hang in there doing nothing and enjoying huge Salaries for no work done. Kick all unproductive Ministers out to save yourself from insults and curses thereafter, when at the end of the day you will be held responsible for their laziness and lake of foresight, responsibility and Accountability. Good job Mr President Mahama and always watch your back. God lay His hands on you and bless you with WISDOM and strength.
