  Nana Binaddo Buhari isn't a problem to only the Ashanti/ Akyem tribal Npp party, but for Ghana as whole. When President Mahama busily fixing our economy and putting plans to put an end to our power crisis, Nana Binaddo roaming in Volta Region ,telling them he Nana Binaddo is too old to steal Ghana''s money. When President Mahama busily commissioning completed projects and cutting sods to start a new ones, Nana Binaddo is hiding in his Nima flag staff house selecting who he should work with and who he shouldn't, when President Mahama is busily fighting corruption, Nana Binaddo is protecting the corrupt official inside his Npp party who has stolen $5.million and asking and pleading with his Npp folks not to go and discuss the matter in the Media , what Nana Binaddo and his Npp hiding from Ghanaians? The fact of the matter is that, he Nana Binaddo is NOT a leader and for that matter cannot lead Ghana, he is a very low energy person who only wanted to be worship by his gullible followers. He should forget 2016 period.

  This useless minister can't see, so you need the president approve before the roads are done? What is the job description of minister of road's? Every problem you all point fingers to the president, what a useless government who appointed ministers who can't take responsibility for them self. Useless ndc propaganda machine government, moving Ghana backward with their incompetent decision making.

  The good people in the Sissala area, especially Sissala South are yet to see any good roads. Communities such as Nabulo, Duu east, Gwoasi, Santijan, Bawiesiboi, Kormo, and Gbenebisi are all effectively cut off by the tributaries of River Sissala on the south-eestern of the Uper Eat and Wset Regions. Several concerted efforts by a coalition of communities from this area to have the river bridged to create access road proved futile.It is important to note that the river when bridged will link up the two upper regions. Over 70 communities in this area are cut off by the traversing of the river. Mr President, please come to the aid of the people in this area, for they have endured this for several decades. Don't they deserve better Mr Prez? THANKS?

  Grateful for your humble appeal. As communities which happen to find ourselves located at the frontiers we should be tactical in our approach to attract development. your corridor has suffered alot due to many years of invasion of black flies which drove away many indigenous people. I am happy to see a lot of youth staying home today compared to years back. You people need to organise your communities also to attract government attention.

  Am humbled by your piece. Indeed, even though the people have to push for gov"t to construct a bridge over river at the traversion. Hmm ,it's intriguing! How do these political parties able find the road to reach out to the people and give all sorts of vainglorious promises to even tar the road after elections just to get their votes, but suddenly their back on them after elections the which they win anyway. A total neglect! Bad! Over 60 communities in the Sissala south Builsa north and south have no access road due to the dissection of the river. In the C21, a technological and knowledge based age, yet we continue to have this problem yet unfixed due to a dissection. The people deserve better, but not the kind of raw deal. In any case, it's govt responsibility to fix roads among others. Indeed, the traversion has made it unduly long commuting between neighbouring communities. For instance, from Santijan to Doninga is 7km, but due to the river dissection there, it now takes about 250km to reach same community from the other via Tumu by de tour. Mr. Minister at a meeting with the President of the Association of Engineers during the SADA Investment week at Tamale in March 2015 you disclosed that gov't had then no immediate plan to bridge the river. Now do they have one, else what is the way forward. You were Regional Secretary/Minister in turns for the UERCC and UWR between 1983-5 to date. You were Roads and Highways Minister (2013-2014) and you are now current Minister for UWR, what plans do u have for the good people in that area, for they deserve better. The dissection is between the two regions, and also the natural boundary. Yet u could not fix this problem that the people consider as the singular threat or de-limiting factor to their development aspirations. The traversion of the river at that section of the road may require some substantial capital outlay, but it just has to be done to improve transportat ion in the area. Their votes count, they pay taxes, the area is a food basket having been churning out best district and regional farmers overy the years. Yet food stuffs are locked up at farm gates to rot due to lack of access road, thus making them worse off. Pregnant women cannot access referral health services especially when in critical condition including labour that needs that level of attention. The situaton often lead to to maternal mortality. Don't the people there deserve better? Collectively, all they need for now is access road, and all they need is a bridge over that stretch of the road.

  It's sad when a native of the area was made the roads and hailways but failed to fix your own town roads where you nearly lost your life.

  Mr Minister, you're there to fix the people's problems and not to play PR. U were a road minister, u're now regional minister, makes to take a closer view of their problems. Pls just fix their roads, and u're an action minister. A Minister over two decades, but nothing to show for it. The Prez cannot arrange a marriage for u and still lead u to make love or have children with the woman. Various gov'ts (PNDC and NDC) have a pointed u variously as Sec, Min for UER, UWR, Roads Minister.
  and 'sankofa' UW Reg Minister. Do something before your time. Any legacy (ies) to show for. Don't give us akpetese to worsen our heath conditions, fix our roads and you don't need to comparing come the impending elections.

  Our roads are bad, particular roads in the South Sissala area. The people have endured this for far too long. What the Reg Minister, MP and DCE all doing?
