Ghahadze (C/R) Aug. 24, GNA - The National Democratic Congress(NDC) parliamentary candidate for Effutu, Mr Mike Allan Hammah has appealed to Ghanaians to return the NDC to power to continue its rural development programme.
Mr Hammah made the appealed when addressing some youth groups at Effutu Ghahadze.
He said during the NDC regime, most rural communities in the country, under the Government Rural Development Programme, were connected to the national electrification grid and also benefited from good drinking water.
Mr Hammah said it was during that programme that Ghahadze and some other communities in the area were connected to electricity and enjoyed potable water.
According to him, during that programme, the Winneba and Baafikrom water headways were constructed and the one at Agona Kwanyako was expanded.
He told the youth that the construction of the two water headways and expansion of the Kwanyako headway had helped to minimize water problem in the area, especially Winneba.
Mr Hammah said the NDC policy for accelerated and sustainable economic development in the rural area was based on the under-developed nature of the place though most of the national resource came from there.
"It was for this reason that the NDC embarked on a vigorous social and economic infrastructure throughout the country by laying the foundation for private sector-led economic development". He mentioned some of the infrastructure as extension of electricity, construction and rehabilitation of roads in the rural and urban areas.
Mr Hammah said: "The NDC, when voted into power, would peruse pragmatic policies and programmes that would harness the under-developed capacity of the rural economy for sustainable and accelerated development of the nation".
