PUT YOUR NATION FIRST- HON. KWAME ASANTE TELLS ASSEMBLY MEMBERS


The Chairman of the National Pension Regulatory Authourity (NPRA), Kwame Asante has asked Assembly Members to relegate their personal parochial and partisan interest to the background and put the interest of the nation first.

He said the success of every Distract Assembly largely depends on the level of cooperation between Assembly Members, Chief Executives as well as other management staff in the discharge of their duties.

Mr. Asante made the call when he inaugurated and swore in members of the Nanumba South District Assembly on behalf of the President John Evans Mills at Wulensi, the district capital.

He appealed to the Assembly Members to look for more avenues to generate funds to increase their revenue to supplement the Common Fund for accelerated development.

The 28 elected and 12 appointed members were sworn in by the Bimbilla Magistrate Court Judge, Mr. F. M. Nibi.

Mr. John Sadan was re-elected for the second time as the Presiding Member of the Nanumba South District Assembly. He polled thirty-eight (38) votes out of the total valid votes cast as the only contender for the position.

In his acceptance speech, Mr. Sadan called on his colleague’s Assembly Members to make meaningful decisions that would help the growth and development of their localities.

He said he believed that when members put aside their political sentiments and allow the interest of their areas to prevail, they could work as a team towards the growth of the district.

In his welcome address, the District Chief Executive Alhaji Seidu Amidu called for concerted efforts from Chiefs, opinion leaders, Political leaders and Unit Committees to eschew all forms of indiscipline and maintain the peaceful co-existence that the district had enjoyed for some time now to facilitate the development of the district which lacks social amenities.
