We invited you this afternoon to  react to some media accusations against Hon. Ambrose Dery to the effects  that he is against the establishment of universities in both the Brong  Ahafo and Volta regions of Ghana.<br \/>\nIt should be recalled that on  Sunday, 6th February, 2011, the University for Development Studies UDS,  Wa campus branch of TESCON organised a general meeting. The occasion was  also used to launch TESCON branded \u2018T\u2019 shirts. At this very occasion,  various party functionaries were invited to grace the occasion including  the leadership of TEIN. Hon. Ambrose Dery stated emphatically that  president Evans Fiifi Atta Mills should ensure that the singular golden  venture of establishing universities in the Brong Ahafo and Volta  regions never became a farce. He urged the president to marshall all the  necessary resources for the smooth commencement of teaching and  learning in these universities within the shortest possible time. He  also urged the government to ensure that the right infrastructure is  provided for the Wa campus of UDS for smooth teaching and learning. He  reminded government of a similar venture when on 31st July, 2010; the  vice president did a similar sod-cutting ceremony for the construction  of a regional hospital in Wa.<br \/>\nAs we speak today, there is no action on this exercise.<br \/>\nIt  therefore came as a surprise to TESCON, UDS, Wa campus that some media  houses, especially the \u201cINFORMER\u201d newspaper carried a front page story  captioned: \u201c<strong>B.A, VOLTA DON\u2019T DESERVE UNIVERSITIES. AMBROSE DERY<\/strong>\u201d  in their Wednesday, 9th February, 2011 edition. This, in our candid  opinion is a calculated attempt to discredit the hard-won reputation of  the affable Deputy Minority Leader and MP for Lawra-Nandom.<br \/>\nWe  equally find it difficult to ascertain what the INFORMER newspaper  wanted to achieve in all of this mischief. Instead of representing the  facts on the ground and being circumspect, patriotic and nationalistic,  they rather choose to be mischievous with the singular attempt to  discredit the hard-won reputation of the minority leader, Hon Ambrose  Dery.<br \/>\nHowever, we take solace in the fact that the INFORMER  newspaper has the penchant for maligning and discrediting personalities  who worked hard to distinguished themselves in their various carriers  and professions. If the motive of the paper is to score cheap political  points and divide the country along tribal lines, then we assure them  that on this occasion, they have failed.<br \/>\nContrary to the  assertion of the INFORMER newspaper, Hon. Ambrose Dery emphasised on the  need for unity, national cohesiveness and the fair distribution of  national resources. He went further to commend the TEIN delegation led  by their president for responding to the invitation of their colleague  TESCON members and urged all Ghanaians to emulate the cordial  relationship between TESCON and TEIN members for national development.  How can the same Hon. Ambrose Dery turn round to preach against the  establishment of universities in the Volta and Brong Ahafo region?<br \/>\nWe  believe that either the INFORMER newspaper does not have a  correspondent in the region or the correspondent is a charlatan  masquerading as a journalist, hence this misrepresentation. We therefore  call on the INFORMER newspaper and their likes to act professionally  and be circumspect in their reportage.<br \/>\nTESCON-NPP believes in the  equitable distribution of resources and as such we are not in any way  against the establishment of universities in either of these regions or  their development. But rather this is actually in line with our party\u2019s  objective.<br \/>\nLONG LIVE TESCON<br \/>\nLONG LIVE NPP<br \/>\nLONG LIVE GHANA<br \/>\nNAMBE RAHAMAN SUMAILA (PREZ TESCON. WA CAMPUS.
