Nana Sarpong alleged.<\/p>\n<p>He made the allegation on Kumasi based, Otec FM on Monday in an interview granted him in commemoration of International Day for Persons with Disability; revealing that the information got to his notice when a disabled person approached him for assistance in order to reclaim their share of the Common Fund.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lady who is physically challenged approached me asking for help because according to her, I was the one who could lead her get back their money\u201d. He narrated<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe said Nana, do you know the DCE and his Finance Officer have spent money allocated for us from the District Assembly\u2019s Common Fund\u201d. Nana quoted the lady as saying<\/p>\n<p>In his quest for fairness for the disabled persons, he confronted the newly appointed DCE for clarification and was later on told by the past official that the said money was used for the construction of roads.<\/p>\n<p>The member of the Order of the British Empire indicated that he had to  send  a strong warning to the said DCE that he was flouting the laws upon which he (DCE) apologized.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NDC DCE has finally paid the amount to the physically challenged in the District\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would not like to mention the name of the DCE or his District for now\u201d. He said<\/p>\n<p>December 3rd of every year is an international day to celebrate the physically challenged in the society. Many communities have started making a change in the lives of the disabled.<\/p>\n<p>At Asawase, a suburb of Kumasi, a football match was organized for the disabled.<\/p>\n<p>However, Nana Sarpong in his interview urged all Ghanaians to come together and help fight for people with disability for a united society.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 32 updated by: 32 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>General News of Tuesday, 5 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-05 NDC supporters A member of the Order of the British Empire, an International Non-Governmental Organisation, Nana Kofi Sarpong has alleged that some officials of the past National Democratic Congress (NDC) government used money intended for disabled persons for the construction of roads. \u201cA District Chief [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":400436,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-443785","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-local-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>NDC administration used funds for disabled persons to construct roads - Kofi Sarpong alleges - Ghanamma.com<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2017\/12\/05\/ndc-administration-used-funds-for-disabled-persons-to-construct-roads-kofi-sarpong-alleges\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"NDC administration used funds for disabled persons to construct roads - Kofi Sarpong alleges - Ghanamma.com\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"General News of Tuesday, 5 December 2017 Source: mynewsgh.com 2017-12-05 NDC supporters A member of the Order of the British Empire, an International Non-Governmental Organisation, Nana Kofi Sarpong has alleged that some officials of the past National Democratic Congress (NDC) government used money intended for disabled persons for the construction of roads. \u201cA District Chief [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@ghanamma\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/05\\\/ndc-administration-used-funds-for-disabled-persons-to-construct-roads-kofi-sarpong-alleges\\\/#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/www.ghanamma.com\\\/2017\\\/12\\\/05\\\/ndc-administration-used-funds-for-disabled-persons-to-construct-roads-kofi-sarpong-alleges\\\/\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"\",\"@id\":\"\"},\"headline\":\"NDC administration used funds for disabled persons to construct roads &#8211;
