Participants at the over patronised Town Hall Meeting<\/strong><\/p>\n

The maiden regional town
\nhall meeting held in Ho, Volta Region capital has received a lot of
\ncommendations from residents and opinion leaders in the region.<\/p>\n

Some residents told Daily
\nGuide<\/em><\/strong> after the event that the town hall meeting showed that a lot more
\nhave been achieved under the Akufo-Addo led administration than
\nperceived.\u00a0<\/p>\n

About a fortnight ago, the
\nopposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) issued a statement accusing the
\ngovernment for abandoning the Volta Region in many of its development projects.<\/p>\n

According to the statement
\nsigned by Kafui Agbleze, the Volta Regional Communications Director of the NDC,
\nmost of government\u2019s flagship programs, especially one district one factory was
\na political gimmick with nothing to show for, in the Volta Region.<\/p>\n

However, hundreds of
\nresidents that thronged the 1,200-auditorium of the Ho Technical University for
\nthe Town Hall meeting were overwhelmed to realise that hundreds of projects
\nhave been ongoing in the region.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the theme,
\n\u201cdelivering on our policies; a focus on social
\nInvestments\u201d Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah told residents that
\nthe NPP government has touched many lives through its social intervention
\nprogrammes and were in pursuit of enlarging the economy with emphasis on growth
\nof the private sector.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Minister said the free
\nSenior High School programme, provision of over a hundred thousand jobs through
\nthe Nation Builders Corps (NABCO), Planting for Food and Jobs among others have
\ngiven hope to many.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Minister of
\nHealth, Alex Kwadwo Abban said government has serviced over GH\u00a2945 million of
\ndebts of the National Health Insurance Scheme, (NHIS) with only about GH\u00a2200
\nmillion outstanding. He said more nurses and other health professionals are
\nbeing employed by the government to bring affordable healthcare closer to the
\npublic.<\/p>\n

The Deputy Education
\nMinister, Yaw Osei Adutwum noted that gradually, the challenges that faced the
\nFree SHS are being cleared, particularly the Double track system and urged all
\nto avoid politicising the programme saying \u201ceducation policy comes first before
\npolitics.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Volta Regional Minister,
\nDr. Archibald Yao Letsa commended the Municipal and District Chief Executives
\n(MDCEs) for their hard work in improving the living standard in their
\nrespective areas but said more work has to be done.<\/p>\n

He said the many projects
\nexhibited by them were an indication that they were truly accountable to the
\npeople.<\/p>\n

Present at the meeting were the Awormefia of the Anlo State, Togbui Sri III, President of the Regional House of Chiefs Nana Soglo Allo, the CEO of NABCO Mr. Anyars Ibrahim, the Deputy Minister for Gender, Freda Prempeh, Executives of the opposition NDC, students among other.<\/p>\n
