David
Kurug, a lecturer vying under the ticket of the PNC for the Nabdam Constituency
says when given the nod to govern his people as an MP, he will ensure that
education reaches every corner of his constituency. Education, he indicated has
the potential of breaking the shackles of poverty, hence his resolve to make
education his topmost priority among his developmental agenda. Mr Kurug who is
a lecturer at the Bolgatanga Polytechnic said considering the role of education
in national development, much needed resources ought to be injected into the
sector to enhance its development. Mr Kurug gave the assurance at the Nabdam
district capital, Nangodi after
receiving massive endorsement by constituency delegates to represent as the
party’s Parliamentary Candidate for the area. It was conducted and supervised
by the electoral commission and attended by party enthusiasts among other
functionaries. Thanking his delegates for the confidence repose in him, Mr
Kurug was confident of wrestling power from the incumbent Member of Parliament
for the area, Moses Asaga who for four successive years retained the seat as MP for the ruling NDC. He said as part of his developmental agenda,
he was poised to bringing development to the doorstep of the people and would
remain committed to the task ahead especially in the area of agricultural
development, which he noted, was second to his educational agenda. Mr Kurug
highlighted the plight of ordinary farmers particularly during the dry season and
pledged to demonstrate true commitment to alleviating their plight and
suffering. In the light of this, he will give much preference to agricultural
education whilst liaising with development partners to introduce the use of
mechanized farming methods, hence the reduction and subsidization of
fertilizers for farmers. Mr. Kurug moreover expressed his desire of empowering
the youth through various vocation and skill training to enhance their
livelihood. An educational fund coupled with an effective sponsorship package,
he promised would be established to assist brilliant but needy students. He said when given the opportunity to
represent as MP, he will ensure the establishment of micro finance to assist
women in business and also help improve small and medium enterprises. According
to him, the issue of portable drinking water, electricity and the legalization
of small scale mining forms part of his development agenda and would ensure
that the youth take their rightful places in society for the total development
of the new district. Both the Constituency and Regional Secretary for the party,
Cletus Nagbila, and Albert Adongo urged Ghanaians to consider voting the PNC
into power because the party is ready to change the fortunes of Ghanaians for
the better.
