Narration: The Upper East Regional
Minister, Alhaji Limuna-Mohammed Muniru says government through prudent
managerial strategies was determined to mobilize adequate resources to ensure a
sustainable growth and development of the country. Government, he moreover echoed was in its
action phase of development and the Better Ghana Agenda which is on course
would soon make life comfortable for Ghanaians. He noted that government had
faced a few fiscal challenges, some of which emanate from the credit crunch
experience by the developed countries who are its developmental partners.
Alhaji Mohammed-Muniru gave the assurance during the submission of the
executive committee report of the Bawku Municipal Assembly at Bawku. Here is a
report by correspondent Isaac Asare.
Report
In
his address, Alhaji Mohammed-Muniru urged the existing and newly created
districts not to fold their arms and wait for handouts from developmental
partners and transfer from central government but rather double their effort in
mobilizing revenue internally. For him, Internal Generated Funds (IGF) when
prioritized could address some internal problems facing the assembly. He
stressed that assemblies need to sit up and mobilize their IGF for sustained
development as it was the only way that could help keep the assembly on its
toes. Alhaji Mohammed-Muniru hinted that the intended street naming and
property addressing system could enhance property identification and facilitate
property rate collection among others. Presenting the committee report, the
Regional Minister mentioned that six sub-committee’s recommendation including
finance and administration, environmental health and sanitation, works,
development planning, medium and small scale and justice and security were
presented for approval and implementation. On security and justice, Alhaji
Mohammed Muniru disclosed that the four year old motor riding ban on men would
soon be considered for review. He said although the committee was satisfied
with the work of security agencies in the municipality, there were more to be
done to enhance the situation to bring absolute peace to the area.
