Government to continue NDC's Development projects

The government of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) will continue from where its predecessor left off, but policies and actions that were taken against interest of the people would be reviewed, Mr Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, Deputy Minister of Transport and Communications said on Friday.

Whilst the government of the NPP would not condone any wrong doing and impropriety on the part of the former administration and its functionaries, it would not undo the gains that have been achieved through the collective efforts of the people, Mr Agyeman-Manu said at Zebilla when he addressed the first in a series of meetings of District Chief Executives (DCES) in the Upper East Region.

The Regional meetings, introduced by the new government, are to be held on the last Friday of every month to promote closer interaction among the DCEs, sector ministries, departments and agencies at the national, regional and district levels.

The meetings would also rotate among the various district capitals, during which the DCEs would compare notes on problems confronting the development of their districts and share experiences.

Mr Agyeman-Manu urged DCEs and heads of decentralised departments to work closely together to move the country forward socio-economically, since anything short of that would be a disservice to the people they have been employed to serve.
