President Nana Akufo-Addo delivered a speech of hope as he took the oath of office ---- Here are 11 powerful quotes from that speech. ******** ********* ****** ****** 1. I will protect the public purse. We will provide vision and direction. 2. I ask you to be citizens, not spectators:; citizens, not subjects. 3. It is time to make sure that there is a true separation of powers in our arms of government. 4. I will not let you, the people of Ghana, down. 5. The change we have voted for has to start with each individual. I ask you to be responsible citizens. 6. It is time to define what being a Ghanaian ought to mean. Being a Ghanaian must mean you sign up to a definable code of conduct. 7. I shall protect the public purse by insisting on value for money in all transactions. 8. I see exciting times ahead, the rule of law will be the underlining tenet of our governance. 9. We should learn and accept that we do not own the land, but hold in trust for future generations. 10. State coffers are not the spoils for victorious political parties. I promise to protect the public purse. 11. After 60 years of independence, we no longer have any excuse for being poor.

I LIKEWISE THOUGHT THE NAME "ZONGO" IS MISLEADING. CHORKOR, AREAS OF ASHAIMAN & OTHER PLACES SHARE SAME OR SIMILAR FEATURES WITH ZONGOS. WILL THEY BE INCLUDED BY A MUSLIM ADMINISTRATOR WHEN RESIDENTS ARE FROM A DIFFERENT REGION? I CAN SEE MAKARANTAS & MOSQUES BEING BUILT, WHICH IS FINE. BUT WILL THEY CHANNEL FUNDS FOR DEVELOPING THOSE SEGMENTS NOT INHABITED BY NON-MUSLIMS?

we now also want out own Akan development ministry so there is no discrimination . Plain and simple NDC is not a political party but the megaphone of a hegemony/tribalism treacherous insidious movement of Ewes Northerners and haters/traitors of the Akan. They wooed and deceived the left wing aspirations and heritage of the Akan people but installing a few naive genuine patriots or impeccable characters like Mills to front their true criminal genocide agenda. Any nation that allows murder of the leaders to go unpunished no matter the lying propaganda justification is doomed to failure and that is a fact of history , NDC has continuously found it necessary to murder all Akan leaders starting from Kotoka's wickedness, to Acheampong and now Mills. We Akans can not call these Ewes and Northerners brothers if their most intimate desires is our destruction stemming from deep pathological hate and is manifested in their style of govt which has always been very destructive and retrogressive , be it the buga buga rawlings or the family and friends corruption/looting of Mahama. We thank Akans of the left wing inclination for showing their support to remove this criminal mafia by not excising their right not to vote and therefore leaving the NDC high and dry.They know the Akans are half right wing and the other half left wing so their calculation election engineering required that they stick to the hegemony of the Ewes and fantical islamic discrimination mixed with tribalism of the northerners and they would win hands down every election, little did they know that the ideological left wing of the Fanti speaking people and the Brong Ahafo are far more sophisticated and can not be fooled by no one forever. Next year we will see and witness the true extent of the destruction and expose with real proofs the colonization by Ewes and Northerners of the wealth of the Akans . Justice should be enforced not these fake laws that have so many loop holes that true justice in the interest of the people is elusive. We witness how thew Mahama family now have control of all natural resources including reserves of Bauxite and iron ore so frustrated and sabotaged every effort at industrialization and construction of railway networks as they did not want the people to get wealthy by adding value and exporting . Its easier to manipulate ignorant illiterate impoverished people. They snear scoff and laugh as they know these and other impediments and obstacles will seriously slow down NPP's deep desire to secure a true development for our people , yes the battle goes on and the only way is to cut these pepeni/ayigbe out of our country so we gain new independence.

It's ZONGO DEVELOPMENT not MUSLIM DEVELOPMENT. Not all Muslims live in the Zongos. And Zongos are not particular to one single region - they are found in ALL the 10 regions. You mention Chokor and Ashiaman, what did you miss about the name of the new ministry? It's ZONGO AND INNER CITY DEVELOPMENT!!!!!!
A policy has been announced, we all haven't yet seen the detailed plan -- and you are presuming that "mosques" and "makarantas" will be built under the plan!! It's hard to see how development of the Zongos will focus on building mosques and makarantas rather than otherwise.

If it's to alleviate poverty and provide jobs and Urban Development to zongo communities then I'm afraid it's a wrong move. Poverty is not only reminiscent of Muslims or zongo residents but poverty is common amongst all areas and regions in gh. Better to create a poverty alleviation ministry instead not a ministry that caters ONLY to zongo residents

Gender encompasses 100% of citizens who identify as either male or female and youth is a stage/phase a 100% of citizens have or will pass through.

Can you say the same applies to being identified as being from the Zongo?

There are loads of failure templates for Nana to draw experience from. Nigeria did similar thing appointing a Minister for the development of the Niger Delta after many years of neglet. The Ministers just like in Ghana's Zongo minister were all from the ethnic tribe of the zone but, it was frought with controvercies and challenges of who gets what and where priorities should belong. It failed woefully cos there never were conscientious decisions until government changed hands. Wish Nana Addo well though and hope it'll not turn out to be a shot in the legs for NPP at the end of the day. GOOD LUCK.

Is this man really serious? Like what NDC did with SADA? Hahaha that disgraceful policy u guys looted? Let's not forget the ministry has inner city in it and a Zongo just don't mean a group of Muslims living in a less deprived area these days, it simply means an area where there is a harsh living condition with filth and slow development. There is no way East Legon can be put in a league of sanitation and development with areas like Tabora,Darkuman, Abeka n all for a funny reason we all don't know why when it's all the same Ghana we live in. Some areas are way ahead of others in terms of sanitation and development so having a ministry to tackle the development gap wouldn't make sense? This ministry is going to develop "Changli" a town u have stolen from and never given back. I really did like u Mr Fuseini but spending time in Tamale opened my eyes to get to know the kind of greed that was within you. There is extreme poverty in the North and you Pple just filled ur pocket with the funds that could have in a way closed the gap between the South.

NDC's last hope of coming back to power has been dealt a serious setback, they will lose the Zongo votes forever, their second strong hold is been wrestled from them. So all this long talk is just to fight back and create some doubts knowing that they failed the Zongo community to the extent that the SADA guinea fowls fled to Burkina Faso.So people expect more of this nonsense in the coming days because without the Zongo votes the NDC will be considered as an Endangered Species.

The arguement by Mr Inusah Fuseini can't win him a case in a court of competent jurisdiction. SADA created for all people in the north, including both Christians and Muslims. The inner city and zongo community is a ministry that would be serving all the ten region with it minister.
