Re: NPP Records More Achievements In Yunyo Than NDC – MP
The National Democratic Congress in the Yunyoo constituency has sighted with utmost shock, a news item published by Express news Ghana and carried by major online news portals including Ghanaweb and peacefmonline.
The news item from the MP sort to claim that the NPP has performed better than the NDC in the Yunyoo constituency and went ahead to list his achievements for 7 years as both District Chief Executive (DCE) and Member of Parliament (MP).
Reading through the story, the NDC has noticed that the Member of Parliament (MP) is only relying on central government projects and using it as his personal achievement as MP which is very indicting on his credibility. The legitimate question to ask is, what has the Member of Parliament used his near 4-year Common Fund for? Is it the case that he has diverted his Common Fund (CF) to put up a modern befitting self-contained apartment for himself and his family in Nalerigu, the regional capital at the expense of the deplorable roads and infrastructural deficit in the Constituency? He spoke on only three sectors of the economy, i.e. water and sanitation, rural electrification and human resource development. The fact is that the MP inherited ongoing projects in all the 31 communities that he has mentioned in his release from the NDC after the 2016 election which was ongoing in phases with many communities including his village, Jimbale and the district capital, Yunyoo which were already completed, connected and powered to the national grid in 2014.
Most of the boreholes he claimed to have drilled are malfunctioning due to poor work and the others that he claimed are ongoing have also been abandoned by contractors over non-payment. Conspicuously missing in his script were key sectors of the economy namely; Road infrastructure, Education, Health and Agriculture which lends credence to his lack of vision and incompetence in these sectors.
✔ There was no mention of any project on roads which is critical to the daily activities of the people
✔ There was no mention of any health project carried out in the constituency
✔ There was no mention of any school project carried in the constituency and
✔ There was no mention of any project on agriculture
This was obviously not an oversight but clearly lack of vision and plan in those sectors. The constituency is a rural one and the major occupation of the people is farming but where will the people pass to your farms if there are no roads? How would they convey their farm produce to their homes and market places if there are no good roads? If they are sick how will they get treatment if there are no clinics and CHPS compounds? Where will their children go to school if there are no schools?
It is worthy of note, that though the government of the National Democratic Congress, NDC and hon Joseph BipobaNaabu constructed 19 boreholes, they are all functioning and serving their purposes up till now as compared to the NPP’s shabby borehole projects which most of them have broken down. The hallmark of the NDC is quality.
To set the records straight, below are the projects that Hon. Joseph BipobaNaabu and the government of the NDC have undertaken from 2012-2020.

It must be noted that all the schools built by Hon Joseph BipobaNaabu were fully furnished with furniture including the headmasters’ offices. Toilets and urinary places were components of the school projects.
Provision of FurnitureFrom MP’s Common Fund (CF)
Hon Joseph BipobaNaabu provided dual desk furniture to replace weak ones and also to curb the rising furniture deficits as a result of increasing student intake in the following schools;
ü Dobinyantoa
ü Nasuan JHS
ü Gbeduri
ü Mantana
ü Jagol
ü Yunyoo-Naagu
ü Tambing
ü Dubon
The MP since he took office in 2017 has not made any attempt to complete the E-Block that that was started and is at completion level by the NDC and hon Joseph BipobaNaabu.
ICT SupportFrom MP’s Common Fund (CF)
Hon Joseph BipobaNaabu also donated 10 computers each to all eight (8) the Junior High Schools in the constituency at the time.
Health Support From MP’s Common Fund (CF)
Hon Joseph BipobaNaabu built from scratch, completed and handed over fully furnished CHPS compounds in the following communities;
✔ Namong
✔ Jimbale
✔ Mantana
✔ Gbingbalanchet
✔ Gbankurugu
✔ Sambik
✔ Nurses quarters at Sambik
✔ Provision of solar lights to all built CHPS compounds
Apart from building the health facilities to aid health care delivery, hon Joseph BipobaNaabu has supplied anti-snake drugs to the various health centers to save the lives of the constituents. He was also noted for using his Common Fund to settle medical bills of constituents.
Security Support From MP’s Common Fund (CF)
Ø Namong Police Station
Ø Provision of fuel, car tires, car batteries and other logistics for police to aid in their patrol and intelligence gathering
Agriculture Support From MP’s Common Fund (CF)
Donation of wellington boots, machetes, rain coats weedicides and fertilizers to constituents.
In view of the above unchallengeable achievements by the NDC and hon Joseph BipobaNaabu in the Yunyoo Constituency, it is evidently clear that the NPP MP is afraid of his own shadows as he knows that there will be a day of accountability. He is crying foul because he knows he has performed woefully poor as compared to the outstanding performance of the NDC for the 8 years when they were in power.
The MP claims that the NDC has been in power for 16 years and has done nothing for the constituency. In any case, they have also been in power for 15 years now under the 8 years of President Kufour and 7years of Nana Addorespectively. What can they boast of?
Social ProgramsFom MP’s Common Fund (CF)
Hon Joseph BipobaNaabu used his personal vehicle to transport patients to and fro hospitals. The corpses of those who unfortunately lost their lives in the hospitals were conveyed back home to their families for burial. However, the current MP does not even have a bicycle for same or similar purpose and he doesn’t want to mingle with the constituents ever since he became MP.
Note!: We want the MP to know that honSampoa Timothy Laari has never been a DCE of the Yunyoo district. He was however, a DCE of the then Bunkpurugu/Yunyoo district for 2 years from 2014 to 2016 and was succeeded by hon Oscar Liwaal, the current NPP MP for Yunyoo.
We wish to state emphatically that the MP, honLiwaal Oscar is the greatest beneficiary of the NDC especially, under H.E. John DramaniMahama and should be grateful because, he calls himself MP today as a result of the creation of the Yunyoo Constituency in 2012 by the NDC government. What else is development? Bringing governance and representation to the door steps of people is a great step to development and we expect him to know that.
Having stated clearly what Hon. Joseph BipobaNaabu has used his MP’s common Fund for, during his 8 year tenure as MP for the good people of Yunyoo constituency, we call on the NPP MP for Yunyoo, hon Oscar Liwaal to also account to the good people what he used his District Assembly Common Fund for as DCE for 4 years and what he has used his MP’s Common Fund for because, there are clear differences between Central Government Projects, MP’s Common Fund Projects, District Assembly Common Fund Projects and NGO funded projects.
