The president, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama has spoken to the delight of the good of Kpandai district in the Northern Region of Ghana with the latest appointment of District Chief Executives across the country. One appointment the president has made which forever the people would be ever grateful for is the appointment of Mr. Alfred Donkor for the Kpandai district.MR. Alfred Donkor,a development specialist has been trained for that purpose. In fact this singular appointment has gladdened the hearts of the entire members of the constituency such that every where one goes it is the latest talk of town.
Mr. Alfred is a ‘die in a wool’ member of the National Democratic Congress who has never for once relented to give his whole heart and being to the cause of the NDC for all these years and until his appointment he is in touch with the district and the entire constituency members who have found in him an indispensable political ally for the cause of development.
The reason for praising the President for the appointment of Mr. Alfred Donkor as the DCE for the Kpandai district is the fact that he is a unifier who even in the face of defeat and adversity he stays calm and collected.Mr Alfred insists on cool headedness in the approach of all issues. As a development specialist he takes nothing to chance by involving all stakeholders in all decision making processes. Indeed he has been referred to as the ‘GRASSROOTS MAN’ of the area.
My interaction with Mr. Alfred Donkor started some years ago when he came purely to use the platform of politics to better the lot of the people of the Kpandai area.Mr Alfred Donkor believes that one man cannot do it all since the collaboration of all is needed in the decision making process.Mr Alfred Donkor says that power must be used judiciously for the sake of the people and that means involving them with the ‘bottom top approach’ in the implementation process of any given project.
In all interactions with the people especially when it comes to helping the NDC against its main opponents,Mr Alfred Donkor leaves all of us marveling as he exhibits a very rare quality of leadership with high sense of statesmanship and a natural sense of statecraft. Many wonder how this young astute and enterprising politician decided that ‘home sweet home’, instead remaining in the Diaspora to better his lot. This has left us with no choice but to come to the conclusion that a ‘true savior’ has come home to fight the battle of development for the people of Kpandai district.
Having interacted with majority of the people of the district and beyond and through discussions under trees, chop bars,Pito bars etc. throughout the length and breadth of the Kpandai district, it has come out palpably clear that the people of the Kpandai district are forever grateful to the President His Excellency Mr. John Dramani Mahama for the appointment of Mr. Alfred Donkor as the president’s nominee.Mr President we can also assure you that the assembly will give your candidate an overwhelming endorsement when the time comes. Come November 2016 the people of Kpandai will speak out through the ballot box by giving you hundred percent President Mahama.
To Mr. Alfred Donkor we look forward to working and supporting you for the cause of real development. We will work assiduously to expose all detractors who will be stumbling blocks towards development by weeding them out so that at the end of the day the NDC as a party in power and the ruling government together with the appointees of the president His Excellency President Mahama will at the end of the day bring all the needed development we so much cherish.
We say thank you President Mahama and may you live long to develop Ghana. Long live Ghana long live Kpandai district.
