Accra, March 20, GNA –
Johnson Avuletey, Deputy Minister, Volta Region, Wednesday,
retracted an earlier badertion that the new Patriotic Party (NPP) in power was a
taboo in the Volta region.
He said that it was a slip
of language, and is excused.
"NPP, the party belongs
is a taboo in the Volta region? It's a tongue bit; I'm sorry, he says
Parliament's Appointments Committee, in Accra, before which he appeared
for vetting.
Its retraction
following a question from Alhaji Mohammed-Mubarak Muntaka, Member of the Committee
Nominating Committee and Member of Parliament for the Asawase constituency in Ashanti
Region, if it was sticking to a previous statement during the audit that the NPP was
a taboo in the Volta region.
Alhaji Muntaka pointed out
Mr. Michael Yaw Jato, Member of Parliament for Krachi East, Volta Region, is in the process of
Parliament on the ticket of the nuclear power station.
Following the retraction
and excuses, Alhaji Muntaka explained that the presence of the nuclear power plant is recognized
in the Volta region and won about 100,000 votes in the last elections.
Similarly, he represents
residents of the Asawase district of the Ashanti region, where the nuclear power plant is located
more popular than the NDC, but for him, the Ashanti region is a fortress of
the NDC, and for that he had asked his party to work to improve its
electoral gains in the Ashanti region.
Alhaji Muntaka urged
politicians be aware of making statements that unite the people rather
than to divide them.
The nominee identified
some resources available in the region such as salt, timber and Lake Volta, and
stated that he would consult his minister and would call on other stakeholders to
see how to best increase salt production and tap more into the other
Resources.
When the candidate was
asked why, after studying Masonry, he left this calling, his answer sent at once
committee members and observers moved to laugh, which made Alhaji
Muntaka asked him not to talk bad about the vocation because a number of artisans
and traders from the Volta region have been recognized for their quality work.
Mr. Avuletey said that he
had to leave because masonry was creating major problems in old age.
"I did not leave
masonry. If you do masonry, you will arrive at a time when you will not be able to do it.
It takes a lot of work, and if your strength does not support you, you
have to go.
"I saw the end of
many masons and I decided to leave; if you are not smart, you will have the size
problems, "said Mr. Avuletey, who laughed at the reading room.
Alhaji Muntaka however
disagreed with Mr. Avuletey's request, and stated that his explanation would be
a lot of work track.
In addition, artisan
jobs are rather changing among compatriots from Togo and Benin, Alhaji Muntaka
observed, adding, "I'll be happy if he abandons this waistline problem."
