DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WILL BE DISTRIBUTED FAIRLY (PAGE 20)

THE Sissala West District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Salifu Baluwie, has given the assurance that he will ensure an equitable distribution of development projects in the district for every community to get its fair share of the national cake.
He has, therefore, appealed to the traditional authorities in the area to co-operate with the government in the realisation of that objective.
Mr Baluwie, who was speaking in an interview at Gwollu, said even though the district was not well endowed in terms of natural resources, the government would not turn its back to it.
He, however, denied allegations by some traditional leaders in the district that the area was being discriminated against, with respect to the distribution of development projects.
“We must all feel proud to be part of the district and work to develop it,” he said.
Commenting on the attitude of some heads of departments in the district, the DCE asked them to be innovative and come out with pragmatic initiatives that would propel the development agenda of the district.
“The district cannot move away from its current underdevelopment if we are united in implementing our development plan,” Mr Baluwie stressed.
He further called on workers in the district to work extra harder, especially in the area of revenue generation, stressing, “You must form a task force to ensure accountability and prudent use of resources.”
