Alhaji Alhassan Mumuni, the MP for Salaga North in the Savannah Region, has restated his dedication. He is focused on making girls’ education a top priority in his constituency. He said he is a feminist. He emphasized the importance of breaking barriers. These barriers prevent young girls from receiving quality education.
During an interview with The Ghanaian Times, he shared insights from his time as an MP. He worked with another member of Parliament to establish the KM Model Girls’ Junior High School. Their goal was to enhance girls’ access to education. He noted that while the initial number of female students was seven, the current enrollment surpassed 100.
To aid students from far-off communities, he mentioned supplying them with bicycles to make their daily journeys more manageable. He also expressed plans to broaden the school into a senior high institution.
Alhaji Mumuni regained his seat in Parliament after a loss in the 8th Parliament. He asserted his determination to pursue important educational and infrastructural initiatives. These initiatives had been neglected during the previous four years.
He committed to ensuring that all primary schools in his district had at least a three-unit classroom block. This effort was to enhance the learning environment.
He promised to set up a fund to support underprivileged but talented students. He will gather the necessary resources to ensure its effectiveness.
He expressed disappointment over the constituency’s lack of a senior high school. He promised to revive an unfinished E-Block project that began in 2016 but was not completed by the previous administration.
The MP further mentioned that the contractor’s departure from the site has left the community without access to secondary education.
In addition to education, Alhaji Mumuni emphasised the importance of enhancing road infrastructure in his constituency.
He recognised the hardships that residents encountered due to substandard roads. He promised to advocate for substantial improvements in this area.
Regarding healthcare, he promised to finish unfinished projects and enhance the delivery of medical services. He showed faith in President John Dramani Mahama’s guidance, highlighting his knack for making resolute decisions that benefit the people.
Alhaji Mumuni, a grassroots politician, shared that he became a member of Parliament during the Sixth Parliament. He served as the inaugural MP for the Salaga North Constituency. He mentioned his previous role as a District Chief Executive (DCE), where he led various developmental projects.
He stated that his loss in the prior parliamentary polls gave him time to think. He was able to plan how to fulfill the needs of his constituents.
According to him, the residents of Salaga North view him as a liberator. He has brought about significant progress during his tenure as DCE and MP. And now, after four years with a different leader, they have given him another chance to continue his work.
With his renewed drive, he committed to tirelessly improving the lives of his constituency and supporting the Mahama-led government’s achievements.
