"We Are Tired of NPP promises"- Hon Sebastian Sandaare.

The Member of Parliament for Daffiama-Bussie-Issa constituency has chided the NPP government on its numerous promises.  He bemoaned the unrepentant promising attitude of the NPP government. According to him, what is important is action and not plenty talks as being engaged by the New Patriotic Party.

He said this at this year's annual Daffiama-Bussie-Issa Students' Union General Assembly held at  Issa on the 30th December 2019. The General Assembly, comprising all representatives of Basic Schools in the District, representatives of all Senior High Schools in the country, and representatives of Tertiary Institutions in the country.

This year's program was massively attended with hundreds of students gathered at the Issa Youth Leadership Training Institute. Quiz competition was organized for both Second cycle institutions and Basic Schools. In the Second Cycle Institution Category, Lawra Senior High School emerged first in the quiz competition while Tuori JHS and Daffiama R/C JHS A both emerged first at the Junior High School category.

The Member of Parliament who have been sponsoring the activities of the Union used the platform to assure all students, his commitment to the education of all. He touched on what he has been able to achieve so far in the area of education to include: the establishment of educational fund across the four paramountcies in the countituency, support for students at various levels through the MP common fund, establishment of the teacher incentive package, organization of mock examination for Basic Schools and the supply of examination materials to basic schools final candidates.  He reiterated his commitment to collaborating with  the Daffiama-Bussie-Issa Students' Union to improving the standards of education in the district.

He warned politicians to stop politicising health issues particularly the issue of the only medical doctor in the district which he worked so hard to bring. The issue of the medical doctor has become a political issue as the District Chief Executive of the District continue claim that he brought the doctor to work in the District. The NPP communicators in the district continually claim credit over the medical doctor, making him (the doctor) politically exposed. According to the Member of Parliament, this must stop.

He added that it is time politicians moved from plenty promises and too much talk to action.  "The people want to see action and not plenty and empty promises" he added. The statement is believed to be in response to the NPP  who promised so many things in the constituency and still promising anytime they have the opportunity to interact with the constituents. Many of the promises however, remained unfulfilled.

He appealed to the constituents to continue to support him as he is ready to sacrifice for the development of the constituency.
