Former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, has reiterated his commitment to rewarding the loyalty and hardwork of party members by spreading appointments in his future government to all levels of the party across the country.<\/p>\n

Speaking to NPP party members during his presidential primaries campaign tour of the Ashanti Region on Friday, Dr. Bawumia said a President could make about 7000 appointments at the international, national, regional and district levels, if elected President, he would decentralise appointments to his government, by evenly spreading about one third of his appointments to every constituency.<\/p>\n

In this regard, Dr. Bawumia said his proposal would be to give each of the 276 constituencies a minimum of 10 appointments in his government, which means that bigger constituencies can even get more.<\/p>\n

Under this policy, Dr. Bawumia explained, all 275 constituencies in Ghana will have the opportunity to have a representative on various government boards, agencies, among many others.<\/p>\n

Dr. Bawumia, prior to his election as the NPP\u2019s flagbearer in 2023, came up with this policy, which he said he would implement if he won the 2024 election to reward loyalty and hardwork by party faithful. And following the NPP\u2019s Mike Oquaye investigative committee report, which cited neglect of party members at the grassroot level, among reasons the NPP lost the 2024 elections, Dr. Bawumia said he\u2019s even more committed to his vision of grassroot appointments.<\/p>\n

\u201cParty members have been saying, and this is captured in the Mike Oquaye report that when the party is voted into power to form a government, they are often left out
in the processes of governance. That is why I came up with this policy, which I hoped to implement if I won,\u201d Dr. Bawumia said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m more than ever committed to implementing this, to spread the appointments to every level, including the grassroot levels within each of the 276 Constituency across the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe the loyalty and hardwork of our members must be rewarded and we have duly qualified men and women in every constituency which we must give opportunities to, so that they can in turn, also give opportunities to many of our members and Ghanaians in general at the local levels.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMany constituencies are often neglected, but I strongly believe that guaranteeing each constituency a minimum of 10 appointments is the surest way of ensuring our grassroot members are also recognised,\u201d added the former Vice President.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
