MUSLIMS IN JASIKAN GRATEFUL TO NDC (PAGE 13, NOV 6, 2010)

A delegation of Muslims in the Jasikan District of the Volta Region has expressed appreciation for the concern shown by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) over the years for their welfare.
The Muslims were particularly happy that apart from what the government was doing for them, Mr Henry Ford Kamel, the Member of Parliament for Buem Constituency, was also on his own contributing his quota.
The Muslims said this when Mr Kamel met party members, Assembly Members and a cross section of the public at Jasikan last week.
The leadership of the communities of Kotokoli and Hausa at Jasikan Zongo, led by Alhaji Ibrahim Adam noted the MP on his own volition was sending five Muslims to Mecca for this year’s Hajj.
Apart from that, Alhaji Adam said Mr Kamel had succeeded in having a Muslim to represent their interest on the Lands Commission and also one as head of the Non-Formal Education Division (NFED) in the district.
He said for his non-partisanship in his approach towards the welfare of the people, especially Muslims, some members who were not members of the NDC had decided to join the party.
Mr Kamel commended the delegation for their show of appreciation towards the NDC government.
He said the President in his role as the father of the nation did not discriminate in his duty to the people.
“And with me as the MP for the constituency, I will not look for membership cards when it comes to my service to you,” Mr Kamel said
The MP said all that he expected of them was unity and peace to ensure a rapid development of the district.
