The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Volta Region has held its 24-hour economy massive health walk over the weekend.

The constituency-based event was done to talk about the many opportunities and jobs the policy holds, which took place in the Agortime-Ziope constituency.

The district capital Kpetoe, which was the center of action was decorated with the party colours.

It was attended by some bigwigs from the national, regional, constituency and branch executives including the Deputy National Communication Officer of the party, Malik Basintale.

The mammoth event caused vehicular and human traffic on the principal streets of Kpetoe township.

The health walk rekindled the 24-hour economy policy and its advantages to the nation.

The walk also brought about unity, togetherness and euphoria among party faithfuls in the constituency as members and executives from other sister constituencies poured in their numbers to partake in the walk.

The spirited and captivating event drew was also used to draw the attention of the members with regard to the task ahead, setting the stage for youth mobilization ahead of the 2024 general elections.

The Member of Parliament for the Agortime-Ziope Constituency who also serves as a member of the Health Committee of Parliament Mr Charles Agbeve used the platform to remind the President, His Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo-Addo and the Health Minister, Dr. Bernard Okoe Boye to ensure the drugs donated by the Global Fund are cleared from the Tema port for use by Ghanaians.

The MP who addressed the participants after the massive health walk, asserted that he was surprised the 426 containers of the drugs donated were accompanied by $45 million dollars for transport and clearance at the port, but some of the drugs still remained at the port for a year now. He indicated that, whenever an alarm was raised about the issue, some of the containers were released.

This comes almost two weeks after the Ministry of Health released a press statement informing Ghanaians and all stakeholders of the release of funds by the government to clear the rest of the health commodities from the port.

He therefore urged the government to expedite action on the clearance of the health commodities which include; TB medication, Medical devices and equipment, Mosquito Nets and Pharmaceuticals for HIV and other health conditions.

He said it is negligence on the part of the health ministry which should have prioritized such issues.

He added that the health sector is currently the worst-performing sector in the country.

He called on his constituents to retain him in office as the Member of Parliament for the constituency and to also vote for the party's Presidential candidate, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, for better governance and for greater job opportunities the 24 hour economy policy will provide for Ghanaians.
