SOCIAL:  Ghanaians urged resurrecting the spirit of communal labour in our communities

The Assembly member for Bibiani Hwenampori electoral area, Mr. Eric Antwi Bosiako, had urged all Ghanaians to consider engaging in communal labor to ensure rapid growth and development in our communities.

One of the tools in the toolbox for developing a country is the power of communal labour, which cannot be neglected in this 21st century.

Communal labour can effectively solve a community’s challenges by the individuals without relying on the shoulders of the government.

“The government has been given the power to lead us and solve the challenges and problems in the country by demanding on them to fix most of the problems in the country, sometimes yield no better results, hence there is a need for us to be proactive in solving our problems,” Mr Bosiako noted.

Until we the citizens support the government in the nation-building agenda by contributing our quota towards the realization of the government’s goal,

there is no way all the numerous problems in our communities can be fixed, they both said.

He disclosed this in an interview with the media during a communal labour at Bibiani Praga to cover a septic tank build by Hon Alfred Obeng Boateng MP for Bibiani Anhwiaso Bekwai Constituency to convert their old toilet facility to a Morden type.

Development, Mr Bosiako emphasized, remained a shared and collective responsibility, saying local communities that initiate self-help development projects attracted the support of non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and development partners.

Bibiani Praga residents who participated in the communal labour added that Hon Alfred Obeng Boateng can’t stretch his hands to fix all the challenges and problems in the Constituency. Without the support of citizens, the system cannot work.

Goneare the days we see people in certain communities coming together to fix the needs and wants by themselves without calling upon the government for support.

“If our communities are unhygienic, we should not sit aloof for the government to come and sanitize them. Note that before the government turns its eyes to us, malaria and cho.

They use the opportunity to thank MP for renovating the sanitary facility, bridge and fixing their road network.
