In a recent development, Hajia Zuwera Ibrahim, Member of Parliament for Salaga South Constituency in the Savannah Region, has come under scrutiny for allegedly spreading false information regarding the District Roads Improvement Programme (DRIP). During an event in the presence of the Klaw Wura, a revered Paramount Chief, Hajia Zuwera claimed that the DRIP initiative, aimed at improving district roads, was funded by Members of Parliament through their Common Fund.

This statement, however, has been denounced as false, with accusations that the program is actually a government-led initiative under the Nana/Bawumia administration. Despite the outcry and the presence of the traditional leader, Hajia Zuwera did not retract her statements, leading to widespread criticism.

The issue raises concerns about the integrity of political discourse in Ghana. The contrast between what is perceived as the NPP's "bold solutions" and the NDC's alleged "bold lies" has sparked debate, especially as the 2024 elections approach. The article calls on Ghanaians to reject such falsehoods and hold politicians accountable for their statements, emphasizing that truth must prevail in the political arena.

The piece further urges the youth and citizens of Salaga South to use their vote to reject what is described as "shameless lies" and to send a clear message that deceit has no place in Ghanaian politics. The upcoming elections are presented as an opportunity to demonstrate that Ghanaians value honesty and will not tolerate the spread of misinformation for political gain.
