Decision/Action After Fundraising In Aid of Madam Sayeba Haruna of blessed Memory
Condition: Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis / Stevens Johnson Syndrome.
(For more explanation,contact the doctors & health practitioners)
Most kind regards and God richly bless you for your generosity towards this campaign.
After collating your views presented through the various social media platforms and in consultation with the family of our beloved sister,Madam Sayeba of blessed memory;the following roadmap has been drawn and some actions have since commenced in earnest to utilise the remaining balance:
NB.You can follow the link ( https://ananpansah-ab.blogspot.com/2020/01/final-accounts-of-fundraising-in-aid-of.html) to read the final accounts.Madam Haruna Sayeba also survived with five children;three girls' and two boys all in their early ages with the elders son being 16 years.
1.The elders son who completed J.H.S,but couldn't proceed has expressed interest in learning a trade. (He has chosen to learn GLASS FABRICATING as a trade).To this end,enquiries have been made from the only glass fabricater in Damongo township to enroll the boy.
The terms and conditions include acquiring for him the necessary working tools.
We are hopeful of completing the process of his registration and enrollment within this week by His eminent grace.
2. Trust Accounts are to be opened in the name of each surviving child and accessible to them at the time of entering into Senior High School through to Tertiary. (Eg.Say one of the children is in primary 6 now,it would have meant that in 4 years time,he/she would've been ready to enroll into SHS all things being equal.The fund can then be accessed as support package).
This process Should have been completed by now,but we faced challenges in getting the birth certificates of these children,which according to the bank is the only mandatory document, since, they are all termed "minors".
We just got confirmation that,they have been able to trace the birth certificate of one of children and the Child Welfare Clinic cards(weighing cards) of the rest of them.We hope the weighing cards will be accepted as valid documents, since they contain every detail about the children,including the date of birth.
We will be going to the bank again on Monday with the documents available to further the process.
NB.School here may not be limited to grammar type of education.It could also mean vocational/technical education or learning a trade depending on the interest and capabilites of the child after J.H.S education.
3.Our attention has been drawn to some development -- the biological father of late Haruna Sayeba has been sick for sometime now and on drugs,but his condition has been worsened by the doleful situation of her daughter's sickness through to her untimely death.
Compatriots, what do you suggest we should do?
Most kind regards and God richly bless you for your generosity towards this campaign.
Rest in peace to our dear sister! You fought well .You've United many voices across the length and breath of the globe and increased in us the genuine spirit of compassion for humanity and benevolence.

Savannah youth protest against decision to disperse regional departments
The youth of the newly created Savannah Region under the auspices of the Damongo Youth Parliament took to the streets of the regional capital to register their displeasure over the decision by the government to disperse the regional departments of the Savannah Regional Coordinating Council.
Presenting the petition to the Savannah Regional Minister, Adam Salifu Braimah, the speaker of the Damongo Youth Parliament who doubles as the assembly member for the Canteen electoral area, Ananpansah B. Abraham emphasized that for easy coordination and effective/efficient administration, the coordinating departments should be located in Damongo the regional capital.
The youth in the petition to President Nana Akuffo Addo stated that developing Damongo as the pride of Gonjaland like Tamale, Kumasi, Accra, Koforidua etc does not take away anything from the other districts in the region.
These Regional capitals according to the petition to the President by the youth gained the prominence they have today as a result of the concentration of regional departments which propelled growing population with the population attracting investors who will want to take advantage of the numbers to invest in the region.
The mentioned also in the petition that the disadvantages of decentralizing of the departments far outweigh the advantages especially in the Savannah Region with its dispersed settlements.
The emphasized further that the various regional departments are only to serve as coordinating agencies, thus, coordinating the development within the region and dispersing these coordinating agencies of the Regional Coordinating Council will increase the cost of administration as the departments will have to communicate and share relevant documents, resources and information on a regular basis.
They are again craving for more districts in the newly created Savannah Region together with resourcing the existing ones to take charge of development by way of practical decentralization and went ahead to find out the criteria that was used by the Savanah Regional Coordinating Council to determine how the Regional Agricultural Office is best fit to be sited at Bole, the Regional Health Directorate sited in Daboya and Feeder Roads in Salaga.
The group further demanded better involvement and participation of the people before arriving at any decision the concerns them.
The youth therefore in the petition to the President believes that the decentralised departments are just structures responsible for coordinating the development and constitutes not development in themselves.
Clouded in red and holding placards with the inscription ” Regional Capital Without Coordinating Departments Is Meaningless”, ”Mr President This Is Not The Region The Yagbonwura Asked For” etc.
Receiving the petition, Savannah Regional Minister Hon. Adam Salifu Braimah thanked the youth for the peaceful conduct in presenting the petition to him for onward submission to the President of Ghana.
He assured them that as the representative of the President in the region, he will present the petition to President Nana Addo but was quick to remind them that the decentralization of the coordinating offices to the various districts is not limited to the Savannah Region but a policy that cuts across all the newly created regions.
The youth chief of Damongo, Nyiribiwura Yakubu Jaga who was with the youth during the presentation said he was very happy about the turnout and will forever be grateful to the leadership of the Damongo Youth Parliament for helping push this beautiful agenda of concentrating the departments in the regional capital since that will enhance development instead of the scattering of the offices.

Savannah Region: disgruntled youth demonstrate against decentralisation of departments
Savannah Region: disgruntled youth demonstrate against decentralisation of departments
Story By Dave Alamisi/Ghanareports On Feb 8, 2020
Hundreds of youth took to the principal streets of Damongo, the capital of the Savannah Region to kick against attempts at decentralisation in the region.
The march, led by the Damongo Youth Parliament (DYP), was to compel the government to situate all departments of the Regional Coordinating Council in Damongo to spur development in the capital.
The group,in a petition to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, presented by the Secretary/speaker of the parliament who doubles as the Assembly Man for Canteen Electoral Area,hon.Ananpansah B Abraham,to the Savannah Regional Minister,Adam Salifu Braimah, spelt out the gains of concentrating the offices in Damongo.
Describing the action by government as “regrettable”, the group disclosed that in an interview with PAD FM on 1st October 2019, after a closed-door meeting with the Regional Minister, the Registrar of the Gonja Traditional Council, Mr Abutu Kapori, disclosed that, it will be a betrayal of trust if Yagbonwura accepts a region with such dispersed departments.
According to him, the Overlord has directed the minister to relay to government that he has not accepted and will not accept an arrangement to decentralise departments”.
The march was triggered by the subtle disclosure by the Savannah Regional Minister, in a speech read on his behalf at the recently held Savannah Star Awards that, the various Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Chief Executives (MMDCEs) in the region have been tasked to allocate pieces of lands in their districts for the construction of the various Regional Departments as advertised by government.
“Meaning, he intends to go ahead with the decentralisation policy, despite clear instructions from the chief petitioner against such a decision,” the group lamented.
They argued that developing Damongo like what has been witnessed in Tamale, Kumasi, Accra and Koforidua “does not take away anything from the other districts in the region”.
The group is of the view that the listed regional capitals gained prominence as a result of the concentration of regional departments which propelled a growing population.
“Such a dense population easily attracts investors who will want to take advantage of the numbers to do investments. We are already picking information that potential investors are being scared away from our region because of the unpalatable decision to decentralize since it will not make investment sense to put so much into a town that cannot attract traffic and the numbers needed to drive business”.
However, what they want in the other towns are scattered higher institutions of learning, factories, better road networks, markets, district hospitals and Community-based Health Planning and Services (CHPS) compounds.
They concluded that “the decision to decentralize is not in consonance with the popular will and wishes of the people”.
Dressed in red attire, amidst drumming and chanting of songs, the protestors marched along the main roads. Some of them carried placards which read: “Regional capital without coordinating departments is meaningless”, ”Mr President, this is not the region the Yagbonwura asked for”,” Respect the authority of the Yagbonwura: Site all departments at Damongo”.
