He expressed disappointment at the current state of development in these regions.<\/p>\n

Mr Mahama has therefore promised to prioritize the development of the new regions if elected.<\/p>\n

He made the pledge during a meeting with traditional authorities at the Jakpa Palace over the weekend. He stressed on his disappointment in the government\u2019s decision to discontinue the Damongo Water Project.<\/p>\n

\u201cBefore we left office, we took a loan agreement to Parliament to create a water supply project for Damongo. Our friends opposite opposed it. For 8 years now, the people of Damongo are thirsty. They don\u2019t have water to drink,\u201d he lamented.<\/p>\n

The former President underscored the importance of development in the newly established regions.<\/p>\n

In a speech read on his behalf, Yagbonwura, Bii-Kunuta Jewu Soale I, admonished the former President to address underdevelopment, poverty and unemployment among the youth in the area.<\/p>\n
