Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central in the Upper East Region, Isaac Adongo, has expressed disappointment in the media for believing certain assertions concocted by then opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) to create disaffection for the then John Mahama led government.

He says it is never true that guinea fowls which were being reared under the Savanna Accelerated Development Authority (SADA) flew to Burkina Faso as propagated by the NPP in 2014.

Speaking with Captain Smart on Onua TV’s morning show, Maakye, Thursday, March 21, 2024, he said “you don’t just believe the frog when it comes out of the water to tell you the crocodile is dead. For all you know it ran from a feud between the two.”

“The guinea fowl story was concocted by someone to disgrace Mahama, but you journalists believed without making any probe.  It is the same way you believed the donkeys carrying fertilizer story. You didn’t ask the Minister of Agric why he lied about the donkey,” disturbed Adongo told Captain Smart in Twi.

Meanwhile, then Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Savannah Accelerated Development Authority (SADA), Charles Abugri, in September 2015, revealed that the guinea fowls that reportedly flew to neighboring Burkina Faso in that infamous SADA-guinea fowl project scandal have started returning home.

Management of SADA in 2014 made hilarious media headlines when they disclosed in one of their responses to the whereabouts of the hundreds of guinea fowls they claimed to be rearing that the birds had flown to Burkina Faso.

The Management at the time struggled to explain the whereabouts of the rest of the birds to the extent it was revealed they may have flown to an unknown destination in neighbouring Burkina Faso.

But presenting SADA’s development plan at the National Development Planning Commission public consultative forum in Tamale, Mr. Abugri assured Ghanaians that the guinea fowls have started returning home.

“I can announce that those guinea fowls are on their way back from Burkina because I ate a few in Bolgatanga a few days ago,” he disclosed.

The CEO indicated that the law that created SADA is not only centered on guinea fowls but other projects to inure to the benefit of the people within the SADA zone.
