NDC is in power to build, not to destroy – Mills

President John Evans Atta Mills on Thursday asked Ghanaians to keep faith with the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and retain it in power to continue to build on what it has achieved.

He reiterated that the NDC is in power to build and never to destroy.

President Mills said the party would use the national resources to improve the living standards of the people and to ensure a Better Ghana.

President Mills was speaking at the end of a three-day tour of the Greater Accra Region, during which he inaugurated and inspected a number of development projects.

He asked Ghanaians to appreciate the achievements of Government, within the past two years and make an informed choice by voting the NDC when they go to the polls next year.

During the three days tour a milling crowd gave the President a rousing welcome with a fanfare of drumming and dancing and tooting of horns.

Some of them indicated their support for President to win the 2012 polls and lead the nation for a second four-year term.

President Mills inaugurated an ultra modern storey building complex, for the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA), at Ridge in Accra, and called on the management and staff of the Authority to handle the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) to meet the health needs of the people.

He stressed good quality medical care delivery as one of the ideals of the Government, and noted that NHIS was one of the vehicles that would deliver good quality health to the people.

President Mills said there was the need for prudent management of the scheme and that reported cases of corruption that had characterised the scheme must be a thing of the past.
