The National Nasara wing of the ruling New Patriotic Party (PNP) has described the opposition’s commitment from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to facilitate the establishment of morgues in Zongo communities as “haram” (prohibited).
This comes after NDC standard-bearer John Dramani Mahama, in an interview on online television, acknowledged Muslims’ concerns about how traditional morgues treat a deceased relative.
And then he outlined a series of interventions his new government will employ to tackle the problem.
However, in reaction to the promise, Nasara coordinator Abdul-Aziz Haruna Futa, in a statement, believed that former President Mahama made a mistake in his promise to the Zongo communities.
According to him, since Islamic traditions prohibit the preservation of the dead for burial at a later date, the promise to build morgues in the Zongo communities is absurd and an insult to all the Zongo people in the country.
“It is a fact that the NDC has never made any overt promises to the people of Zongo, apart from the repeated lies that the PNP will deport them when they gain political power. The presidency of Nana Akuffo-Addo gave more recognition and attention to the many challenges that affect the communities of Zongo ”.
Mr. Haruna Futa also noted that the promise of the NDC leader clearly shows that he has not consulted enough to learn about the real problems faced by people in the Zongo communities.
“This manifesto contains ideas that are archaic and does not address the immediate concerns of Muslims.
“The diverse communities in Zongo are densely populated, so finding a plot of land for any development project is a very serious challenge. There is tremendous pressure on existing schools, hospitals, roads, water, electricity, “he said.
He then scoffed saying: “The NDC ignored all these deadly human-centered challenges and prefers to build more morgues for the custody of bodies in our Muslim communities.
“The NDC has proven to be empty when it comes to preferring innovative alternative solutions to address the challenges of Muslims in the country.”
Mr. Haruna Futa finally asked the residents of Zongo, particularly his youth, to reestablish the nuclear power plant for another term for more massive development.
