Current Affairs Coordinator at Global Media Alliance Broadcasting Company, Isaac Addae disclosed that the initiative is to involve the local community and also give them the opportunity to share the issues affecting them on radio.
“Happy on Wheels is a community based program where we encourage people to participate in community based discussions or conversations and then to a very large extent national issues because if you want to build a nation you would have to start from your community all the way to the country that is the national issue we are talking about so everybody is entreated to come. This time around we are going to the Madina constituency where we have Sosu as the NDC Parliamentary Candidate who is also an incumbent Member of Parliament. And then from the side of the NPP we have Mr. Robert Lamptey as their parliamentary candidate .These are not the only people we are engaging, we have the MCE and some Assembly members as well so we encourage people to come out in their numbers and then be part of this conversation” he said.
“It would help us shape the community and to a large extent the country. We are bringing the microphone to them therefore we encourage them to be very outspoken and the little contribution they make will help us know exact issues they are confronted with. Come and let us engage with the leaders in your community to know their missions and plans they have for you as leaders in your community. This is an opportunity for you to make the right decision in voting for people to lead you” he added
