He also assured them that their request for a nursing training has been approved and would be built for them.
“Nana, what you are also concerned about is nursing training college, the most happy issue now is that the nursing training college has been approved,” Bawumia stated.

“For former President Mahama, he didn’t do anything for the people of Kumawu. When you vote for him, he is going he will not come here again, he will not come and account. As for me, when you vote for me, I can be a President for eight years and after four years, I will come here and account, he stated.
“We are coming to put up a nursing training college for you, we are coming to fix your roads for you and we are coming to give you a municipality status. When I come, I will render account on all of the things to show you the work we have done and so give the steer to me,” he added.
