According to the local governance expert, zongos are part of the country hence there is no need for the fund to be created.

Addressing Muslim chiefs and opinion leaders in the Brong Ahafo Region in the company of the Chief of Staff, Prof. Ahwoi explained that when the government takes a decision to extend power to a community, it does not extend it to only Christians but to everyone living in the community.

"We all use the road, we all use the water provided by the government. So what is the purpose of the zongo development fund?" he asked.

According to him, government funds should be distributed to all and not shared in the way and manner the NPP plans to do.

The NPP pledged to establish the fund to "help regenerate and review our zongos."

The fund, according to the party, will be used to invest  in education and training and development within the zongos targeting health, sanitation, local businesses and culture and art.

The plan to establish a zongo development fund has come under sustained attack from the National Democratic.

Last week, a ground with ties to the party, Zongo for NDC, described the promise as "Sakawa" which is not feasible, unattainable and unachievable.

The attack on the NPP's zongo development fund comes after the groups top communicator, Awal Mohammed, defected to the NPP because the NDC manifesto was silent on what it will do for the zongo community.

In his defection speech, Awal Mohammed said: "As a Zongo boy I felt we have been given a raw deal. Again, as a young man I believe that NDC as a party has failed in curbing the massive unemployment which has resulted in unprecedented hardship, job losses is on the rise and our economy is in disarray."

According to him, Ghana needs a leader in the person of Nana Addo ably assisted by Alhaji Dr Mahamadu Bawumia to give the nation a better leadership.
