The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Effia Kwesimintsim Constituency in the Western Region, Mr Joe Baidoe-Ansah, has been commended by a section of his constituents for his contributions to the development of the area.
The MP, according to the constituents, has done enough to warrant his endorsement and expressed the hope that though the vetting had been put on hold, he would sail through.
Mr K. Freeman, a constituent told the Daily Graphic that some roads in the constituency that were not motorable had been put in good shape through the MP’s efforts.
He said a number of schools, a computer centre and a town hall to be used for social gatherings had also been provided for the constituency through the MP’s eforts.
Mr Freeman commended the MP for winning the trust of the presidency and ultimately serving in many capacities.
Another constituent, Mr Don A. Muniru Kweku, said it was rather sad that majority of the constituents would be affected by the decisions of the few executive members, who have the power to vote for an aspirant MP, and called on them to consider his achievements.
He said the problems that were bedevilling the constituency were not the issue of who would perform well, but the attitude of the people, especially the executive members, who were now divided into factions.
“We want all the processes and the dealings of the party at the constituency levels to be transparent and democratic; That is why even though there are sitting MPs in some of the constituencies, it was made possible for others to come and compete. But this does not warrant other aspirants and those who represent their interest to run their opponents down,” he said
Mr Muniru Kweku said that “we have a common focus, that is, to serve the people of Ghana and to preserve the good name of the party for generations unborn.
The constituency chairman said even though the role of MPs was to lobby for development, the incumbent had personally invested in the lives of the people and social infrastructure that the constituency hitherto lacked.
He used the opportunity to call on the people to be circumspect in their utterances.
He said that they should not forget that much as they had the liberty to campaign, they must not conduct themselves in a manner that would undermine the supreme interest of the party.
