Abesim, (Bono), Dec. 6, GNA – Mr Alfred Tuah-Yeboah, the Deputy Attorney General and Minister of Justice has advised the electorates to vote for Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and the various Parliamentary Candidates of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on December 7.
He cautioned that ‘skirt and blouse’ voting undermined parliamentary processes, impeded, and frustrated government business and thereby slowed down rapid socio-economic development.
“We must take a cue from what is happening in parliament. The NPP has 138 seats and the NDC 137 seats and the situation is seriously slowing down government business”, the Deputy Minister stated when speaking at the inauguration of a newly constructed market at Abesim, near Sunyani.
The Sunyani Municipal Assembly with some funding from Mr Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh, the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) for Sunyani East constituency constructed the market which contained 18 open sheds, 13 stores, washrooms and an office.
Describing the presidential election as a ‘done deal’ for the NPP, Mr Tuah-Yeboah said “government business will be difficult for Alhaji Dr Bawumia if the NPP fails to win a majority of the parliamentary seats”.
He commended the Sunyani East MP for his passion for and to bring the development of the constituency to the next level and urged the electorates to retain him as their MP on December 7.
Besides Abesim and its adjoining communities, Mr Ameyaw-Cheremeh indicated all the local communities in the constituency had in one way or the other equally benefited from development projects ranging from educational and health facilities, better roads, electricity extension, and potable drinking water.
He said the construction of the Abesim Nsasananim Bridge as well as on-going works on the construction of artificial pitch and a durbar ground in the town would help alleviate the plight of the people.
The MP therefore urged the electorates there to vote for him and Alhaji Dr Bawumia so that those projects would be completed as scheduled.
Mr John Ansu Kumi, the Sunyani Municipal Chief Executive noted that the MP had played an instrumental role in facilitating the development of the municipality and urged the electorates to endorse him.
“With Alhaji Dr Bawumia and Mr Ameyaw-Cheremeh, the assembly will be able to tackle the development shortfall in the municipality,” he stated.
