Krachi East MP commends government’s effort to clear GHC 78m premix debt

By Kingsley Mamore

Dambai (O/R), April 14, GNA – Mr Nelso Kofi Djabab, the Member of Parliament (MP) for the Krachi East Constituency, has commended the government for addressing the premix fuel supply challenges in the country.

The lawmaker alleged that the failure of the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration to ensure that Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) paid the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) for premix fuel, led to shortages and erratic supply.

Mr Djabab alleged that during the NPP administration, OMCs failed to pay the Tema Oil Refinery Companies, resulting in premix fuel shortages.

He said the NDC government had engaged with OMCs and ensured they start paying the incurred costs and this has led to a stabilisation of premix fuel supply all over the country and Krachi East constituency.

Mr Djabab made these remarks during his thank-you tour of the Constituency to express gratitude to residents, who voted for him and President Mahama in the Election 2024.

The legislator said the NDC government would priorities the construction of a Municipal Hospital for the constituency, citing the current lack of healthcare facilities as a major concern.

He revealed that the NDC government led by President John Dramani Mahama would work to address this issue.

Mr Safo Nketia, the Municipal Chief Executive (MCE) has expressed his gratitude to community members for the warm reception they received during their engagement by community members.

He highlighted the collaborative efforts between himself and the MP to drive development in Krachi East.

Residents of Kpogede, a fishing community in Krachi East, had appealed to the MP to renovate their school and upgrade the Cement-Kpogede-Asizakpe road.

The appeal was made by Ms Ever Jepeh and Madam Mary Tepeakor, along with other community members after engaging with the MP.
