The Ghana National Fire Service have also not been left out as a new office complex is being constructed for them," the Effutu legislator said.

The MP urged constituents to also make the right choice going into the 2024 elections by endorsing him for victory 2024.

He intimated that voting for another party in the 2024 elections will spell doom for the people of the constituency adding that a blueprint has been set aside for the journey to make Effutu great.

"There is no way I am going to turn my back on you. I will work hard to create equal opportunities for the youth of Effutu.I will make sure that the youth of Effutu get their share of all job placement in the public space so those of you who are dreaming to have a career in public service will see those dream materialise. We have a superior idea of where we want to take Effutu to without descrimination"Afenyo Markin said.

The MP prides himself on bringing the much needed development to the people of Effutu.

"I remember when I wanted to serve the people of Effutu. People said I was too young to serve but I started as an assemblyman for eight years, four years as a presiding member and thereafter I got the privilege to enter into the national assembly and finally became an MP. I heard your cry for development, I heard your cry for transformation and these are the things that inspired me to dream for a better day for Effutu," Afenyo Markin said.

"I want to urge the children in this constituency to make good use of the libraries scattered across Effutu. I didn't come from a rich background but hard work has brought me this far and this is what I want to urge the children of Effutu to do" Afenyo Markin said while commissioning a library project in Effutu.
