Deputy Minister explains causes of hardships to electorate

Gomoa Obiri (C/R), Aug 25, GNA - The Member of Parliament for Gomoa West, Mrs Ama Benyinwa-Doe has appealed to the electorate to bear with the government while it finds ways of solving the present economic hardships.

She made the appeal when she addressed separate durbars at Abamkwaim, Ohua, Brofo, Eshiem, Tekyiman Odumase and Obiri during the celebration of their Akwanbo festivals.

Mrs Benyiwa-Doe, who is a Deputy Minister of Employment and Social Welfare, said the present economic situation is global and urged the electorate not to be deceived by politicians,who claim they could turn the economy round if they were voted into power.

They should dismiss those, who are advocating for a change of government on account of the difficulties. The Deputy Minister said a change of government would reverse the giant strides made in development and would spell the doom of the country.

Giving account of her stewardship, Mrs Benyiwa-Doe said was instrumental in getting 15 communities connected to the national electricity grid and rehabilitation of a number of roads in the area.

Eight new school buildings were constructed and 12 old ones rehabilitated. She said many communities in the constituency were given allocations of cement and roofing sheets for their self-help projects.

The Deputy Minister commissioned a KVIP at Obiri and paid courtesy calls on chiefs and elders of Ajumakoansa, Brebiano Kyiren and Adaa.
