He said that he has not written any letter to the party informing them of his intention to step down as an MP.

“I have not written any letter to the party that I want to resign. I have not even written one letter, let alone the two being reported.

“I went to parliament on Friday. I have not sent a letter anywhere. Whom did they say I sent the letter to?” he asked in Twi.

Kojo Kum also refuted assertions that no developmental projects are going on in his constituency.
