Youth of Awutu defend George Andah

MP and Deputy Communications Minister, George Andah MP and Deputy Communications Minister, George Andah

Concerned Youth of Awutu Senya West in the Central Region have mounted a defence of their Member of Parliament, George Andah.

The move follows the fall-outs of a research carried out by researchers of the University of Ghana on Parliament that scored the MP and Deputy Communications Minister, George Andah, low marks.

Immediately after the research report, a group at Awutu called Patriots of Awutu issued a release calling on the MP to resign because he had brought disgrace to the constituency by performing poorly in the research.

The youth in a press release, signed by its President, Ellis Onomah Botchwey, explain the research might not have been accurately done because their MP has demonstrated his dedication and commitment to the constituency through Infrastructural and Human Capacity Development.

They are thus calling on the constituents and the nation to disregard the call by the ‘Patriots of Awutu’ calling on the MP to resign.

“We therefore urge the General Public to ignore such publications meant to undermine the hard work of Honorable Nenyi George Andah and his Excellency Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo,” the stated.

The group further intimates, it will be a mistake for the electorates of Awutu Senya West Constituency to forgo the Award-winning and most influential Member of Parliament (2018) because of the research. “He is our pride, we cherish them, we adore them, our greatest assets, hence our unflinching support for their 2020 Bid for a Second Term,” the state.
