THE Member of Parliament for the Akan Constituency in the Volta Region, Mr Joseph Kwadwo Ofori, has said politics is not a show of indifference by only going to the electorate to solicit their votes with monies when election is near.
“The electorate now are wide awake and cannot be lured by money-sharing politicians who fail to give them any development projects,” he stated.
He noted that the ‘Better Ghana Agenda’ was not meant to distribute money to the people but to provide social amenities and infrastructure to improve their lots.
Mr Ofori stated this when he inaugurated three basic school blocks he was supporting with his share of the GETFund in the Kadjebi District.
The three schools are Kadjebi Evangelical Presbyterian Primary, Pampawie Roman Catholic Primary and Asato Roman Catholic Primary schools.
Mr Ofori said he had also rehabilitated the Amanta Community Clinic at Pampawie, the Dodo Amanfrom Health Centre and the Kadjebi District Health Administration block to the tune of GH¢73,000.00.
Apart from these, the MP said, he had sponsored 100 students to the tertiary level, connected electricity to the Mempeasem Clinic and provided laptops and accessories to the National Health Insurance Secretariat at Kadjebi.
Mr Ofori said he had also lobbied Mr Joe Gidisu, the Minister of Roads and Highways, to build a steel bridge over River Asukwakwa to link Dodofie to Dodo Amanfrom, since the two towns get cut off during the rainy season.
Ms Malwine Asamoah, the Headmistress of Kadjebi EP Primary School, expressed her profound gratitude to Mr Ofori for coming to their aid and called for government assistance to rehabilitate the main school block which was now a death trap.
Ms Asamoah said apart from the weak walls and leaking roofs, the school block, which was constructed in 1947, did not have any furniture.
