NDC MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT FOR AMENFI WEST CONDTITUENCY BOYCOTTS ANOTHER PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT

Hon. Eric Afful

The incumbent Member of Parliament for Amenfi West Constituency in the Western Region has once again taken to his heels in a recently organized public engagement under the auspices of the National Commission on Civic Education (NCCE).

In about less than two weeks to the polls, the NCCE in the spirit of their mandate, deemed it necessary to create the platform for all the political parties who have filed for this year's elections in the Constituency to espouse their vision to the electorates. Our sources from the organizers indicated that there were prior notices given to all the Parliamentary Candidates. However, the NDC candidate failed to appear.

The program which was organized on Sunday 21st November witnessed the attendance of the Ghana Union Movement (GUM) Candidate Mr. Stephen Nobi, New Patriotic Party Candidate Hon. Abraham Kofi Asante. The visibly disappointed constituents openly expressed their reservations as to why the sitting MP could blatantly disrespect them in a surreptitious manner.

Some constituents the news team interacted with opined that the MP has nothing up his sleeves and others say he boycotted out of fear. It has been trumpeted across the Constituency how vociferous the MP is and so his boycott of last Sunday's engagement still remains a mystery and all attempts made by the news team to get to the NDC MP has proven futile.

Public engagements such as this is very healthy for the development of good governance and accountability as key tenets of our democracy. It is therefore unfathomable as to why a sitting Member of Parliament will fail to take advantage of the platform created by such a credible state institution like the NCCE.

The Amenfi West Constituency is one of the keenly contested seats in this year's elections with the incumbent MP Hon. Eric Afful seeking re-election and a dynamic veteran Hon. Abraham Kofi Asante staging a strong comeback on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP). Amenfi West is definitely a place to watch.

How could you fall for a lady with such long fingers nails? – Kennedy Agyapong to Kan Dapaah

How could you fall for a lady with such long fingers nails? – Kennedy Agyapong to Kan Dapaah Member of Parliament of Assin Central Kennedy Agyapong is of the view that Albert Kan Dapaah should not be crucified over the amorous video with a lady identified as Chantelle Kujawu but is wondering how the National Security minister could fall for a lady with long and scary finger nails. The legislator making a submission on Oman FM indicated that he is “not clean”, neither is any man, hence will be unfair and hypocritical to castigate his fellow man for engaging in such an act. “Let the clean cast the stone,” he said but hilariously questioned why Mr. Kan Dapaah could not fall for something better. “I looked at the lady’s finger nails and wondered ‘what could National Security minister be doing with such finger nails?’” Like Member of Parliament for Ningo Prampram Samuel Nartey George and satirist Kwame A Plus, Mr. Agyapong suggested that the incident was orchestr...
