The Member of Parliament (MP) for Akatsi-North, Mr Nortsu Kotoe, has assured residents in the constituency of his continuous investment in human capital development through education to help improve on the living standards.
He said he had being sponsoring some people with the requisite qualifications to the university since he became MP for the area, and would not relent in this effort which aimed at reducing poverty among the people.
Speaking in an interview with The Ghanaian Times at Ave-Dakpa in the Akatsi-North Constituency, Mr Kotoe thanked the electorates for the confidence reposed in him, and stressed that the mandate given him would enable him to continue with the development agenda of transforming the lives of the residents.
According to him, the four-year term granted him would solidify the objective of sponsoring one person in a family to the university to enable them establish themselves and lift up the standard of living of the family as well as reduce poverty.
The Akatsi-North MP, who is also the Minority Spokesperson on Education, said he had already supported a number of the youth in skills training, who had established themselves and were contributing meaningfully towards local economic growth.
He also stressed that as part of the four-year development agenda, he would ensure that the abandoned road network from Ave-Dakpa-Akatsi, Afiadenyigba-Korve-Agormor-Akatsi would be re-constructed to pave the way for free movement of goods and services in the area.
Mr Kotoe said the expectations of the people were genuinely high that was why they voted massively for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to bring the needed development to them and said the in-coming government would largely live up to the expectations of the people.
In a related development, the MP for Ho-West, Mr Emmanuel Kwasi Bedzrah, has also outlined his four years development agenda for the next four years, which were provision of educational infrastructure and road re-construction.
He stated that his attention and priority projects would see the re-construction of Abutia -Juapong road, Kpedze-Dodome road, Bame-Anyrawase road, Fume-Gbadzeme road and Kpoeta-Adorpe roads to open up the area.
The Ho-West MP continued that the provision of quality education could only be achieved with adequate school infrastructure, and announced that he would provide classrooms for Kpedze Junior High School (JHS), Avatime JHS, Dzolo Senior High School (SHS) and Anfoeta Technical Institute to promote quality education in the area.
Mr Bedzrah also stressed that he would establish Farmers Service Centre (FSC) to enable farmers to easily have access to farm implements to enable them to expand their farms, establish “green gold palm plantation”, and a factory to extract palm-oil.
