The Madina Constituency Secretary of the New Patriotic Party, Bosompem has bemoaned the level of retrogression going on in the constituency since the current Member of Parliament Francis-Xavier Kojo Sosu deposed the former NPP MP Boniface Abubakar Saddique.
According to him the previous MP on the ticket of the ruling NPP introduced a lot of development that impacted the welfare of constituents.
In an interview with Ghanamps.com he noted that a lot of social interventions were brought to the constituency under the leadership of the previous MP including boreholes to provide water, construction or roads as well as the astro turf which is generating a lot of revenue.
Mr. Bosompem recounted that in the 2020 Parliamentary election the NPP Parliamentary candidate was voted out because of the opposition NDC’s propaganda, that the constituents do not need roads but rather money in their pockets; a message that got down well hence they lost the seat to the opposition.
He further explained that roads around the Madina market, the market to taxi rank, Rawlings Circle and UPAS were all done under the NPP, while the security personnel also benefited from motor bikes.
Also work on the Damfa road project was started by the former MP which the current MP only makes noise about and ended up engaging in hooliganism trying to bring people to demonstrate against the government instead of going to the sector Minister to lobby for the completion of the roads.
Mr Bosompem emphasised that the kind of development Madina should see are no more there, adding that Madina has been left to its fate. “What is the MP currently doing? We cannot see him, he is rather talking about gay rights try to give privileges to gay people. That is what his focus is on; his focus is not on the development of the constituency.
