The Member of Parliament for Chereponi Seidu Alhassan Alajor has disclosed that spending a whole month in his constituency since the House went on recess has been a fulfilling experience as he had time to visit every community and interacted with the people.
According to him it is the first of its kind as the constituents came to him and indicated that this is the first time an MP has stayed with them for a full four weeks without traveling to Yendi, Bawku, Tamale or Accra.
I interacted with them, played with them and share with them things that happened on the floor of the House before we went on recess, he said in an interview.
“Why I am doing that is that, I want to bring the position of the MPs to the door steps of the people, because over the years I have seen that there is a gap between the people and the MP, sometimes the
MP comes in for one or two days dash out to Accra and this has been the norm over the years?”
He stressed that there is the need to keep in touch with the people and discuss with them the things they go through day and night, so that we can better serve them, adding that the more time you spend with them the better appreciation you get of their needs and aspirations.
“Again, I use the opportunity to tour every community in the constituency over two hundred and something communities in the constituency through the one month I visited every single community to thank them and show appreciation for electing me to represent them”.
More importantly, he noted that for electing John Mahama as the president of the Country, the people wants a lot of things including good roads, health facility education good water among others to better their lives.
