The Member of Parliament for Amasaman, Emmanuel Nii Okai Laryea is accusing the New Patriotic Party executives in his constituency of orchestrating Monday’s demonstration at Manhean.
Some residents in the constituency demonstrated on Monday to protest the deplorable state of roads and drainage in the area.
But according to Emmanuel Nii Okai Laryea, his investigation indicates that leadership of the NPP in his Constituency planned the demonstration.
“Sometimes we seem to tow partisan and political lines and it affects us; we have had security information that NPP constituency executive within the Amasaman constituency are the ones who were behind the demonstration,’’ he said.
The MP further revealed that “there is a recording to that effect, we will make it available to all of you so that you play it for all to judge’’.
He noted that there is no need to deepen partisanship in modern day Ghana.
The Amasaman Legislator however, is asking his constituents to be patient since the assembly has devoted enough money to construct the roads and the drainage system in the area.
“The assembly has set aside so much money, purposely for that road; it is only fair that you exercise patience and restrain for them to come and work on it as soon as the rainy season is over,’’ he added.
He also rejected claims by the demonstrators that he does not visit the constituency and is out of touch with the people.
