The Member of Parliament for Ejura Sekyeredumase, Muhammad Braimah Bawah has noted that, but for his good works and the fact that he prioritizes the welfare of his constituents over the period, he would have lost the seat, since the then New Patriotic Party government threw in all their arsenals to make him unpopular and unseat him.
The MP recounts that for them in the constituency, the eight years period under the previous government of the New Patriotic Party was a waste, as they never benefited even an inch of road, or any electrification project. More so, the period was a hostile regime for him since he belongs to the National Democratic Congress (NDC), one of few constituencies in an NPP dominated region.
As to his expectations with the coming in of the ‘Big Push Agenda’ when it comes to roads, he pointed out that they have high hopes as a constituency.
“Before you met me for this interview, I was on the phone; we were discussing addressing roads in the constituency. Before the NPP came to power, the John Mahama administration in 2013 to 2016 did a lot of rods about eight kilometers town roads. But the last eight years of NPP, not even a millimeter of road in the words of the former sector minister. Maybe Ejura is a place where there are no human beings that is why nothing was done”.
He however disclosed that with the NDC back in power, ten kilometers of town roads would be done. Again, the department of feeder roads is coming to Ejura to take measurements as directed by the Minister for Roads and Highways, Governs Kwame Agbodza, he stated.
“Our roads I am happy to report that next week engineers would be there and see how they can tackle it under the big push infrastructure programme. Our roads are not motorable but this would be a thing of the past under the NDC”, he noted.
Mr. Braimah Bawah further pointed out that before NPP came to power they were extending electricity to everywhere in the constituency; “then I was a Municipal Chief Executive. We did that to fifty-four communities; but the past eight years did not see a single community connected to the national electricity grid. “But as we speak now, we have contractors who have come and are continuing from where we left off”.
