The Member of Parliament for Klottey Korle Dr. Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings said while a holistic improvement of the constituency remains her focus, she will ensure issues around the youth, women, and persons with disability are given priority in the constituency.
According to her she will ensure agencies within her constituency do not ignore the indigenes, when it comes to opportunities in the area of capacity building and employment.
Dr. Zanetor, speaking in an interview with Ghanamps.com added that the provision of sporting facilities is something she is taking greater interest in, as well as ensuring that sporting facilities within the tertiary institutions are in good conditions so that young people can also take greater interest in sports.
The MP, a health practitioner herself has over the years been actively involved in organizing and making resources available for regular health screening programmes for her constituents; and has promised to maintain that gesture while ensuring that health facilities are enhanced in the area.
On the educational front, she indicated that she would continue to provide scholarships to needy students from the basic level to the tertiary level and make sure issues having to do with enhancing education are taken care of.
With regards to recent fire outbreaks in market centres, she noted that the development is quite devastating particularly on the lives and livelihoods of the affected traders; hence there is the need for collaboration with the Ghana fire and the Municipality to ensure that fire hydrants are working properly and access to all these markets are improved to enhance smooth response in times of emergencies.
She pledged to project issues of importance about the constituency on the floor of the House, including flooding which relates to the proper execution of the Greater Accra Resilient and Integrated Development (GARID).
The project, she noted, has some issues around it because of the way some of the funds that were supposed to go to GARID were re-aligned to COVID; thus a lot of the works did not start, and the rains are not too far from now, and added that it is her hope that once we have Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives in place, especially those who are up stream to the constituency, there would be fruitful discussions on the way forward including the management of solid wastes.
