The member of Parliament for Wa East, Goodfrey Tangu , has stated that no propaganda from the National Democratic Congress(NDC) in the WA East Constituency would swing the seat to their fold.
That, he said was because he had an unblemished track record based on which the electorates had kept faith with him and continued to give him the nod to represent them in parliament.
He, therefore, urged the NDC to concentrate on delivering its unfulfilled promises.
Speaking in an interview with the Daily Graphic in Wa, Mr Tangu expressed serious concernabout the slow pace of the implementation of projects in the constituency and added that if it was a ploy to get him out, then the NDC had already lost the elections.
“With respect to the road sector, for instance, my brother, nothing seems to be happening. No new road has been constructed since the NDC took over power. When it comes to electricity, very little has been done. AS we sit here, many of my constituents are alleging that goats and an amount of GHS 30 is taken from them before they are offered transformers, ‘’ the Wa East MP lamented, and said 100 electric poles which were purchased under the Self Help Electrification Project(SHEP) in 2008 are the ones being used by the current contractor.
He asked why the contractor did not purchase his own poles and described the development during the NPP administration as positive and that of the NDC government as abysmal.
Mr Tangu advised his constituents to take heart and stressed “ With the elections around the corner, the light will soon shine upon them when the NPP comes back and I am still the MP’’.
He further called on the people to take a llok at his stewardship since he became their MP and said, “ The development of Wa East is by the people of Wa East and so they must vote for people who are ready to help develop the area’’.
