The Member of Parliament (MP) for New Juaben North, Nana Kwasi Adjei Boateng, has toured parts of the constituency to see how best to address the challenges confronting the people.
The MP also used the opportunity to brief his constituents about projects he intended to undertake in the various communities.
Nana Adjei Boateng interacted with the chiefs and people in the area and discussed issues bothering on the development agenda of the constituency which included education, health, water, sanitation and security.
He expressed gratitude to the chiefs and people for the confidence reposed in him by electing him to represent them in Parliament and pledged to work with them to help develop the constituency.
“I thank you all for the honour done me,” he said, admitting that though the work of a parliamentarian was not easy, he would not disappoint the constituents.
According to Nana Adjei Boateng he would do what was within his power to improve the standard of living of the constituents with education and health being his major priorities.
He urged the constituents to unite to develop the constituency and work hard to fight poverty, filth, and diseases which were barriers to development.
Nana Adjei Boateng stressed that he would lobby for more projects such as construction of roads, provision of quality education, quality health care and interventions to improve the well-fare of the people.
He reiterated his commitment to help maintain peace in New Juaben Municipality.
“New Juaben has remained calm and peaceful all these years and everything possible would be done to ensure that the people in the area continue to enjoy that relative peace,” he said.
Nana Adjei-Boateng advised the youth in the area to spend their energies on productive activities that would benefit them and the constituency and urged them not to engage in social vices that could jeopardize their future.
He expressed concern about the sharp decline in educational standards in some rural communities and called on the traditional authorities to take steps to address the situation.
He, therefore, urged parents to see education of their wards as an investment and support them.
The MP later interacted with assembly members from the area on how to collaborate to push the development agenda forward.
The assembly members expressed concern about the shift system being practiced in the educational sector in the area and appealed to the MP and the Municipal Assembly to come together to abolish it.
They urged the MP to provide security lights at the Community Health Planning Services (CHPS) compounds to improve health delivery services.
Some of the communities the MP visited were Effiduase, Asokore, Oyoko, Jumapo and Akwadum.
