The Member of Parliament for Sunyani East, Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh, has urged President John Evans Atta Mills to make his tour of the Greater Accra Region more of a listening session rather than a ‘sod cutting festival’.
According to him, the President’s previous tour around parts of the country has been characterized by lots of sod cutting exercises while ordinary Ghanaians who are reeling under intense hardship yearn to have the President listen to their concerns whenever he visits their areas.
President John Evans Attah Mills resumes his regional tours today, Tuesday, October 11, 2011, with a tour of the Greater Accra Region.
During the three-day working tour, President Mills will visit, Accra, Tema, Ga West, Ga East, Ga South, Ledzokuku, Adenta, Ashaiman, Dangme East and West District/Municipal/Metropolitan Areas.
The President during his visit is expected commissioning completed projects and inspecting on-going ones such as, the road construction around the Polo Grounds to open up the Spintex Raod; Community Clinic at Amanfrom; Taifa/Kwabenya road; 3-story Boys Dormitory at Ghanata Senior High School, Dodowa; among others.
Contributing to a panel discussion on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem show on Tuesday, the Member of Parliament for Sunyani East, Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh said it is important that President Mills finds time to listen to the concerns of the people at such function and not only when electioneering campaigning begins.
“Most Ghanaians are not feeling the action that the President promised would be seen and felt, they need to tell him their worries and needs when goes to them, but all we see is that as soon as the President is done with cutting several sod he gets into his car and he’s driven away without spending time with the people’’ he said.
