MP Canvases For Vote For Mahama

Member of Parliament (MP) for Shama, Mr Gabriel Kodwo Essilfie, has asked the electorate to retain President John Dramani Mahama in power as he needs another four- year term to complete the numerous infrastructural projects initiated.

He noted that the Mahama-Amissah- Arthur led administration had done many developmental projects in almost all the communities, which provided a springboard for development in human aspirations.

Mr Essilfie was addressing a rally of NDC party faithful and inhabitants of Assorkor-Essaman at Assorkor in the Shama constituency of the Western Region.

He said government had established a fish processing plant already at Abuesi in the constituency.

He said that made the promise by the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to establish a fish processing plant in the community not feasible.

The MP added that government had also concluded negotiations with an Indian company to produce fertilizer in the constituency to help boost farming activities.

He was sure that the NDC was going to win the December 7 elections and appealed to the communications team of the Party to go all out and use the green book to teach Ghanaians on the achievements of government.

National Communications Director of the NDC, Mr Solomon Yaw Nkansah said the NDC had the track record to propel the nation to an accelerated economic development.

He asked the people of Shama to consider the massive projects embarked upon by President Mahama and retain the government in power.

Mr Nkansah appealed to the youth to campaign in a humble and disciplined manner devoid of insults and attacks in a bid to win more votes for the party in the upcoming polls.

Shama District Chief Executive, Mr Eric Cobbinah said the District could boast of eight CHPS compound within the last three and half years which had catered for the health care needs of the people with a drastic reduction in maternal mortality.

He said a ceramic factory which would employ 1,500 people was under construction with an 18-km road asphalted in the District and an additional 19.5km of asphalt road from Asemasa is underway.

On education he said the District topped the 2016 BECE results with 76 per cent, which was a marked improvement on the 33 per cent record in the NPP administration.

The NDC government has also built 37 schools in the District with 34 of them enjoying the school feeding programme as well as the construction of an ultra-modern educational complex with two pick-up vehicles.
