Highest Eri
Social media personality Nana Akua Appiah, popularly known as Highest Eri, has accused Tema West Member of Parliament (MP), James Enu, of abandoning constituents after winning the parliamentary elections, citing poor road conditions and lack of flood response.
Speaking on a podcast at KSS Studios titled The World of Members of Parliament, Highest Eri said she had been searching for the MP for weeks without success. “I am looking for my MP for Tema West, Honorable Lawyer James Enu. I’ve got a video which I’m going to post. I’ve been looking for him for about two weeks.
“He’s nowhere to be found. I went to his office last week because he’s very close to me. I cannot find him,” she said.
The media personality said the last time she saw Enu was during the election campaign. “You, in particular, you lost more than two times. So Tema West people thought, ‘Oh, let’s just change. Let’s bring you in. Maybe you will do something, have something better to offer Tema West.’ So we voted for you. You won. You came back to the same area: ‘Oh, thank you, thank you, thank you.’ That was last December, two years ago. I’ve not seen him since. When he needed the vote, he was in our faces,” she said.
Highest Eri also criticised the state of roads in the constituency, saying poor infrastructure delayed access to the MP’s office. “From my junction to his office is like a two-minute drive, but because of the potholes, even from my house to his office, it takes 10 minutes because of the road,” she stated.
She further accused the MP of being absent during recent floods that destroyed properties in Tema West. “I have not seen my Honorable. We are talking about MPs, and you are my MP. I am looking for you. We voted for you because it’s not everything we can take directly to the president,” she added.
