The Delta Force suspects at the police station
IN WHAT can be described as a direct reply to the Delta Force, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at Tafo/Pankrono Constituency has outlined several projects executed by their Member of Parliament (MP), Dr. Anthony Osei Akoto in the constituency.
Addressing a press conference at Old Tafo, near Kumasi on Thursday, the NPP Chairman for Tafo/Pankrono, Moses Kwame Donkor, stated that their MP is one of the development-oriented politicians in the country, so far.
According to him, through Akoto Osei’s leadership style, Tafo/Pankrono Constituency has been transformed over the years, especially during the 20 months that the NPP administration had been in political office.
Chairman Kwame Donkor stated that the wild allegations that the MP was not doing enough for the constituency, hence the near-attack on his life on Sunday by the Delta Force, is total false so the public should ignore it.
“Through NABCO, he has helped 350 people in the constituency to be employed, the MP has also helped 150 people to get into the Youth in Afforestation programme and 137 people are now in the Youth in Community Police.
“The MP has commissioned three mechanized boreholes at OKESS, Ahzaria and Usumania, all Senior High Schools (SHS) in the constituency”, the Tafo/Pankrono NPP Constituency NPP chairman, indicated, attracting applause.
He added “he has constructed 10-seater toilet facilities at TAPASS JHS, OKESS and Ahenbronum Proper. He has renovated the Old Tafo Central Mosque and also built a new mosque at a place called 45 at Old Tafo.
“Our hard working MP has also transformed the Old Tafo football park, formerly known as Sakasaka into a modern mini stadium”, noting that the MP has done more for the constituency since the NPP came into political office.
“He has made the development of the constituency his utmost priority ever since he became the MP for Tafo/Pankrono in 2004, but he has done more for the area ever since the NPP came to power in 2016 and we are grateful to him”.
Mr. Kwame Donkor noted that the entire constituency, especially the NPP members, is fully in support of their lawmaker, who clearly is working assiduously to help bring about proper transformation into the constituency.
He condemned the attack on their MP saying “We also condemn the unwarranted and reckless act on our general meeting by those who tag themselves as Delta Force in the constituency”.
Mr. Moses Donkor entreated residents of the constituency to remain calm and continue to rally behind their MP and the NPP government to continue to roll out their positive policies to improve the country and the citizenry.
