A group calling itself the Concerned Youth of Suame Constituency is calling for a change in who becomes their member of parliament for the constituency after the December polls.
The youth say the current MP who is also Minister for Parliamentary Affairs, Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu has failed to perform in the over 24 years he has been in Parliament.
They lament the bad nature of roads, poor drainage systems and the lack of hospital facilities in the constituency.
Addressing a press conference in Kumasi on Wednesday, 26 August 2020, Public Relations Officer of the group, Kofi Agyei said the youth have resolved to support an independent candidate, George Prempeh, who they believe can execute their development agenda.
Mr Agyei said: “The 24 years of incompetent leadership in the Suame constituency is enough. After all, the 24 years has not yielded any positive impact on the constituents. Only have we lived on dilapidated road infrastructure, poor drainage system, no hospital facility and no additional educational infrastructure.
“We with grief concern, therefore, have thoroughly done a search and have gotten someone with a high personality to contest in the name of Suame constituency as an independent candidate.
“He is in the person of Mr George Prempeh”.
