Praise

The Deputy Greater Accra Regional Minister, Ms Elizabeth Sackey, and Member of Parliament for Okai Koi North, who witnessed the endorsement, praised the assembly members for their maturity and mutual understanding in the exercise.

‘’You have got the right person who will woo investors into your area for development. I am happy you are thinking of the country rather than your own parochial interests,’’ the Deputy Minister stressed.

A Member of the Council of State from the area, Dr Nii Kotei Dzani, who spoke earlier, appealed to the assembly members not to disappoint the President as the nominee is a good material that would be useful not only to the district but the country in general.

The Ada West District Electoral Officer, Ms Linda Esi Abban, supervised the confirmation.
