Gomoa West MP lauds government’s achievements

The Member of Parliament for Gomoa West, Mr Francis Kojo Arthur, says the government should be commended for taking legal and other due processes to create a conducive environment in order to achieve the Better Ghana agenda.

He, therefore, asked people who were “sitting on the fence” criticising the government to put a stop to it, since it did not make them patriotic citizens.

Mr Arthur, who was speaking to Ghana News Agency at Gomoa Dawurampong in the Central Region, said the government was committed to the development of the country, adding that his constituency last year had its fair share of the national cake.

He said the area received its share of the District Assemblies’ Common Fund and the Heavily Indebted Poor Countries Fund to rehabilitate roads that had been abandoned for more than 40 years before.

The funds were also used to complete school buildings, provide electricity to the communities, supply dual desks to schools and register more than 600 aged people with the National Health Insurance Scheme.

Mr Arthur said he used a total of GH¢30,000 from his share of the funds to sponsor more than 100 students.

He said part of the money was also used to supply  water tanks to communities without pipe-borne water. — GNA
