PARLIAMENTARY WORK NOT UNIT COMMITTEE WORK — ADZAHO (PAGE 15)

THE Ho East Constituency Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Michael Adzaho, has advised Ghanaians to vote for parliamentary candidates who can represent their interest and aspirations.
“Parliamentary work is not unit committee work”, he said, adding that care must be taken in choosing the appropriate candidate to suit the present times and its challenges.
Mr Adzaho gave the advice during the introduction of the NDC parliamentary candidate for the constituency, Mrs Juliana Azumah-Mensah, a Master’s of Science degree holder in nursing and midwifery, at Agotime-Kpetoe in the Ho East Constituency.
She is contesting with Ms Benedicta Datsomor, a teacher, for the Convention People’s Party (CPP); Mr Victus Avuwordah, an electrical technician of the New Patriotic Party (NPP); Dr Samuel C.K. Buame, a lecturer and legal practitioner as an independent candidate; Mr Michael Gamor, for the Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) and Ms Sarah Kporku, of the People’s National Convention (PNC).
Mr Adzaho described Mrs Azumah-Mensah, the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP), as the right candidate and that the people must vote for her to continue with her good work for the area.
The Chief of Adaklu-Kodzobi, Togbe Degbladze, openly criticised the policy that chiefs should not engage in active politics.
He said he was on the platform to declare his stand that although a chief, he could not hide his support and that of the people of Adaklu for Mrs Azumah-Mensah.
The Volta Regional Chairman of the NDC, Mr Modestus Ahiable, said the party was sure of victory and that they should retain the NDC candidate in Parliament.
He said further that they should resist the campaign of lies and deceit being peddled by the NPP and that the claim by the NPP to have performed better than the NDC was not true.
For her part, Mrs Azumah-Mensah said she had championed the cause of the three traditional areas in the constituency during the past four years and would continue to work hard with the view to earning a good position in the next NDC administration.
She asked the people to reflect on their present sad conditions and be accordingly guided to vote for the NDC and its parliamentary candidates in order to change the situation.
