Manso Nkwanta MP spooked as constituents pray he dies so they get by-election development

The Member of Parliament (MP) for Manso-Nkwanta in the Ashanti Region, George Kwabena Takyi, has been spooked out of his wits by the wishes of his constituents.

The MP is crying foul at prayers of his people for him to die so the government will send developmentn to the area.

Responding to questions by his constituents on Ghana Akoma morning show with Aduanaba Kofi Asante Ennin on Akoma FM in Kumasi, on lack of development in the area, the MP was not happy that some people in his constituency want him to die to pave way for by-election, which to them will see massive development in the area.


They make mention of the level of quick developments in constituencies where there would be by-elections.
Calling in to the show, some of the constituents in Manso-Nkwanta prayed for their MP to die in order to merit development.

They suggested that members residing in constituencies with New Patriotic Party (NPP) MPs should pray for their deaths.

They argued that such unfortunate events would allegedly pave the way for much-needed development projects in their respective communities.

Citing the recent by-elections in Kumawu and Assin North as an example, they claimed that the NPP in their bid to secure votes for their party’s candidates, initiated road construction and development projects following the passing of Philip Atta Basoah and the deposition of James Gyakye Quayson respectively.

In the phone-in contributions on Mepotem segment on the show, Kumawu callers contended that had the MP not passed away, the constituency would have been neglected in terms of infrastructural development.
They further questioned why such projects were not undertaken while the representative was alive, rather than exploiting his death as a catalyst for progress.

Responding to them, Manso-Nkwanta MP George Takyi was not happy about their statements and assured them that he is doing everything possible to improve on the infrastructural facilities in his constituency.

He mentioned that roads from Pakyi No. 1 and No. 2 have been given on contract and that the contractor will resume work soon.

Other areas like Manso-Nkwanta, Antoakrom and others will soon be worked on, he asured.

He said it is not fair to wish someone dead to pave way for development but the government is doing everything possible to fix the bad roads and other facilities.
