Member of Parliament for Asawase, the Hon. Mohammed Muntaka Mubarak has described his constituency colleagues in Kumasi Metropolis and its neighboring municipalities as a lazy group that fails to push for the development of its population.

He added that these MPs were rebadured by the belief that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) would win any seat in the Ashanti region, "even if a dog was preparing to run for the bid. a Member of Parliament ".

The chief minority bad also states that, according to his colleagues, "instead of serving their constituents, we must rather be guided by ourselves and, in some cases, intimidate them with their security escort".

In an interview with Kwame Adinkra on Pure FM, based in Kumasi, under the control of MyNewsGh.com, the Hon. Muntaka said: "Some of them who have just entered Parliament and had the privilege of becoming deputy ministers are moving everywhere with a police escort, except when they go to the restroom." .

He advised them to leave their drivers and security officials in Accra to go to their constituency "not feeling like Oga, but ordinary people so that their constituents can approach them and talk to them".

"I can not afford to be lazy with this job, because if I take a nap for a single second, I lose my seat; but my colleagues feel that their seats are safe and do not do everything in their power to develop their constituencies, "he said.

The Asawase constituency undoubtedly has the most suitable street and street lighting network in the Ashanti region, with asphalt in some of its more remote communities.

Some members of the region, including the deputy of Suame and leader of the majority, the Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah had the opportunity to complain and blame the previous government of discrimination when awarding contracts for the construction of roads in the Ashanti region during the eight years of his mandate.

But Hon. Mubarak Muntaka Mohammed said roads in his constituency would not have been built if he had remained inactive and had not lobbied.

"If you are lazy and do not press for the development of your people, do not blame Muntaka; you have nothing to do as a deputy if you can not speak for your people. "

He said that documents were available to prove that contracts had been placed by the John Mahama administration for the construction of most of the degraded roads in Kumasi, "but my colleagues simply did not follow for to make sure they were finished. "

Bad roads remain one of the main problems in the Kumasi metropolis and in other municipalities and districts of Ashanti region.

Just recently, the government announced a 55 million euro financing facility for road construction in the metropolis of Kumasi.

Construction is underway on some of the busy sections, including the Tech Junction-Oforikrom highway.
