Nana Oduro Asri Basayiadom l, Chief of Assin Bereku in the Assin North Constituency, has debunked claims by the opposition NDC that Assin North Constituency is receiving massive infrastructure development as a result of the impending By-Election.
According to him, all these projects started long ago.
The Chief intimated that developmental projects in the constituency have been started for a very long time and were not initiated because of the by-election in the constituency.
He is grateful to the Nana Akufo-Addo government for the numerous infrastructural projects in Assin Bereku.
“People think that the development going on in Assin Central is because of the by-election but that’s not the case. I’ve always been on the case of the District Chief Executive (DCE) questioning when they are going to finish the projects they have started.
They have always assured me that they will continue to work at an appreciable pace to ensure that the projects they started come to a complete end to the satisfaction of the people in the various communities in Assin North.
Everyone in this area is aware of the good works of the NPP. Under the Nana Addo government, my people have a hospital, they’ve an Assembly block for us. With regards to the roads, work did not start on them because of the by-elections because I saw them working on them even before the by-election,” he said while addressing the media in response to propaganda.
The Assin North by-election became necessary after James Gyakye Quayson, was ousted from parliament following a ruling by the Supreme Court of Ghana that he was not qualified to contest in the 2020 election.
Assin North By-Election is scheduled for June 29, 2023.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC) is hoping to maintain the seat with its Candidate, James Gyakye Quayson whiles the New Patriotic Party (NPP) seeks to snatch the seat with Charles Opoku as their candidate.
