Alfred Ababio Kumi, an aspirant in the Adentan constituency has told Citi News that he is the unifier the party in Adentan needs.
According to him, if he’s elected as the NPP’s candidate and he subsequently is elected as the Member of Parliament, he will adopt a town council approach in finding solutions for the development of the area.
Speaking on the Point Blank segment on Eyewitness News, the Administrator and Information engineer explained that Adentan needs a Town Council system which supports a flow of information from inhabitants to leaders and vice-versa.
“You need to be accessible, humble and very truthful. You need to be a unifier and you need to be a visionary. The vision for Adentan should also have a system and one of the major things we are looking at is the Town Council. For the constituency to develop, the information must flow up and down. Information is always flowing from up to the down, but for the information must flow from the down to up so we could identify the real problems of the people. We need to have that Town Council System at the electoral area levels.”
Also, he added that this system will ensure a fair distribution of resources to specific needs among electoral areas.
On the issue of human resource development, he intends to reduce the financial dependency on legislators and increase self-reliance through the provision of jobs.
“Developing human resources is also important, one of the things I’m trying to do even for the NPP executives in the Adentan district is to get them Aboboyaa Tricycle to do work-and-pay.”
Being a former Deputy Speaker for University of Ghana SRC Parliament, he will be contesting the sitting MP and NPP’s Communications Director, Yaw Buaben Asamoa.
Among other candidates include Emmanuel Kwesi Mantey and Health Practitioner, Freda Agyemang Sarpong.
