THE New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament for the New Juaben South Constituency in the Eastern Region, Madam Bernice Beatrice Boateng, has called for support from the media for the development of the constituency.
Madam Boateng popularly known as “B.B.” made the call at a reception she organised for the Eastern Regional Press Corps at Koforidua.
She said she had carried out a number of programmes in the constituency, and needed support from the media to highlight such activities to promote the development of the area.
She said she purchased machines for the local Tailors and Dressmakers Association and erected a wall around the Zongo Community clinic, adding that she frequently visited her constituency and interacted with the people to promote two-way communication flow between the MP and the people of the constituency.
That, she said, would accelerate the development of the constituency and improve the lot of the people.
“As the accredited representative of the people, it is my duty to help develop the constituency which can only be accomplished with the help of the media so you must give me the necessary support,” Madam Beatrice Boateng stated.
Outlying her activities for the new year, the MP said her priority would be the provision of additional sheds for some traders who transacted business under the scorching sun with funds she received from the MP’s Emergency HIPC Fund, help procure funds for some of the youth with vocational skills to establish their businesses and the acquisition of sporting kits, especially jerseys for all the basic schools in the constituency
She also stated that she would continue to team up with the New Juaben Municipal Assembly in all activities especially construction and rehabilitation of access roads in the area.
Madam Beatrice Boateng, who stressed the need for the NPP and the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) to co-operate for the development of the area, said it was only in that direction that the people of New Juaben would get their share of the national cake in terms of social amenities and other poverty alleviation initiatives.
She said she had learnt a lot in Parliament after being in the House for one year, adding that “that experience gives me an impetus to work harder to champion the cause of my people”.
A member of the Eastern Regional Press Corps, Mr George Sampson of Oman FM, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, gave the assurance that the media would give the MP the necessary support to carry out her development agenda.
