According to him, the vehicles were supposed to be managed by a secretariat and the revenue shared on 40:60 ratio between the dealership and the zones respectively.

“This was in line with my message of creating economic opportunities for the grassroot of the party and to make it economically independent. We had other models like one electoral area, one business. Eg. Corn mill, tricycles, plastic chairs, mattress and canopy hiring etc. Very innovative ideas to make the party viable and attractive to especially the youth. It’s unfortunate this has received negative publicity by some media outlets”, he revealed.

He revealed that it was not true he brought the vehicles to dash delegates at the just ended parliamentary primaries in the area as has been reported by a section of the media though he had the vehicles branded with his posters and lined them up at the venue of the event.

There were earlier reports the vehicles were meant for the party but after losing, he has refused to gift the cars to the party as promised and rather directed the vehicles be towed from the venue of the event to his house, sparking controversy as to whether he was indeed determined to give out the vehicles or it was a mere gimmick.

He came third losing to the District Chief Executive (DCE) of the area, Rashid Kwesi Etuaful.

Out of the four candidates who contested include Rasheed Kwesi Etuaful , Richard Hagan, Elisha Debrah Odoom and Ransford Kwesi Nyarko, a total of 743 delegates making up 134 polling stations and 47 electoral with the winner Rasheed Kwesi Etuaful securing 411 votes.

Residents of Samreboi cry on gov’t to fix their roads

Residents of Samreboi are up in arms with the Government of Ghana over neglect of their roads. According to residents, It has become very worrying as their bad road network is affecting not only economic activities but also their social activities.
