She told the Ghana News Agency (GNA) at Duayaw-Nkwanta on Tuesday that no amount of “unnecessary pressures, intimidations, and frustrations” from her detractors could divert her attention and jeopardize her chances of winning the general election.

According to Mrs Prempeh, who is also a member of the Communications and Government Assurance committees in Parliament, her constituents were left no other option than to retain her in parliament because of the level of development she had brought to the constituency.

She indicated that almost all the communities in her constituency had, in one way or the other, benefitted from several development projects. Mrs Prempeh said she had provided medical equipment worth GHC30,000 to the Bomaa Health Centre and supplied sets of health equipment to some Community-based Health Planning Services (CHPS) compounds in the area.

On education, the MP said she had offered scholarships to over 1,000 students in senior high schools as well as nursing and teacher training colleges,  financed the construction of classroom blocks and supplied 600 dual desks to basic school children in the constituency. Mrs Prempeh said had also provided 4,000 blocks towards the construction of a teacher’s bungalow for the Yamfo Anglican Senior High School, while the Bomaa and Serwaa Kesse Senior High Schools had also benefitted from other educational materials including computers and printers.

She said the road sector had also witnessed some level of improvements as she personally financed the re-shaping of the Yamfo-Assen, Tanokrom-Dwumakwi and Bomaa-Nkwantabisa roads. “I have personally distributed 350 pairs of boots to personnel of the police, prison and fire services at Dauyaw-Nkwanta,” she said, adding that she had also supplied 10,000 sandals to basic school pupils and students.

Mrs Prempeh said she had financed the construction of several boreholes in many of the deprived communities to address perennial water problems that faced the people and also supplied street light to most of the communities. The MP said she would give priority to sports development and women empowerment in her next term indicating that she would support most women in the area to engage in economic activities that would enhance their livelihood.

Mrs Prempeh, also a member of the Youth and Sports Committee of Parliament, said she had the intention to build a mini sports stadium or a modern recreational centre at Duayaw-Nkwanta to help unearth and nurture the talents of young boys and girls in the area. She expressed discomfort about the poor road networks, dilapidated school structures and high level of youth unemployment in the area and advised Ghanaians to vote for the NPP to address the situation.
