I am still the Member of Parliament
for KEEA- Dr Nduom
Elmina Oct. 15, Ghanadot/GNA -Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, Member of
Parliament (MP) for Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA)
constituency on Sunday said, he was still the sitting MP of
the area and would continue to do what is expected of him.
He said declaring his intentions to contest for the
presidency on the ticket of the Convention People Party (CPP)
does not mean he is no longer an MP and warned those who
were giving false information on the issue to wait till next
year for the electorate to decide on their next MP.
Dr Nduom said this when the chiefs and people of Edina held
a durbar at Elmina to honour him for his immense
contributions towards the development of the district.
He was presented with a stool and citation, which described
him as an eminent son of the area who has contributed
greatly towards its development, especially in the areas of
education and job creation.
It also stated "within a relatively short period of time you
have eloquently demonstrated by your deeds the love you have
for Ghana in general and KEEA in particular by playing an
active role in the politics of the country and also by
sponsoring a host of activities in the District".
He said those "rushing him out of Parliament", should
exercise patience since he has about one and half years to
serve his constituency and gave the assurance that he would
work hard to complete all the development projects he
initiated.
The projects, he said, includes the construction of roads,
community libraries, rural electrification and the dredging
of the Benya lagoon and hopes to finish them before the end
of his term in office.
Dr Nduom said he still appreciates President John Agyekum
Kufuor's all-inclusive government and thanked God that he
was able to work diligently with the Kufuor's administration
without misappropriating funds or having serious problems
with any member of the government.
He also thanked the chiefs and people of his constituency
for their support and pledged that he would continue to do
what is expected of him as an MP.
Nana Kodwo Conduah VI, Omanhene of Edina traditional, who
presided, commended Dr Nduom for the numerous development
projects in the areas and promised that they would continue
to support him.
Nana Conduah said he and his people were happy with what Dr
Nduom was doing both at the national and international level
and that they would not wait to show their appreciation at
his funeral, but would rather do it whiles he is alive.
He said due to his hard work and commitment to duty he was
made a Minister in the NPP government and urged other
citizens of Elmina to emulate his example.
