Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Vetting of parliamentary aspirants of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Ashanti Region has begun.<\/b><\/p>\n

The vetting committee is scheduled to vet 10 out of 36 constituencies Monday, 3 April 2023.<\/p>\n

Aspirants who will be appearing before the vetting committee have eyes set on Akrofrom, Ejisu, Obuasi East, Obuasi West, Bekwai, Asante Akim North, New Edubiase, Manso Nkwanta, Bosomtwe, and Odotobri constituencies.<\/p>\n

Akrofrom parliamentary aspirant, Joseph Asuman; Obuasi East parliamentary aspirant, Samuel Aboagye; and Bekwai parliamentary aspirant, Samuel Prempeh Junior; were vetted.<\/p>\n

Some of them parliamentary aspirants spoke to Class 91.3 FM\u2019s Ashanti regional correspondent, Elisha Adarkwah.<\/p>\n

The parliamentary aspirant for Bekwai, Mr Samuel Prempeh Junior, revealed that his vetting was successful.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt went on very successfully. It was all about the work that I did on the ground and when I was given the position and how I handled it and how successful it went,\u201d he commented.<\/p>\n

He also explained his desire to go to the House of Legislature.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy vision is to create employment for the youth of Bekwai constituency; for the youth to get more jobs to do because the youth of Bekwai constituency lack jobs and infrastructure,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The parliamentary aspirant for Obuasi East, Samuel Aboagye, revealed his vision for the constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs an indigene, and somebody who\u2019s lived in Obuasi, worked in Obuasi, had my businesses and properties in Obuasi, I\u2019m a stakeholder in the development of Obuasi. With my international exposure and experience, I think I have a lot to offer the good people of Obuasi East.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it stands now, we\u2019re lacking political leadership. We\u2019re lacking direction and that\u2019s what I\u2019m offering the good people of Obuasi,\u201d Mr Aboagye declared.<\/p>\n

He bemoaned the lack of educational facilities in the Obuasi East Constituency.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs it stands now, we don\u2019t have a university. We don\u2019t have a nursing training college. We don\u2019t have a training college in Obuasi.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s so embarrassing that we don\u2019t have such facilities to serve the needs of our people in Obuasi East,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

He noted that such facilities will create opportunities for the people of the area.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet\u2019s look at the development it\u2019s going to bring. Let\u2019s look at the jobs it\u2019s going to create for the good people of Obuasi East, and these are some of the things I sit down and my heart weeps because it looks like our leaders they don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey don\u2019t care. They don\u2019t think about the people and this the time we need to arise and hold them accountable. We have a Member of Parliament. For six good years, he has never contributed on the floor of parliament. What are you representing?\u201d he argued.<\/p>\n

He, therefore, promised the people of Obuasi East good leadership when given the nod in the primaries and subsequently in the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n
