Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>A parliamentary candidate hopeful on the ticket of the governing New Patriotic Party in the Bekwai constituency, COP George Alex Mensah (Rtd), has said he is ready to assist the people in the constituency with his rich experience.<\/b><\/p>\n

He says he will be selfish if he decides to sit at home and keep the knowledge that he has.<\/p>\n

Speaking on the Sunrise show on 3FM on Tuesday, January 16, COP George Alex Mensah (Rtd) who is contesting the seat with three others \u2013 Ralph Poku-Adusei, Henry Opoku-Ware, and Kingsley Opoku Agyemang\u2013 said \u201cI see myself as one person who can help the people of Bekwai, who can serve the people of Bekwai very well, that is exactly what I want to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to use my experience, and knowledge to assist the youth, and the community in their development. So I don’t see why I should go and relax when I have all the knowledge, I have the strength to do this for my community.<\/p>\n

NPP Polls: It won’t be a smooth ride but I’ll win Bekwai primaries \u2013 COP Alex Mensah (Rtd)<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I don’t do that then I am being selfish, I shouldn’t think of myself alone, I should think about my people. If my people need me to come and serve them why should I relax?\u201d<\/p>\n

COP Alex Mensa (RTD) was involved in the controversial leaked tape scandal, that captured an alleged plot to remove the Inspector General of Police Dr George Akfo Dampare.<\/p>\n
