Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Parliamentary Candidate of the National Democratic Congress for the Shama Constituency in the Western Region Emelia Arthur has disclosed that the next Mahama government will prioritise the construction of a state-of-the-art fishing harbour and a fish processing plant in the area.<\/b><\/p>\n

Opinion leaders and fishers in Shama appealed to former President John Mahama on his last visit to Anlo Beach, to commiserate with flood victims, to help save the coastline from the ravages of the sea.<\/p>\n

They had complained of how challenging it has become for them to berth their boats due to unpredictable and monstrous weather conditions, with some also having to lose their homes and properties and had requested a solution.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresident Mahama and the NDC understand the fishing industry, the people, their needs and what makes it tick and consistently worked towards that. Indeed, this earned him many names in the different coastal communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am honoured to be part of one of the committees working on the party\u2019s 2024 manifesto, and I assure you that the fishers\u2019 plea has duly been noted after making a strong case for a solution that will not just save the coastline, but also have substantial economic benefits on Shama and its environs,\u201d she told Connect FM on the fringes of a youth rally she organised on Easter Monday to further promote the party\u2019s 24-hour economy strategy promise.<\/p>\n

\u201cShama has, over the years, produced thousands of tons of fish. Its position is strategic, in terms of how it connects to Cape Coast, the Ashanti stretch and the international route to Ivory Coast. However, recent unprecedented weather conditions and very poor supply and availability of fishing inputs such as premix fuel, outboard motors and fishing nets have affected the ability to produce more; So the fishing harbour will be the most ideal solution.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reaction<\/p>\n

A cross-section of residents who attended the youth rally responded to the promise of the fishing harbour, which had earlier been affirmed by the National Communications Officer of the party, Sammy Gyamfi, with extreme enthusiasm.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt least, we can compare the works of former President Mahama and the Akufo-Addo administration, and it\u2019s safe to say I will put my bet on Mahama. So I trust the party when it says it will give us a fishing harbour,\u201d Francis Esaam said.<\/p>\n

Anthony Ehun grew up going to sea with his father and says there has been a sharp decline in fishing activities in Shama due to climate changes, \u201cso a fishing harbour will at least save us from the tidal waves so that we can come and go without any worry. So I will support any party that has seen that and wants to help\u201d and is willing to vote for Emelia Arthur and the NDC.<\/p>\n

Afua Maanam is a bit cautious as she has been left \u201cdisappointed after the Akufo-Addo and his government failed to construct a new hospital for Shama, years, after cutting sod even when the President had insisted that funding is secured.\u201d<\/p>\n

Youth Rally<\/p>\n

Speaker after speaker stressed the need for the youth of Shama to vote for Emelia Arthur and John Mahama as the NDC has proven to be one that can be trusted to provide tailored solutions to the country\u2019s developmental challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cCast your eyes around, and you will see that the monumental projects that employ the majority of people here and sustain the Shama economy were done by the NDC. We have done it before, so we can confidently promise you that we will do as we promise. Is it not sad that the President can disrespect your noble chiefs by inviting them to a function to cut sod for a hospital only for the project to be a white elephant.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo now, it should be clear to the people of Shama that the NPP cannot be trusted,\u201d said Sammy Gyamfi, National Communications Officer of the party.<\/p>\n

Beatrice Annan, a spokesperson for Mr Mahama\u2019s campaign team, explained that the 24-hour economy is one of the flag bearer\u2019s promises of foolproof strategies to solve the alarming youth unemployment.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 24-hour economy promise will guarantee a quick economy recovery, which will allow room for many employment opportunities. The factories, the wholesale and retail markets, and many others will run day and night. They will need workers for night shifts, which hitherto was not popular. Imagine how many people will be employed for night shifts.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe word Parliament derives from the French word parler, meaning to talk and discuss things. So, you need someone outspoken and outgoing to articulate and fight for things for Shama, and not someone who is not seen and keeps to himself. Again, the national kitty is small and what this means is, you will need a representative who has strong negotiation skills to be able to make strong cases for you, just as Emelia Arthur has done with the fishing harbour. You also can bear testimony to what she was able to do during her tenure as the DCE and deputy regional minister. So Emelia Arthur is Shama\u2019s surest bet and will encourage and urge you to vote for her and John Mahama,\u201d former Deputy Minister for Communication Felix Kwakye Ofosu appealed.<\/p>\n
