Parliamentary candidate of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG) in the Manhyia South Constituency, Kwaku Marfo, has promised to complete and commission the Krofrom market in his first 100 days of office if elected.
This initiative was inspired by his inclination to reduce the killing of traders selling on the pavements by vehicles which has been going on for years and boost business activities in Kumasi.
“In my first 100 days, I will make sure the Krofrom market is opened for business activities because I don’t want vehicles to continue killing traders along the pavements,” he said.
Mr. Marfo also communicated his worry about the extent of underdevelopment in the constituency.
In an interview with Orange News after filing his nomination, he stated that even though Manhyia South is the smallest constituency, it has suffered underdevelopment for an unreasonably long time.
He therefore cannot live unconcerned as a resident while the area is being poorly developed.
He said, “With the blood our forefathers shed to claim the land for us, it is time for us to do something. What are we doing to continue? Is it party colors? The answer is no, we must serve the country so that generations to come will benefit from us.”
“Manhyia South has suffered underdevelopment for far too long despite being one of the smallest constituencies. Given this level of poor development, as a resident of the constituency it will be unfortunate for me to sit aloof. I’ve travelled around the world and seen what others have done, so we need to bring such development to Ghana as well,” he added.
He appealed to the constituents to vote massively for him during the upcoming December elections to enhance development and create job opportunities for the residents.
“I’m appealing to the constituents to trust and give me the opportunity to change the narrative. Manhyia South is one of the popular constituencies in relation to the manufacturing of sandals. I will enhance the business and create other opportunities in the constituency,” he noted.
Meanwhile, the Returning Officer of the Electoral Commission in Manhyia South, Isaac Antwi Boasiako said the filing process has been seamless in the constituency.
