Some residents of Ningo in the Greater Accra Region, have threatened to vote for the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) parliamentary candidate, if delegates of the\u00a0National Democratic Congress (NDC), retain the incumbent MP, \u00a0E.T Mensah as their candidate.<\/p>\n
The residents, who spoke to the Citi FM’S<\/strong>\u00a0campaign trail team, accused their MP of deliberately starving their community of development projects.<\/p>\n [contextly_sidebar id=”Qw5MQndS0zpojqH1mRDzWuaTU8CjQ1oB”]They claim he has sent\u00a0all projects to his home town, Prampram, an accusation the MP has denied.<\/p>\n \u201cWe went to see E.T Mensah to complain about our roads but he did not do anything for us. We are tired of him, we want to change him ,\u201da frustrated resident complained.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do not have jobs and we do not have potable water. Majority of the people in Ningo are saying that if E.T Mensah is retained they are going to vote Skirt and Blouse,” another said.<\/p>\n Mr. E.T Mensah has rejected the accusations, insisting he has been fair to both communities.\u00a0He explained \u00a0that the \u00a0projects in Ningo that have not been tackled are largely the responsibility of the district assembly.<\/p>\n \u201cThese are things that I know, that I hear all the time. I know the Ningo people and those who understand all what is happening. I don\u2019t do district assembly here. We have a district assembly and the things that you are talking about is the responsibility of a district assembly …They have a budget, I do not have a budget\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
