district so as to improve the living standards of the people.
Hon. Offinam told the delegates that they should
lead lives worthy of emulation so that their people would have trust in them
and vote for those who would want to contest in future district level elections.
He said since the party believes in the rule of law
and democracy it is imperative that those of them who would want to stand for
executive positions in the party would have to follow the due process and
hinted that with the release of the one million dollar fund for each
constituency by the government it would go a long way to help the constituency
in terms of developmental projects and hoped that the
Bechem –Dwomo- Techimantia road network would not be an exception.
The Member of Parliament for Tano South Constituency,
Hon. Benjamin Yeboah Sekyere told the delegates that since a party is a union
and the New Patriotic Party is no exception, there may be some misunderstanding
between members or executives but that should not cause disunity but find an
appropriate way of settling the issue. Hon Sekyere told the delegates that the
government is putting in place measures to get the teeming youth who are
unemployed to get jobs to improve their living conditions and hinted that
government is committed to extend electricity supply to the rural areas.
On the Planting for Food and Jobs Programme, Hon
Sekyere indicated that interventions have been put in place by government to
supply seeds and seedlings free of charge to the farmers and also to distribute
fertilisers at subsidized prices to all districts for purchase.
Hon. Sekyere on his part said he has purchased one
thousand, five hundred (1500) bags of fertilisers for distribution to needy
farmers in the constituency free of charge to supplement their efforts in
acquiring some of the fertilisers.
