Majority Leader of Parliament Osei Kyei Mensa Bonsu says he does not make promises on campaign platforms.

He challenged all to find out from his constituents whether he makes promises when campaigning.

Speaking on TV3’s Hot Issues on Saturday, the Member of Parliament for Suame Constituency says he knows the role an MP plays and so does not go about promising roads and other infrastructure.

For him, his role is to lobby for such projects to be undertaken in his constituency.

“I don’t tell them I am going to construct roads for them because I know that competence I don’t have,” he narrates on the programme.

He said Suame does not have the best of roads currently but he is doing his best to get the government’s attention as infrastructure development has been an area the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government needs to improve upon.

Osei Kyei-Mensa-Bonsu is going for a final term in Parliament as he gives word that the 2020 elections will be his last, hopefully.
