The Member of Parliament (MP) for Prestea Huni/Valley, Mr. Francis Adu Blay Koffie, on Wednesday, urged Ghanaians to unite and spearhead development in the New Year.

He said every individual had a major role to play in national development, especially in the areas of education, health and social development.

Mr. Koffie said the country would develop faster if there were unity and tolerance in communities.

The MP said this when he visited some communities in his constituency to wish the people a Merry Christmas and also find out some of the challenges they were encountering.

Mr. Koffie advised the youth in his constituency and the nation at large to learn to offer free services to the aged.

The MP also appealed to all political parties to forgive each other, bury their differences, and seek peace that would strengthen the economy and speed up development.
