Kumasi, Aug 23, GNA - Shalom Complex School at Adabraka, near Pankrono in the Kumasi metropolis, has honoured Dr Anthony Akoto-Osei, Deputy Minister of Finance and Economic Planning for "his tremendous contributions towards the development of his constituency." A citation accompanying the award, which was read at a forum in Pankrono on Sunday, said his winning of the Old-Tafo seat as a Member of Parliament (MP) attested to his good works.
