Kpone (GA/R), July 19, GNA- The Member of Parliament (MP) for Kpone/Katamanso, Nii Joseph Laryea Afotey-Agbo, on Wednesday said, he had so far spent a total of 490 million cedis to improve the well being of his constituents in all sectors of the economy. According to him, since he assumed the position of an MP, all the money generated from his share of the Common Fund, GetFund and government's Internally Generated Proceeds (HIIC funds) went into education, health, social amenities and farming.

Mr Afotey-Agbo was reacting to a media report, that he is not known by most of the constituents among other allegations at Kpone, which was organised by the National Democratic Congress executives of the constituency, He said part of the funds meant for education went into the purchasing of exercise books, furniture and the construction of a canteen for some basic schools.

The rest, he said was used to procure electric poles, water storage tanks, a generator for the Michel Camp health post and street lights.

He said beneficiary communities of the projects include Kpone, Santoe, Zeenu, Appolonia, Kubebro Number One, Kamatamso, Gbetsile, Golf City, Saki, Nsrehu, Oyibi, Saduase, Nanamon and Okushibi. "I am always in close contact with my people in all the communities to know their needs, irrespective of their party affiliations", he stated, adding that, he also disbursed money to farmers to plough their land. He advised the constituents against spreading false information, but rather always endeavour to seek the truth when in doubt, in order to ensure continued peace and progress.

Nii Afotey-Agbo appealed to the Tema Municipal Assembly (TMA) and the Department of Urban Roads to channel resources into reconstruction of roads in the area.

The MP called on the TMA to release documents of some MPs to enable them access their share of the Common Fund to undertake projects, saying, delays normally raise concern among the constituents.
