The MP who recently was alleged to have deceived his Constituents through a Photoshopped Road Construction which is not in the Constituency on social media by his saboteurs vehemently denied the allegations and rubbished the Press release from the Mpohor Constituency NDC and asked the general public to treat that statement with the contempt it deserves but was happy the Mpohor Constituency NPP Executives had set the records straight.

The DCE informed the media that the President in his visit to the constituency last year cut sod for the Apowa - Benso road to be constructed and work has started with the Contractor currently at site. He continued that the MP toured the construction site recently to inspect the work only for some Facebook bloggers to photoshop a fueling station which is not on the road with the MP standing around and claiming the MP and the DCE are deceiving the general public that the so-called Photoshopped Road is the road the President performed the sod cutting.

The DCE also rubbished the said statement from the opposition NDC's Communication officer in Mpohor Constituency and volunteered by taking media men to the site where truly the Contractor was at site working.
