After barely three months in office, Berekum West Member of Parliament (MP) Dickson Kyere Duah, popularly known as ‘Stutgard,’ has engaged key stakeholders in the constituency to address pressing issues.
The session provided an opportunity for the MP to answer questions, receive suggestions, and gain credible insights into the challenges facing the area.
Several challenges were highlighted during the engagement, requiring urgent attention. These included the abandoned Berekum-Sampa trunk road, employment opportunities for the youth, educational facilities, health infrastructure, and agricultural concerns.
The MP reiterated his commitment to follow up and ensure the completion of the road project, and he assured the community that he would lobby for more job opportunities for the area’s unemployed youth.
Mr. Duah also revealed that he had made contact with several ministries to ensure the constituency receives its fair share of development.
Former Odododiodio MP Edwin Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, who was also present, assured the constituency that roads, especially those leading to farms, would be maintained with DRIP machines to enhance food security.
He also reaffirmed the government’s plans to establish a cashew processing factory in the Bono and Bono East regions to add value to locally produced cashew and provide employment opportunities for the youth in these areas.
Mr. Duah commended the media for playing a significant role in ensuring a peaceful election during the December polls.
He won the Berekum West seat for the first time for the NDC in the 2024 election, defeating the long-serving Kwaku Agyenim Boateng.
