NDC MP urges calm as party works to fulfill promises

THE Member of Parliament for the Ledzekuku Constituency, Nii Nortey Dua, has called on supporters of the National Democratic Congress [NDC] nation wide to be calm and confident as the government puts in place the needed structures to fulfil the promises made during the 2008 electioneering.
He said, the NDC was very appreciative of the support they got from the electorate during the elections and would do its possible best to improve on the living standard of Ghanaians.
Speaking during a thanksgiving rally at Teshie on Sunday, Nii Nortey said, “now that the elections are over we must forget about the NDC, NPP factions in the constituency, rather “let us come together in unity to make Teshie and its environs a better place to live in”.
“I have come this far because of your support, your trust in me and the fact that I am capable of changing the fortunes of the constituency,” he indicated.
The MP, later told the Daily Graphic that he had already contacted some NGOs in Canada, Germany and UK who have expressed their readiness to help in the development of the Ledzekuku constituency.
On the water situation in Teshie, Nii Nortey said, he had contacted the Ghana Water and Sewage Corporation and the Teshie Water Board who have also promised to help solve the problem.
“My initial investigations on the water situation in the community revealed that previous MPs did not have the needed political will to change the situation,” adding that with the help of experts in the field he would be able to improve the situation.
Commenting on roads in the Teshie township which is noted for its traffic jam all day, the MP said that other linking roads in the constituency would be made functional to ease traffic congestion.
He also said he would in the next few months form an interactive platform to be known as the Ledzekuku Parliament explaining that “there is the need for me to go back to the very people who voted for me, have a better understanding of their problems and help in solving them”.
Nii Nortey also expressed his appreciations to all the previous MPs in the constituency and said that their experiences would be a useful lesson during his tenure as an MP.
