During an engaging conversation on Starr Chat, the Bantama Lawmaker emphasized that despite his demanding role as a minister at the Works and Housing Ministry, he has consistently made time to address the needs of his constituents.
“When I was given the opportunity to serve I had brought many development projects which many of the people in Bantama believe is unprecedented and never happened before. In terms of development projects and even in terms of community engagement and mobilization it has never happened before,” he stated.
Mr. Asenso-Boakye disclosed that he was the first MP elected for Bantama and right after was appointed a cabinet minister.
“Which means that I had a bigger responsibility that notwithstanding I still had the time to visit my constituency. I am always in Kumasi every weekend. Interacting with the constituents and the general public,” he stated.
Touching on the just-ended parliamentary election the lawmaker stated that he knew he would win the election regardless of the machinations.
“So I believed that I had done a lot of work and knew I could pull an even bigger percentage but it did not happen. Because of the support my opponent had going into the contest,” Mr. Asenso-Boakye stated.
