The Member of Parliament (MP) for Sekondi, Blay Armah Nyameke has led Chinese investors to his constituency to reconstruct the deplorable Sekondi market.
Reaffirming his commitment to fulfilling his social contract with his constituents, the Sekondi Legislator is optimistic that the Sekondi community will experience a significant social and economic revival, driven by the growing interest from investors.
According to him, the constituency is poised to receive substantial investments, which would help restore its former glory. This is attributed to the strategic efforts being made to create an investor-friendly environment in the area.
As the MP, Armah Blay, who defeated Andrew Egyapa Mercer in the 2024 parliamentary election, is keen on ensuring that his constituents benefit from the economic growth and development that these investments would bring.
The MP’s desire to uplift the image of Sekondi appears to be a welcome development for the people of Sekondi, who are eager to see positive changes in their community.
The Member of Parliament is optimistic about Sekondi’s future during an interview on the sidelines of an investment meeting held at the Western Regional Coordinating Council (WRCC) on February 18, 2025.
The delegation, which was led by Lawyer Blay Nyameke Armah, brought together key stakeholders, including Chinese partners from Jiangsu Zhenhuai Construction Group Company Limited.
The lawmaker expressed confidence that Sekondi would experience resurgence as a thriving social and economic community, thanks to the ongoing efforts.
This development is likely to have a positive impact on the local economy, creating new opportunities for growth and development.
“As we promised, we are going to bring investors to help develop Sekondi. Today, we brought in some investors from China that are going to invest in Sekondi,” he said.
Explaining the specific role the Chinese investors would play, he said “They are going to rebuild the Sekondi market and expand the Naval and Police Hospitals to improve healthcare delivery.”
According to the MP, “both hospitals are too small to accommodate patients or to service the growing population of the constituency.”
Aside the aforementioned, he said the Chinese would also consider investing in the fisheries sector of the local economy considering the fact that fishing is the main stay of the people and mainstream business in Sekondi
“We brought them to come and also invest in the fishing harbour” he announced adding, “We also promised you fishing vessels, they are coming. We will deliver them by 2027.”
Meanwhile, the Chinese investors, led by Li Gang, have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Western Regional Coordinating Council (WRCC) led by Joseph Nelson.
