Alhaji Muntaka Muhammed, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Asawasi and the Minority Chief whip in Parliament, has accused the government of deliberately denying his constituents of development projects because he, the MP, is from the opposition.
He was speaking at a meeting with Christians in the Muslims dominated constituency, which was intended to create a congenial atmosphere for both Christians and Muslims to co-exist peacefully.
Muntaka alleged that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government upon assumption of power in 2017, put all ongoing projects (schools and roads) in the constituency on hold.
He stressed that unlike the NDC, which spread development projects across the length and breadth of the country, the NPP is doing the opposite. He contended that not all areas in the constituency voted for him and NDC, yet the government has decided to punish all of them by denying them projects.
Muntaka called for fair distribution of the national cake for the benefit of all Ghanaians irrespective of the party they voted for.
The MP also called on the NDC supporters and sympathizers to remain united to ensure victory for the party in 2024.
The Christian community that attended the event presented a citation to the Minority Chief Whip for his dedication, commitment and good human relationship especially with the constituents and being a development oriented legislator.
