A parliamentary hopeful of the New Patriotic Party in the Sekondi constituency, Benjamin Paa Kwesi Moses has pledged to lead an industrial driven agenda that would rapidly accelerate the development of Sekondi, if he becomes the MP.
The intended development agenda, he explained, would be spearheaded by the youth in the constituency to turn the fortunes of Sekondi around to improve the standard of living among the constituents.
Speaking to the media, as part of his engagement with the delegates to canvass for votes, ahead of the primaries, ‘Sekondi Moses’ stated that transformation of Sekondi would be his topmost priority if he becomes the MP.
He said: “I am particularly focused on the youth because they will be our leaders in the near future so once we develop them, they will come back and develop the constituency”.
He hinted of a strategic development agenda that he intended to set in motion to trigger the rapid development of the area to the benefit of the constituents and, therefore, called on the delegates to trust him with their votes.
“All I need is the blessing of the delegates to lead the party and go to parliament to represent them as their MP. My ideas will definitely benefit all and make our constituency great.
As a business man, I am well connected with a lot of both local and foreign business partners who will gladly welcome my innovative ideas that could transform Sekondi when I get to parliament,” he stated.
Vision for the youth
According to the “Moses of Sekondi”, youth development would be high on his priority table once he eventually gets elected as the Member of Parliament for the area.
“I desire to help develop the youth in skills and vocational training so that each and every youth would be able to have their own businesses as a means to reduce unemployment among our brothers and sisters.
My tailor charges me GH₵1,200 per every dress he sews for me so imagine the amount of money he will make if he does this for about seven people in a month and this is why I am for skill and vocational training for the youth,”he said.
‘Sekondi Moses’ again indicated that the famous Sekondi Market and the Essie Beach would be given attention and fully renovated to meet modern standard and also facelift the Gyandu Park at Sekondi.
“For the Party, I will build a new party office which will create a convenient environment where our constituency executives would work comfortably for the development of our party and the constituency in general,” he added
In his bid to become victorious to represent his party in the general elections later this year, Benjamin Paa Kwesi Moses has been engaging the party delegates ahead of the constituency primaries slated for January 27th
Following his humility and the substance of his core message to the delegates, he has been nicknamed the ‘Moses of Sekondi’, as they expect him to come with innovative ideas that would improve their lives.
Responding to this, Mr Moses said: “Well it means that they have seen something good in me and there’s no doubt about that. Everyone needs someone to support their progress in life.
“Every constituency also needs an individual or dedicated individuals to move it forward therefore I am glad that the people already see me as such and trust me, I won’t disappoint them if they repose their confidence in me”, he said.
‘Sekondi Moses’ has previously worked for the party as a constituency driver, polling station youth organiser, constituency youth organiser, a member of the communications team and deputy Western Regional youth organiser.
