He pointed out that his experience as a Member of Parliament in Kwadaso has given him a clear understanding of the problems on the ground and the concerns expressed by party activists.
“I have a very clear understanding of the problems on the ground because I have been a Member of Parliament in Kwadaso here in Kumasi so I understand the concerns expressed by activists on the ground.”
