“We, the governing body of the New Patriotic Party in Sefwi Akontombra Constituency, are giving our MP up to 28th of this month to boycott Parliament and return to the Constituency to defend his seat since we is now powerless in doing so, as a result of the Regional Minister and Chairman, disrespecting our authority as executives and their well-designed plan to unseat you as a member of Parliament”.

“How could a Regional Minister and Chairman, having respect for their Member of Parliament, District Chief Executive, as well as party executives, reinstate a legally abrogated school feeding contract in the District without consulting the Member of Parliament, the District Chief Executive as well as the Constituency executives who took that decision?
“How can a regional chairman form anti-constituency executives group as well as anti-MP group in Akontombra constantly fight against the very Member of Parliament who is in the house, defending the government businesses?
“Why should the Member of Parliament continue to stay in the house if there is no peace in his Constituency?”
