In an exclusive interview with the Parliamentary Candidate, Hon. Felix Adofo, disclosed that his executives would draft a policy that would mainly focus on Sports, Agricultural and Infrastructural Development.
“I have together with my executives brought up some good policies which would focus on the needs of my people in the constituency.
“The first one will be sports, as a constituency, we don’t have any football team here, so I would liaise with football experts both home and abroad to see a possible creation of a football team, because most the youths are talented and there is a need to establish a team that would help discover more talents for our national teams,” he said.
He also stated that, in order for the constituency to grow and develop, he would also implement Agricultural policies.
“The constituency has a lot of fertile lands, so I will make sure we utilise all these fertile lands and make sure we plant and produce quality foods for exportation to other foreign countries, this, I am sure, would also help the country to earn enough income and boost the economy.
“We would train farmers in order to abreast their knowledge on the need of providing quality food items and other important training,” Hon. Felix Adofo stated.
“In terms of infrastructural developments, I would make sure we provide, build quality and affordable social amenity centres across the constituency, such as polyclinics, schools, libraries including others.
“Our roads and drainage systems would be attended to in order to make lives more comfortable and pleasant for the people during rainy seasons. I would together with my executives provide accessible working relations to my constituents. And I am confident that all these will be achieved if Ghanaians choose the better party,” He stressed.
