Reject trouble makers- Freda Prempeh

Ms.Freda Prempeh, Parliamentary candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in Tano North of  Brong-Ahafo has advised the youth to reject politicians who would want to use them to foment trouble during the electioneering campaign.

She entreated them to be disciplined and adhere to all electoral laws, as well as respect the views of political opponents to ensure peaceful elections in December. Addressing a large number of NPP supporters, sympathizers and activists at a people's forum at Duayaw-Nkwanta to launch her campaign, Mrs. Prempeh emphasized that the future of the country was in the hands of the youth.    

The forum held last Friday was attended by Members of Parliament, national party executives and some former ministers of state. Ms. Prempeh said Election 2012 and future elections would be peaceful if parents consider the proper upbringing and development of their children as a service to God.    

She observed that many parents shirk their responsibilities and do not bring up their children the way they should, which she said had left many of the youth frustrated and helpless.

Ms. Prempeh expressed regret politicians who should help these teeming youth to find something reasonable to do rather capitalise on their vulnerability and herd them into violence for their selfish political gains.   

She emphasized that the NPP believed in providing skill training and quality education as a means to create jobs for the teeming youth to make them self reliant.   

Touching on some of her achievements in the area, Ms Prempeh said through her efforts Krofrom, Subriso number one and Subriso number two, as well as Sukuumu number one and
Sukuumu number two in the area had all been connected to the national electricity grid.   

She said if the NPP was still in power, Santase, Adagyamanu, Onwe, Nkwantabisa, Mamponteng, Nsuapem, Keasuagya and Ahyiayem would also have been hooked to the grid."I have personally supported a number of programmes and projects in the district and donated library books and computers to many of the schools in the area", she added.    

This and a number of achievements, she said was the reason why the people should vote massively for her and Nana Addo Danquah Akuffo-Addo, NPP's flagbearer in the December polls for accelerated development.  

Mrs. Prempeh advised the people to support national development efforts and not allow partisan politics to create enmity amongst them.
