One of them said it is sad that hon Paul Essien has not visited people in Takinta, Adu Suazo amongst other notable communities to witness their accumulated distress since he was elected MP.
They added that MP’s are elected so that they can facilitate development in their areas and wondered why their MP did not bother to visit his electorates.
According to them if there’s a proper bond with the people in Jomoro, Paul Essien will not have to struggle with the opposition NDC party because the NPP in the constituency will always go without any form of tough election competition for the Parliamentary seat.
