The Chiefs and people of Osino in the Fanteakwa South District of the Eastern Region have been given significant relief with the commissioning of a new market square in the area.
The market square was inaugurated by key stakeholders of the district, including the District Chief Executive (DCE), Ernest Ofosu; the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Kofi Okyere Agyekum (popularly known as Arafat); and the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) parliamentary candidate for the 2024 elections, Duke Ofori Atta.
Speaking at the commissioning, DCE Ernest Ofosu highlighted that the Osino Market Square project was initiated by his predecessor, Nana Kwasi Nntori Adjabeng and that he had taken up the project to ensure its completion.
He mentioned that market women had requested improvements, including access to water, a toilet facility, storerooms, and a bathroom. He assured them that all their needs were met in the newly completed market to ensure their comfort while conducting business.
Ernest Ofosu further noted that the NPP government, led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, has greatly benefited the people of Fanteakwa South, especially Osino, the district capital, with numerous development projects.
The MP, Arafat, on his part, emphasized the NPP government’s commitment to supporting businesswomen across the country.
He mentioned that Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has promised, in his manifesto, to establish a Women Development Fund if elected as President of Ghana, which would provide financial support to women entrepreneurs without interest charges.
“Former President John Dramani Mahama says there is famine in the country and asked Ghanaians whether they are able to buy *Konkontey or Kenkay* meanwhile he has not stated a single thing he would do to solve the hardship if he wins the 2024 election and indicates that such a person doesn’t deserve to become President again because all his ideas are archaic and have nothing new to offer Ghanaians,” said Arafat.
Arafat furthered and urged Ghanaians to instead vote for Dr. Bawumia, who promised to create jobs for the youth and work towards a prosperous Ghana.
Additionally, the NPP Parliamentary Candidate, Duke Ofori Atta, commended the outgoing MP, Arafat, for his dedication and leadership in securing infrastructure projects for the benefit of Fanteakwa South.
