The Member of Parliament for Manhyia South and the Minister of Energy, Dr Matthew Opoku Prempeh is accusing journalists in Kumasi for taking bribes from some groups to make the ruling government unpopular in its stronghold.
Even though, he did not name the media houses of those media persons, he said, “journalists have taken money and they sit on radio to insult the government and the officials.”
According to him, “their plan is to make the NPP unpopular in the Ashanti Region but the government is doing well in the region.”
Addressing the chiefs and people of Suame in Kumasi during the sod cutting for the construction of a 4-tier interchange, he argued the NPP is the only political party in the country that can transform the region.
He appealed to residents and people of Ashanti Region to be grateful to the ruling government on the numerous projects currently ongoing in all parts of the region.
“Even God who created us requests for thanks from us anytime he does something good for us, he said,” he said.
He chastised those who use the absence of the Suame interchange to accuse the ruling NPP government of not developing Ashanti Region by saying, “Suame, other roads and infrastructure have been spread throughout the region.”
