The 2016 parliamentary candidate lauded the Federation of the Disabled for honouring her invitation stressing that if given the nod, she was going to better the lot of persons with disabilities.

"Its time we all come together especially of us who are aspiring for leadership positions and those who have been entrusted with political, religious and traditional position to ensure that we assist and encourages the valuables like persons with disabilities, widows widowers and the aged .

I would like to call on members of the Ghana Federation of the Disabled to vote massively for me as your Member of Parliament for Agona West constituency and Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo as President on November 7,2016"

Mrs. Morrison was not happy that persons with disabiolity have been sidelined blaming President John Dramani Mahama led NDC government for the present plight of persons with disabilities. She record that during the NPP regime under former President John Agyekum Kuffour, enough funds were made available to better the lives of Ghanaians including the disabled persons in the society.

The Agona West constituency 1st Vice Chairman of the NPP, Mr. Tanko Toye stated that the NPP government under Nana Addo Dankwa Akuffo Addo would eradicate corruption that has engulfed the country thus making the people poorer and poorer as a results of bad governance.

"Those of us in the Agona West constituency knows the track record of Mrs. Cynthia Morrison so there is no doubt that she will recapture the seat for the NPP come November 7, 2016. I will therefore call on NDC supporters and sympathizers who are disappointed in President John Mahama and the NDC government to vote massively for Mrs. Morrison and Nana Addo to help reshape the economic situation of the country.

...It is an open secret that Ghanaians are crying for Nana Addo and the NPP to come and rescue them from their economic woes. Everything has become too expensive. People can't pay for utility bills left alone have three square meals for their families left alone pay expensive school fees The only option for now is to vote President Mahama and the NDC government out of power" Mr Tanko Toye indicated.

Mr. Kofi Asante, the Chairman of the Agona West Municipal branch of the Ghana Federation of the Disabled on behalf of the Federation lauded Mrs. Cynthia Morrison for the kind gesture.
