Member of Parliament (MP) for Gomoa East Constituency, Hon. Desmond De-Graft Paitoo has taken a swipe at his predecessor, Hon. Kojo Asemanyi for inciting some members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to accuse him of "doing nothing" in his first 100 days.
The MP has described the act as a desperate move after the defeat of his predecessor in the 2020 elections. "This desperate move by my predecessor I don't think is unhealthy," he said.
This comes after some NPP folks accused him (Desmond Paitoo) of failing to honour his promise to constituents in his first 100 days in office.
The group alleged that Hon. Asemanyi in his first 100 days among other things lobbied for the construction of some roads including the Safari road in the constituency and supported some constituents in the acquisition of skills training.
However, in a sharp rebuttal, Hon. Desmond said the move is borne out of jealousy and hatred.
"I don't see why Hon. Asemanyi will engage in this jealousy and hatred venture. He was in parliament for four years and I didn't do this, and I don't expect him to engage in this unfruitful venture. And beside throughout my campaign, I didn't make any 100 days promise, after all the competence of an MP is not measured by his first 100 days".
According to him, the claims by the NPP in the constituency in the first 100 days of Hon. Kojo Asemanyi are fabrications and that is an orchestrated move to make him (Hon. Desmond) unpopular.
"The Safari road they talked about began few months to the 2020 general elections. It was a bid to lure voters but failed."
He disclosed that, the former MP, a week ago hurriedly donated some desktop computers to the Ghana Education Service when he held discussions between him (Hon. Desmond) and the GES plans to procure computers to aid their administrative work.
"It is sad to note that Hon. Asemanyi after knowing discussions were far advanced to aid the GES with computers hurriedly procured the computers to the GES. But I have my plans and in the coming days, my constituents will get to know as and when they are rolled out, so Asemanyi can't detect how they should be executed," he told Modernghana News
