He said though he was an MP on the ticket of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), he was there to serve all in the constituency and stressed the need for unity of a purpose to develop the area.

He said Tumu was one with a common goal and appealed to all to join hands to build Tumu to be safe haven for investors to relocate to the area for job creation.

"This office is open to the public. My secretariat would be here and even if I'm in Accra and whoever has an issue must not hesitate to come to the office to complain. Officers will always be here to receive complaints on my behalf during my absence.

“I am also accompanying it with a radio station and you can see the mast, which is almost completed. Very soon Sissalas will be getting a standard radio station that will match every radio station in Ghana and it's going to be one of the best in the North with a wide coverage”, he added.

For the promise of providing a farm mechanization centre, the MP promised it will be done this year and assured the constituents to remain positive.

Mr Chinnia said “There are things that I have been able to do in different front either by myself, common fund or through lobbying, which included; interventions in the educational sector, where I chose to extend a lot of support to increase the human resource base of the constituency.

Dr Hafiz Bin Salih, the Upper West Regional Minister described the project as a novelty and needed to be emulated by other Members of Parliament in the Region.
