Needless attacks on Eugene Arhin changes nothing

Needless attacks on Eugene Arhin changes nothing
02.12.2022 LISTEN

The communicators of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the Awutu Senya West Constituency have recently resorted to attacking the personality of the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Mr Eugene Arhin.

A critical examination of the stories they put out there, however, shows that they are on a mission of causing him to lose the affection of the good people of Awutu Senya West, whom he has been doing his best to affect their lives positively.

Nonetheless, this strategy is poorly orchestrated and executed without any tact and will end up costing them dearly. This stems from the fact that Awutu Senya West electorates are the smart type who will not easily fall for the propaganda of inexperienced communicators with acidic mouths.

In one of their weak attempts to soil the reputation of Mr Arhin, they blamed him for the poor performance of the staff at the Awutu Senya West District Assembly. Due to the inability of the key staff of the Assembly to organise and submit relevant reports to the appropriate quarters, the Assembly could not pass the 2021 District Performance Assessment Test (DPAT).

This therefore, cost the Awutu Senya West District Assembly a World Bank Grant. Instead of them to call for accountability from the Assembly, they rather blamed Mr Arhin who has introduced a number of projects in the District.

The truth, however, remains that no matter how they attempt to soil the reputation of Mr Arhin, he remains in the hearts and minds of the electorates as the person who built a three unit classroom block for the children of Obodakaba. In fact, the Chiefs and people of Obodakaba knows him as the man who gave their children access to quality basic education and no amount of orchestrated communist inferior propaganda can change that.

These NDC communicators can go every length to tarnish the hard won reputation of the man whose name has become a household name in the constituency. Nevertheless, the people of Awutu Beraku will forever remember him for one thing. He built for their children, a modern Liberary and ICT Centre.

They are at liberty to continue with their false and poorly orchestrated propaganda against Mr Arhin but the people of Senya Beraku know him as the man who provided their children at Senya Senior High School (SHS) with mechanised borehole to enable them get safe drinking water. They also take him for a lobbyist who lobbied for their wards at Sensec to get a 65-seater bus. Above all, they will forever remain grateful to him for lobbyiing the Presidency to construct their main road, the Akoti Junction-Senya Beraku Road.

The lies against him can continue but the people of Obrachire will forever remember him as the man who provided the school children of Obrachire Secondary Technical School with a mechanised borehole.

For the people of Bawjiase, Mr Eugene Arhin is known as the doer of the undone. They will forever be grateful to him for lobbyiing for the construction of the Bawjiase-Ofaakor Road. The same applies to the people of Papase and all the towns on that stretch.

It is clear from this evidenced-based opinion piece that the attacks on the personality of Mr Eugene Arhin by the Cassius Otto Larbie NDC-led communication team changes nothing about the good works of the selfless politician.
