A founding member and Chairman of the New Patriotic Party in Germany Mr. Samuel Henry Dwamena-Yeboah has stated that he is committed to facilitate basic infrastructure development to boost farming activities and agro industry in the Abirem constituency of the Birem North District in the Eastern Region.

Mr. Dwamena-Yeboah who had gone through the parliamentary vetting process without any issue to dent his outstanding stewardship in the NPP was of the view that farming is the main occupation of the people in the constituency who cultivate citrus and oil palm in large scale but due to the poor state of roads, most of their produce are left to go waste with no means of processing the surplus.

He stressed that his immediate plan is to establish a citrus processing plant at Akose, one of the big towns in the constituency to process the abundant oranges for export and local consumption, adding that most of the youth in the area will be employed.

The MP aspirant also noted that the small scale mining activities which have gained prominence in the area should be regulated and organised well to get the miners and other stakeholders involved to ensure proper security, safety and the use of efficient logistics to secure the lives of those who depend on the job as their only means of livelihood.

He said he is confident to succeed in the quest to develop the area because of the encouragement given him by the chiefs, opinion leaders and the people over the years through numerous assistance he has offered them.
