Mr Yaw Frimpong Addo, Member of Parliament (MP) for Manso Adubia in the Ashanti Region, has dismissed allegations that he neglected his constituents after the 2024 general elections, describing the claims as inaccurate, misleading, and unfair.
Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in a telephone interview, the MP explained that his reduced public visibility in recent months was due to health challenges.
He clarified that his condition was well known to key stakeholders in the constituency, including party executives, traditional authorities, and opinion leaders, and stressed that his temporary absence should not be misconstrued as a failure to discharge his duties.
Mr Frimpong Addo assured constituents that his health was steadily improving and that he would soon fully resume his parliamentary and constituency engagements.
He emphasised that his commitment to the development of Manso Adubia remained firm and unchanged, noting that his office had continued to operate effectively through close coordination with constituency staff and relevant stakeholders.
According to the MP, efforts to address pressing challenges in the constituency had remained ongoing, with particular focus on education, healthcare delivery, road infrastructure, and sports development.
He said these sectors remained central to his development agenda and continued to receive attention despite his temporary setback.
To demonstrate his commitment to education, Mr Frimpong Addo cited recent educational support extended to more than 400 senior high school students across the constituency.
The support, which was presented on his behalf, he said, reflected his long-standing dedication to improving access to quality education and supporting the academic aspirations of young people in Manso Adubia.
The MP reaffirmed his resolve to remain accessible and responsive to the needs of his constituents, describing his mandate as a sacred trust bestowed on him by the people.
He appealed for patience and understanding as he completed his recovery, assuring residents that he remained focused on providing effective representation and driving sustainable development in the constituency.
