The veteran Journalist pointed out that developing the human resources in the constituency is crucial for national development. He added that educated population fuels innovation, job creation, and overall economic growth. He, however, stated that there have been no efforts over the years to improve the living conditions of the citizens of the constituency.

“I’ve not see any extraneous hard effort to improve the conditions of the people in terms of education,health after 38 years of living in my constituency”. He mentioned.

Kenneth Adjei Kuranchie is a popular figure in the New Patriotic Party who has contested the Okaikwei North Parliamentary Candidature three times and has unfortunately lost on all occasions. The current Parliamentary candidate is Nana Ama Dokua.
