The Ashaiman Constituency of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has expressed disappointment at being neglected in the appointment of ministers of state.
According to the constituency, they ranked third highest in voting for the NDC in the 2008 election, which added to its victory, and therefore deserved a fair treatment and recognition just as others.
Addressing a press conference on behalf of the constituency, the Constituency Secretary, Baba Ibrahim, explained that during the electioneering, President John Evans Atta Mills promised them at a rally in Ashaiman that if voted into power, he would ensure that they were compensated for their support by appointing their Member of Parliament, Mr Alfred Agbesi, as a minister of state.
He said President Atta Mills had, however, not fulfilled his promise and therefore called on him to remember Ashaiman in his last list of names.
Baba Ibrahim said the people of Ashaiman voted massively during the last elections and even followed up to Tain in the Brong Ahafo Region to support the party.
He noted that the party in Ashaiman had been very loyal and did not rely on the mother party for finances.
The constituency secretary commended MrAgbesi for being a source of support financially in times of difficulties.
Baba Ibrahim said if their concerns were not heeded, members of the party in the constituency would be a laughing stock of their political opponents.
He appealed to the President to honour their MP and appealed to former President Jerry John Rawlings to intercede on their behalf.
