E/R: Afram Plains North MP Supports Constituents with Skills Training Equipment.




The Member of Parliament for Afram Plains North Constituency in the Eastern Region, Hon. Betty Nana Afua krosbi Mensah who double as the Deputy Ranking Member on Gender, Children and Social Protection as well as a member of the Health Committee of Parliament took it upon herself to initiate apprenticeship programs to help reduce the increasing rate of unemployment and teenage pregnancy in Afram Plains North.

She presented various items including Deep freezers, Hair Dryers, Sewing Machines, pieces of cloth and rubber basins.



A total of 21 young girls recieved Sewing Machines, 10received Hair Dryers, 10women benefited from deep freezers to enhance their fishing activities and promote income generation activities.

According to statistics available at the Girl Child Directorate of GES at Afram Plains North District, the District is the second District in the Eastern region with the highest rate of teenage pregnancy cases.

The young lawmaker described this as unacceptable and inimical to the development of the area hence her response to the issue.

The donation of skills training equipments and the free enrollment of the young girls into apprenticeship will therefore help them learn a trade and create employment opportunities for themselves.

This the MP noted will enable them stay away from unwanted pregnancies to enhance the development of the Afram Plains North constituency.

The deep freezers given to the women on a highly subsidise long purchase basis will enhance their businesses.


Speaking on the theme: "Youth Development and Women Empowerment" at the presentation ceremony held on Easter Sunday, the MP assured that the gesture will be replicated to enable more people benefit.

Hon. Betty Mensah entreated all women in the area to help each other in every small way they can to help alleviate poverty in the area.

The Special Guest of honour and MP for South Dayi Hon Nelson Rockson Kwame Etse Dafeamekpor charged individuals and Corporate institutions to support youth development in their operational areas since government alone cannot bring development.

He urged the beneficiaries to do their best in the payments of the freezers on monthly basis to enable others benefit.


MP for Kpando, Hon. Dela Sowah commended Hon. Betty Krosbi Mensah for her hardwork both in Parliament and in her Constituency and charged the people of Afram Plains North to support her in her quest to deliver more development in the constituency.

I picked on only that Constituency because it is one of the NDC’s strong holds which has lately seen a lot of bashing on the backs of its MP, Joseph Appiah Boateng.  The incumbent on his first attempt did not belong to any branch or obtained a party card but in just 2 months was allowed to contest even with criminal records which the Former General Secretary, Mr. Asiedu Nketia jaws prevy to and made some very genuine claims about this same MP, Joseph Appiah Boateng,Hon. Eric Osei Owusu also contested on similar grounds with no party affliction to branch or bearing a party card.
