According to the 2022 best performing female award winning MP in Ghana, they have total number of 105km roads network that needed to be constructed in her constituency.

She thus ppealed with the Roads Ministry to come to their aid by helping them get those roads fixed to ensure free movement in the area.

She explained that, the main occupation of the residents of Afram Plains North is the fishing, they don’t have enough school infrastructure that they can take their children to and as a result they have no option than to teach them their handiwork [fishing work] to earn living when they grow up.

This, she said, when the International Communities or some Ghanaians see it they turn it upside down and say Afram Plains North is the Headquarters of child labour or child trafficking and such reportage worry her a lot because is not true
