Mr Collins Owusu Amankwaa, Member of Parliament for Manhyia North, has re-affirmed his commitment to providing good and effective leadership to promote the speedy development of the area.

Leadership, he explained was not only the act of leading people to achieve their goals but also being firm and determined on the ground, to achieve whatever objectives needed.

Speaking to the Ghana News Agency in Kumasi, he said since the assumption of office as the MP for the area, he had remained focused despite the numerous challenges, to pursue a development agenda that would help improve the living conditions of the people.

Mr Amankwaa said he was not perturbed by the daunting challenges and clandestine activities by his political opponents to distract him, but would continue to focus on his duties to serve the people of the constituency.

The MP indicated that corruption, coupled with mismanagement in the previous administration, had undermined public confidence in political leaders and this was what he was working to restore and rally the people to work together to promote development in their communities.

Mr Amankwaa stressed the need for the people to come together to support him to develop the constituency.

He said the government was working to support businesses to grow and expand to help generate employment for the youth.
