MP for New Juaben North supports assembly members with street lights

Correspondence from the Eastern Region

On Tuesday, March 3, 2026, the Member of Parliament for New Juaben North Constituency in the Eastern Region, Nana Osei-Agyei, demonstrated purposeful and people-centered leadership through the distribution of street lights to all Assembly Members within the constituency.

The initiative, aimed at enhancing visibility and strengthening security across the various electoral areas, marks yet another practical step toward responsive and inclusive governance.

Street lighting remains a critical component of local development. Beyond illumination, it deters crime, improves road safety, supports evening economic activities, and reassures residents; particularly women, children, and the elderly; of their safety after dusk. By empowering assembly members with street lights, the lawmaker has reinforced the collaborative bridge between the national legislature and the grassroots structures of local governance.

During the presentation, Nana Osei-Agyei underscored a profound principle of leadership that transcends political boundaries. In his words:

“I’m ready to work and support all Assembly members in the constituency irrespective of partisan affiliation to develop the entire constituency for the betterment and in the collective interests of everyone. Development has no political colors and it could only be achieved through collective collaboration and holistic support devoid of partisan differences,” he stated.

On behalf of the assembly members, the Presiding Member, Jacob Antwi, expressed deep appreciation for the gesture.

He assured the Member of Parliament that the street lights would be installed promptly in the respective electoral areas to ensure that the intended purpose: improved security and enhanced community life; is fully realised.

The presentation was graced by key constituency leaders of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), led by the Constituency Chairman, Dr Ernest Oti Akenteng. Their presence signified unity of purpose and reaffirmed the party’s commitment to grassroots development within New Juaben North.

Assemblyman for Gyamfikrom Electoral Area, Daniel Twumasi Kankam, expressed deep appreciation for the timely intervention.

On behalf of the entire constituents of New Juaben North, most especially the good people of Gyamfikrom Electoral Area, he extended his heartfelt gratitude to Nana Osei-Agyei for this thoughtful and impactful support.
