Nii Tema was full of praise for the Member of Parliament for Tema East for his continuous support for the people of Tema during their Kpelejoo and Homowo festivals. He said the MP has been phenomenal in their festive celebrations since he tool office in 2013 and that the Members of Parliament for Tema Central and West should emulate him. Addressing the media, he discounted claims that the traditional council do not have a cordial relationship with the MP and Deputy Minister of Transport. He said that the MP has always swiftly responded to their call when need be.
"We sometimes disagree with him on issues but at the end we resolve amicably. The teeth sometimes bite the tongue even though they work together. It is in every institution. That doesn't mean that we fight or our relationship is not cordial." Nii Tema.
