East Akim municipal assembly has thrown a challenge to the NPP member of parliament for Abuawa north, hon. Joseph Boakye Danquah Adu to come out and show a single structure or project he has initiated at the Akim Tafo market as he has already put across in the media. According to the assembly, there is no truth in the MP’s claim that he has invested four hundred thousand cedis in the construction of the market as nothing can be shown for that expense.
Municipal chief executive of east Akim, Simon Peter Asirifi made this known at a press conference held at Akim Tafo market to respond to claims by the MP that he is the facilitator of the construction of Tafo market, construction of Tafo town roads as well as the services of the ambulance service at the Tafo government hospital.
Mr. Asirifi in his statement stated emphatically that all the above-mentioned projects are being initiated by the government of Ghana and the municipal assembly and not the member of parliament. He expressed worry how the MP normally come out to make such claims whiles he knows he has nothing to do with such projects and has however cautioned him to desist from such pronouncement and also adviced him to stop politicising developmental projects in the constituency.
The MCE said the assembly has putting down lots of projects in the area and as the president of the municipality he has promised to do his best to develop the constituency no matter the political challenges the assembly faces. “The assembly is committed to develop this constituency and nothing is going to stop us from achieving our aim” he added.
Mr. Simon Asirifi also appealed to the market women to appreciate the efforts of government and the assembly to uplift the image of the market and not allow themselves to be deceived by the MP who wants to achieve political credibility. He warned that there can never be total development in the area if market women and the general do not desist from playing politics with development projects in the area.

Mr. Asirifi called on people in the municipality to have confident in his outfit as lots of projects are expected to initiated to develop th
