Suame spare dealers apologize to MP over attack on the latter.The leadership of the Suame Magazine spare parts dealers as well as other allied bodies have rendered an unqualified apology to the MP for Suame for their attack on him.
You will recall that some irate members among the group went to the extreme of pelting the honorable Osei Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu with sachet water. This was when he attempted to engage the them to explain what had caused the delay in fixing roads at Suame enclave in Kumasi.
The group at the press conference held last Friday at Suame condemned the action of the irate youth. The Chairman of the Ashanti Regional Chapter of the Ghana Union of Traders Association (GUTA) who address the press said the attack on the MP was rather unfortunate. This he added was because of how the MP had contributed towards the development of the area.
“We least expected that some miscreants among us could go to this length and embarrass both leadership and the MP of the area.
“We condemn the actions by those cowards who took advantage of the situation to attack the MP of the area,” he said.
Mr Oppong however commended Mr Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu for his swift action in ordering the contractor, Joshob, to move to site to fix the Suame Magazine section of the Kumasi-Offinso road.

One stretch of the road is being fixed with asphalt overlay as the honorable Kye Mensah indicated and that it will ease traffic and the work is expected to be ready by the first week of August this year.
The reason for the delay in fixing of the overlay was because according to the contractor, the company run out of asphalt. The contractor added that it had been able to secure some from Cote d’Ivoire for work to be completed.
There have been a push for an interchange at Suame and the MP who doubles as the Majority Leader and Minister of Parliamentary Affairs is leading Parliament in that regard.They are making a push for a loan facility from Spain for the Suame interchange to commence in September this year.
Many have however argued that the apology by the group is a face saving one for the MP who is the longest serving member of parliament for the ruling party. Pundits have predicted that that singular action by the spare parts dealers is an indication that the legislator should continue hanging his boots in 2024.
