Some Teachers in the Ketu South constituency are urgently calling on their MP, Hon Dzifa Gomashie, to intervene as poor infrastructure continues to disrupt learning.
In a painful video recorded by a teacher, students were seen running for shelter as rain poured through their makeshift classroom structures.
In the viral video shared the students who were being taught under trees were interrupted as they were alerted to come inside, as it was about to rain.
The student hurriedly carried their desk and ran into a school building.
Some students were also spotted running in the heavy downpour to get their belongings.
Speaking in the viral video, a Teacher at the school stated, “Hey, hurry up and come in, it is about to rain, these are the things we have been going through on the school campus. They are not coming to work for us, we beg. Where is our MP? We beg you, MP, come and help us. We are going to die”.
Meanwhile, Abla Dzifa Gomashie, the Minister for Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts and Member of Parliament for Ketu South, has said her constituency deserves a Tertiary Institution.
According to Dzifa Gomashie, one of the reasons why she fought hard for the NDC to win the 2024 election is so she will be able to push for a Tertiary Institution in Ketu South.
Speaking to Bola Ray of Starr Chat, Abla Dzifa Gomashie stated, “The second one will be education, it is a big constituency, but as I speak to you now, I don’t have even one Tertiary Institution in the community, and I am not happy about that.
It is the reason I fought as hard as I could so my party would win, so that I could champion that cause. So, I am not going to relent on it, I am going to push as hard as I can, but we do need a Tertiary Institution in Ketu South”.
Dzifa Gomashie also added that although she is happy to be known as the MP who brings in more votes for the National Democratic Congress, it must reflect the lives of the people in the constituency.
She asserted that dealing with the issues of Ketu South is very daunting and knows her predecessor will agree with her for the constituency to be divided.
According to her, she will push for Ketu South to be divided as the constituency is too huge.
Dzifa Gomashie, “Division of the Constituency, I think it should be divided. I am happy to be known as the person who brings in the biggest vote and all of that, but it must reflect in the lives of the people.
I will champion the division of the constituency because it is too large, and dealing with the issues that come with it is really daunting. I know from the bottom of my heart that all the MPs before me will attest to this fact”.
“It is a nice feeling to say I come with the votes, but for the sake of the people, I would rather the people benefit than to have personal glory for bringing the big votes, so what?”, she added.
When asked about her three main issues she wants to tackle and be known for, Dzifa Gomashie added, “I have said this in the constituency so many times, the human resources that I have there, their development is my most pressing need.
The Children of Ketu South, the youths of Ketu South, the women, and everybody within the space have the opportunity to improve upon who they are and where they are.
All the lists you gave me gave me a bittersweet feeling, because I have the opportunity to explore, I wish the same for Ketu South and the people in it”.
