Provision of permanent Constituency offices will improve MP-community engagement- OPK proposes
Davis Ansah Opoku also known as OPK, MP for Mpraeso, has proposed the establishment of permanent Constituency offices to strengthen MPs’ engagement with their constituents.
Addressing Parliament, Mr. Opoku noted that the lack of structured platforms for interaction often disconnects MPs from their communities.
“Constituency offices will help MPs address concerns, communicate achievements, and build stronger relationships with constituents,” he said.
Mr. Opoku called for the revival of plans to construct constituency offices nationwide, proposing interim measures such as leasing private office spaces or using facilities within MMDAs.
He stressed the importance of equipping these offices with logistical support and professional staff to improve service delivery.
“This initiative will enable MPs to focus on their legislative duties while reducing the pressure to deliver development projects, which is beyond their mandate,” he added
