The National Democratic Congress (NDC) member of parliament (MP) for Krowor Constituency, Dr. Agnes Naa Momo Lartey has applauded Mahama’s commitments and vision towards fishing communities.
Dr. Lartey speaking through her Facebook wall, expressed profound gratitude to the NDC Flag Bearer, John Dramani Mahama for his plans and policies he intends to implement for Fishing Communities when elected President again.
“I am heartened and encouraged by the pledges made by the Flag Bearer of NDC, His Excellency John Dramani Mahama, during his visit to the Canoe Wharf area of the Tema fishing Harbor. To revive the fishing industry is a beacon of hope for our community.” She said.
Speaking at the event, the former President and the flag bearer of NDC assured the Fisher folks that the next NDC government will ensure the timely delivery of essential supplies such as premix fuel and outboard motors to the landing beach communities. This assurance according to Dr. Lartey will bring reliefs and respite for the fishing industry especially Tema enclave.
Hon Naa Momo also applauded Mahama promise to exempt artisanal fishing from closed- season policy.
“Promise to exclude artisanal fishing from closed-season policy is a thoughtful decision which perfectly aligns with the views of fisherfolks at the Nungua landing beach since the closed season policy started. “The exclusion of artisanal fishing will protect the livelihoods of our small-scale fishermen who depend on year-round fishing activities to support their families and contribute to the local economy.”
Dr. Lartey further expressed confidence in the person of John Dramani to deliver on his promises and call on the rank-and-file NDC to show commitment towards NDC resolve to recapture power come December 7th 2024.
“I am confident that under his leadership, our fishing industry will experience the much-needed resurgence, bringing prosperity and stability to the people of Krowor and beyond.”
“As the representative of a proud fishing constituency, Krowor, I stand ready to support these initiatives, and to work together with all stakeholders to ensure the successful implementation of these vital measures.”
