The Member of Parliament for Effutu constituency, Hon. Alexander Kwamena Afenyo-Markin says he will continue to protect the sacred forest and any properties belonging to his constituents.
The Effutu MP comments comes after some residents believed to believed NDC supporters alleged that the sacred forest used in the hunting of deer during the annual Aboakyire festival has been sold to some investors by government for lithium mining.
However, speaking at a ‘NPP all white Peace walk’, Mr. Afenyo-Markin dismissed such claims, promising the NPP will do everything to protect all Effutu properties even if he is longer their MP for many years to come.
“If there is a party that can protect the properties of Effutu, it is the NPP and no other party. And me Kwamena Afenyo-Markin, I will make sure to protect everything that belongs to Simpa from now till I leave the seat and will continue doing that even when I am no more your MP,” he assured.
Effutu MP also boosted that the NDC’s Parliamentary candidate, Abebrese is a no match for him. According to him, he will give Abebrese a showdown in any political platform.
Mr. Afenyo-Markin urged the people of Effutu to reject the NDC and vote for NPP because they are the only party who can bring development in the constituency.

Meanwhile, in the event that he wins the presidency in the general elections of 2024, former president John Dramani Mahama is urged to pledge to Ghanaians that he will revoke the lithium lease agreement signed by the Akufo-Addo administration.
Ransford Gyampo, a professor at the University of Ghana, called the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer and stated that the agreement was detrimental to Ghana.
Prof. Gyampo called John Mahama because he did not think Parliament would carefully review the lithium deal if it was eventually brought to the House for ratification. Prof. Gyampo had concerns about the amount of money Ghana will receive from the deal.
