Abena Durowaa Mensah

“We will be voting next week, which is the 27th of june . I have a simple message for you all, extend the love shown to me and kennedy Agyapong to the party's candidate in the by-election. I trust you because you keek to your promises. If you vote for us to take back our seat, it is all about development isn't that the case? I am tired of continually hearing from people that because I am not there things are lagging behind. Abena because you are not there things are at a standstill. This is the opportunity to make the change through harles opoku to continue from whee I left off.”

“while the party is yet to decide if she will still be on the ticket to run in the election or not, I remains optimistic .”

“I respectfully call on this House to debate this phenomenon and help push for the creation of a comprehensive policy that could give protection to children on our streets, sanction parents in this exploitation business and help sanitise life on our streets .”

“the attempt by some citizens and now foreigners to exploit this cultural orientation of Ghanaians, and worse of all, employ the services of children in the act, "is worrying, unacceptable and unconscionable.”

“where the entrepreneurs sit either in their homes or under shades created at some corners of the street, and send children onto the streets to beg for money from car owners and passengers, using the natural sympathy that flows for vulnerable children as a weapon for money-making.”

“The number of children being pushed onto the streets keeps increasing by the day with those of Sahelian origin (fair skinned beggars) leading the charge .”

“Also, students in the various SHSs are beginning to understand and appreciate the study of science and mathematics, whether in the urban or rural areas”

“Science and mathematics held the key to the country's development and so it was crucial to channel enough resources towards producing more scientists and mathematicians.”
