A group of passionate pupils have visited their Member of Parliament at the Parliament House in Accra. The Otuam International School (OTIS), as part of their study of parliamentary democracy and to gain practical insight into how Ghana’s legislative arm operates, paid a visit to their MP, Hon. Dr. Othniel Ekow Kwainoe.

The private basic school is located in Ekumfi Otuam, the hometown of Ghana’s late former President, Professor John Evans Fiifi Atta-Mills. It was a moment of great excitement for the young learners and their teachers as they interacted with the MP. Though not their first visit to Parliament, their enthusiasm and eagerness to meet Dr. Kwainoe were evident.

Hon. Dr. Kwainoe encouraged them to take their studies seriously so that they might grow into responsible and impactful citizens. “I’m confident this experience will inspire them to aim higher and contribute meaningfully to our beloved nation,” he said.

He further urged them to keep in touch with his office for any educational assistance they may require and expressed his appreciation to the teachers for choosing such an experiential approach to learning.

JEA MILLS SHS Sees Road Reshaping and Resurfacing

JEA MILLS SHS Road 

The John Evans Atta-Mills Senior High School in Ekumfi Otuam of Ghana’s Central Region, has recently seen its access road receive a much-needed facelift, thanks to Hon. Dr. Othniel Ekow Kwainoe, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Ekumfi Constituency.

Since the school’s establishment in 2015/2016, the road leading to JEA Mills has been in a poor state, marked by potholes and sections eroded by rain. Although the road remains untarred, it serves as the only route to the school. Its deplorable condition has often deterred students from attending classes especially during the rainy season, while the dust during the dry season has made breathing difficult.

Dr. Kwainoe’s intervention to resurface and reshape the road forms part of his broader commitment to addressing the challenges faced by students and teachers. His efforts are aimed at improving accessibility and hopes to ultimately fix and tar the road, along with others across the Ekumfi Constituency.

He believes that, the road leading to a school built and named in honour of the late Prof. John Evans Atta-Mills, Ghana’s President from 2009-2012, should be in better condition and vowed to do everything within is power to maintain and enhance its standards.

Dr. Kwainoe is contesting the upcoming December 7, 2024 elections, seeking to win the Ekumfi Parliamentary seat.
