Giving Cape Coast North an Astro turf would be a dream come true – Dr. Minta Nyarku

The Member of Parliament for Cape Coast North Constituency, Dr Kwamena Minta Nyarku has stated categorically that, Cape Coast North Constituency would have an Astroturf before the 2024 elections.

This is in fulfillment of a promise he made a few years back when touring his constituency. Speaking on Live 107.5 FM, on Tuesday, March 26, 2024 as part of his accounting to his constituents radio tour, he intimated that the “Astroturf for Cape Coast North would be constructed this year before the 2024 elections and my constituents can look out for it”, Ragga as he is popularly known, revealed.

The issue of an Astroturf has become a political issue within the constituency ever since he made mention of it. The Nana Akufo-Addo government had initiated a policy of one constituency, one Astroturf but from the look of things, “it appears the government is focussing only on constituencies with NPP MPs. As a result of this, I’m compelled to raise resources to help my constituents also get an Astroturf to improve sporting development”, the MP stated.

Again, he clarified that regarding the Astroturf, he put a question to the sector Minister on the floor of parliament. “The answers from the minister depict that the government didn’t have any policy blueprint regarding the Astroturf construction in my constituency, hence my decision to do it myself”.

Ragga in concluding his remarks on Live FM took the opportunity to thank everyone who has supported, believed and continues to support and still believe in “the Ragga Brand and Movement” to continue to do so, emphasising that “I am grateful for your prayers, good counsel, logistical and financial support”. “God-willing by the time the elections are conducted in December 2024, the Astroturf would be done”, he ended.
