The sitting Member of Parliament for Tema East, Isaac Ashai Odamtten, has come up for heavy praise for efforts he has made to advance education in the constituency since becoming a legislator in 2020.
James Ashimadi, the hardworking vice chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) in Tema East, says the quiet and gentlemanly MP, who is also God-fearing, has managed to help many constituents avail themselves of education, even though he is an opposition MP under a vindictive government of the (NPP). "Thanks to the MP, even the Free SHS that the NPP has been touting as their flagship developmental project is actually being useful to the less privileged in this constituency," he said.
Ashimadi's comment follows the MP's partnership with the Tema East Educational Foundation to distribute 300 chop-boxes to newly admitted Senior High School students.
The generous initiative took place on November 7, 2024, and was purposed to alleviate the financial burden on the parents of children who are going to school.
