Kwabena Okyere Darko-Mensah, the Western Regional Minister, has refuted an assertion that he has received some eight million dollars accruing from the One-million-dollar per constituency proposal by the government over the eight years.
He said, "I am the MP of the constituency, but I can tell you that no eight million dollars has been credited to my account…I am aware of this propaganda by my opponent, but it will not stand ".
Darko-Mensah, also the Member of Parliament for Takoradi, was responding to a question by a concerned member of the constituency at the Parliamentary Dialogue organised by the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) for candidates within the constituency.
In the Takoradi Constituency, the contest is between the incumbent MP, Darko-Mensah, and Fredrick Faidoo, the NDC candidate.
