The Member of Parliament of Sunyani East, Seid Mubarak, has issued a firm warning to party officials in his constituency against any potential plans to extort constituents during job recruitments.
According to him, he will ensure the arrest and prosecution of any official found guilty of extortion, particularly if there is mass recruitment, specifically into the security agencies.
Speaking on TV XYZ on January 15, 2025, the lawmaker said, "God willing, if as an MP I get a slot to probably present names of five people for recruitment into the security agencies, and I send the list to the officials in Sunyani to oversee and organise qualified individuals but use the opportunity to extort such persons, I will personally get the person arrested, irrespective of how they relate to me." Mubarak explained that his constituents voted him into power without making any demands or accepting payments from him, and as such, he feels obligated to ensure their development and the progress of the constituency.
He added that he intends to give back to his constituency freely, emphasising that they are entitled to it.
