“We need to as a matter of national policy dualize all our major Highways. We can’t sit aloof and keep on losing such precious lives day in day out. Enough is enough.

“As the next MP for Kintampo North, I will fight for the dualization of our major highways with all my will and might,” he stressed.

He has an interest in addiction Psychiatry and Public Health.
