Nhyiaeso residents reject low-performing rating for Stephen Amoah

Residents of Nhyiaeso in the Ashanti Region have rejected a recent assessment reportedly ranking their Member of Parliament, Dr Stephen Amoah, as a low-performing legislator.¹

Speaking during an interaction with Dr Amoah on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, the residents described the ranking, attributed to Global InfoAnalytics pollster Mussa Dankwa, as inaccurate and inconsistent with the MP’s record.

Resident Kojo Boakye said Dr Amoah is one of the most active MPs, particularly on economic and financial issues.

“He is always among the Minority MPs who speak eloquently on issues relating to the economy and finance. The primary responsibility of an MP is parliamentary work, and he has excelled in that regard,” he said.

Mr Boakye noted that Dr Amoah serves as Deputy Ranking Member on Parliament’s Finance Committee and is a member of the Parliamentary Affairs Committee. He also said the MP has tabled several statements in Parliament, with two referred by the Speaker to the relevant ministries for action.

The residents also cited Dr Amoah’s constituency engagements and development interventions, including:

1. More than 3,000 scholarships awarded to students.
2. Construction and rehabilitation of roads.
3. Distribution of more than 2,400 pieces of furniture to five senior high schools.
4. Construction of infrastructure in some secondary schools.
5. Donation of computers to educational institutions.
6. Provision of a Toyota pickup vehicle to support local security operations.
7. Establishment of Nhyiaeso FC to promote youth development through sports.
8. Vocational training for more than 1,000 residents in various trades.
9. Distribution of more than 800 free sewing machines to beneficiaries.
10. A scientific research exercise to collect demographic data for constituency planning and development.

The residents also praised Dr Amoah for regularly attending funerals, church programmes, weddings and other community activities.

“These achievements speak for themselves. That is why we reject any attempt to label him as a low-performing MP,” Mr Boakye stated.
