A Member of Parliament hopeful for the Ho Central constituency running on the ticket of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Robert Doh, has said that parliament is not just a place to make laws but also serves as a development agent.
He believes that one of his oversight responsibilities, as a lawmaker, is to improve the people’s standard of living through job creation.
“I don’t see parliament as just a place for making laws,” he told the media recently. “I see parliament as a place for leadership, for your community. You’re the light and representative of your people so people have that trust in you that you can bring out policies that will inure to their benefit.”
Doh said he will prioritise agribusiness, sports, e-commerce, arts, entertainment and entrepreneurship in the Ho Central constituency if given the mandate.
He stated that he will improve the standard of living of party members who are of age, especially former and current party executives.
Doh is one of the nine MP hopefuls who have filed to contest the Ho Central parliamentary primaries in May this year. The incumbent MP has not filed to contest this year.
Doh is a medical doctor. He graduated from the University of Ghana, Legon. He is a private practitioner with over 38 employees in his private hospital based in the Volta Region.
He is a native of Ho Central and known for his humanitarian work in the area and other parts of the region. He said he can do more of what he has done in the past with a focus on transforming lives of the people of Ho.
