“If you look at the historic antecedent of the constituency and the general Ghanaian Politics and try to look at the work I have been doing so far in the last one and half years, I wouldn’t say I am doing bad, I wouldn’t want to judge myself,  all that I want to say is that I don’t think I am doing bad but I think the constituents are the best judges, but sometimes Asprilla, when your people are inundated with problems, problems of ages, sometimes the anger and dissatisfaction that is in them, can let you be working, doing you best but sometimes people still have reservations, for instance the area of road sector, the sissala area from Funsi to Tumi, we have had the worse of roads across governments, it has been a very very big challenge, it is an aged old problem but once I am the MP now, there are expectations, that I should be able to work to address those aged old problems, you can be putting in your best bit because it is a huge problem that has been around for a very long time, your effort will not be easily recognized, but from where I sit, I am very confident that after my first term, those who don’t appreciate me will appreciate me with time.”

Mr. Amidu Chinnia, MP for Sissala East Constituency
The Member of Parliament for Sissala East constituency Mr. Amidu Issahaku Chinnia on Sunday 12th March 2023, issued a statement concerning Roads in the Sissala Municipality.

In his statement, he urged Constituents to exercise restraint when demanding for their share of the National Cake when it comes to issues of Roads. He made it clear that using temperaments or expressing anger when demanding for roads to be fixed would only worsen the situation. He issued the statements during a handing over ceremony at Wallembelle where he urged residents of the area to instead use diplomatic approach including petitions rather than treading abhorrent paths to seek for roads in the Sissala Area to be fixed.

“there is historical antecedent or historical Problem that the Sissala People Face ad we don’t have to be too emotional when it comes to our roads, for more than 50-100 years our roads have not bee tackled, how many roads have been tackled in the Sissala Area?, its like we have not been part of Ghana for a very long time but it appears that the emotion and anger is coming at this particular time on an accumulated problem, its not a problem that started today, we have had Ministers coming from this area, we have had mps coming from this area but it has remained a problem, if you look at what is happening now under president Nana Akufo-Addo, you can see clearly that there major, major work that is being done…”.
