Lawyer Samuel Abu Jinapor, Member of Parliament for Damongo constituency and Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, joined his constituents in Laribanga for a casual gathering.
The Minister put aside his official duties to share a meal of kenkey and crack shear nuts with the community, fostering a sense of togetherness and understanding.
This down-to-earth approach has endeared him to the people, who appreciate his willingness to engage with them on a personal level.
This gesture has been praised by many, who see it as a refreshing departure from the typical formalities of political life. while some have deemed it as politics.
The event was a testament to the Minister’s dedication to building strong relationships with his constituents, ensuring their voices are heard, and their concerns addressed.
As he continues to serve in his dual capacity as MP and Minister, his approachability and empathy will undoubtedly make a positive impact on the community.
It would be recalled that recently, Amoh Kamel, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary candidate for Asokwa, embarked on a unique door-to-door campaign too.
The candidate was spotted frying meat, preparing banku, and even unbraiding hair for his constituents. This unconventional approach seemed to have resonated with the community, who seemed to appreciate the personal touch.
However, not everyone is impressed. Social media users have reacted with skepticism, questioning the sincerity of Kamel’s actions.
“Old tactics, any politician that does this is obviously showing you his real self. Don’t fall for it, fear politicians,” wrote one user.
With the 2024 general elections fast approaching, Ghanaians are likely to see more of that.
