There should be a change in the constituency, " he added.Mr Titus-Glover pledged to work as a team with the chiefs, civil society and professionals with education of the youth as a priority, ensure workers were paid appropriate remuneration, Manhean Health Centre upgraded or a new hospital constructed to befit the town and a concrete wharf constructed at the seashore for fishermen.He said the people should be empowered economically and socially to enable them contribute to improve their living standards.Mr Amarfio said when elected he would collaborate with the Association of Ghana Industries (AGI) and labour unions to seek redress of their problems in parliament.Source: GNA
