The Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A-Plus, has stated that his focus in Parliament is on development and industrialisation rather than frequent contributions on the floor of the House.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show on March 26, Mr. Obeng explained that he is unconcerned about criticisms over his perceived low participation in parliamentary debates, stressing that talking alone does not drive development.

He noted that his priority is transforming his constituency through job creation and industrial growth, including plans to establish what he describes as the largest industrial park in Africa.

Mr. Obeng added that his initiatives, particularly in youth empowerment and support for women, are already producing tangible results.

He emphasised that his constituents are satisfied with his performance and continue to support his development-focused agenda.

“I don’t worry about people saying that I don’t speak prominently. Before going to Parliament, I thought the focus was on talk, but once I got there, I realised it’s much more than that. I want to build the biggest industrial park in Africa, and talking alone won’t achieve that. I’m not interested in just discussions; I want to be an industrialist.

“The mandate that the constitution gives to an MP is different from what the people who elected you expect. I understand my duties in Parliament, and I see that my community needs jobs—they appreciate the work I’m doing. Everyone in Gomoa is proud of our efforts, and my people are excited about what we are building together. I genuinely don’t care about the opinions of others. My focus is on youth and women’s development. My constituency is one of the few areas that has provided loans to women, and the repayment rate has been 100%. The people trust me,” he stated.
