An assessment has done on the performance of all 275 lawmakers in the eighth Parliament and the representative of the people of Yendi scored 66.3% placing him as the 22nd best performing MP in Ghana.
The benchmarks for the evaluation exercise were anchored on the frequent visits of the MPs to their respective constituencies, the nature of their visits, projects executed by them, constituents’ expectations of the MP, activities of the MP liked by constituents, activities of the MP disliked by constituents and constituents’ ability to communicate with their Member of Parliament.
The Yendi lawmaker in August 2022 was recognized as one of the Top 30 Achievers with an honorary recognition from the Alumni of Coventry University, United Kingdom.
