The Minority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for Nsawam-Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has formally written to President John Dramani Mahama raising concerns over a number of pressing national issues affecting livelihoods and state institutions.

In the letter, the lawmaker highlighted what he described as the return of persistent power outages, worsening conditions facing cocoa farmers following reductions in producer prices, and growing institutional challenges at the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).

He also drew attention to what he termed a troubling situation where food gluts in farming communities are occurring alongside food shortages in Senior High Schools across the country.

According to Mr. Annoh-Dompreh, failure to address these challenges urgently could lead to serious economic and administrative setbacks with long-term consequences for ordinary Ghanaians.

The MP said he proposed practical reforms and interventions aimed at protecting jobs, improving food security, strengthening environmental governance, and stabilising the economy.

He stressed that leadership must speak out whenever the welfare of citizens and the credibility of national institutions are under threat.

Mr. Annoh-Dompreh further warned that neglecting early warning signs surrounding these issues could escalate them into major financial and governance crises that may derail national development efforts.

He therefore called for urgent executive attention and broader engagement with affected groups in resolving the concerns raised.
