The Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Dr. Stephen Amoah, has rejected a recent Global InfoAnalytics survey that ranked him among the lowest-performing MPs, describing the findings as misleading, demotivating and potentially harmful.
The survey assessed the performance of 83 Members of Parliament and gave Dr. Amoah a score of 23 percent, placing him among the lowest-rated legislators.
Speaking to journalists, Dr. Amoah questioned the methodology used by the research firm and argued that the results did not accurately reflect his work and contributions to the Nhyiaeso Constituency.
According to him, his record over the past six years demonstrates a level of performance that should place him among the top-performing MPs in the country.
“This is very demotivating and dangerous. I believe that with my performance over the last six years and the opportunities I have had, there are not more than 10 MPs who can match what I have done,” he said.
Dr. Amoah cited a number of initiatives he has undertaken in the constituency, including financial support for traders, infrastructure improvements in markets, educational interventions and efforts to secure employment opportunities for young people.
“You go to Santasi Market, I gave them about GH¢100,000 to do business, share and pay back without interest. Just about 40% paid, and I left the rest,” he stated.
He added that his relationship with constituents remains strong and insisted that the survey findings do not reflect the views of residents in Nhyiaeso.
He urged Global InfoAnalytics to review its assessment methods and engage more directly with beneficiaries of projects in the constituency, particularly schools and communities where he says significant interventions have been made.
“Misinformation is as toxic as anything you can think of. We must be careful not to discourage people who are genuinely working for the development of the country,” he added.
The Nhyiaeso MP stressed that his concerns were not solely about his personal reputation but about ensuring that public assessments accurately capture the work of elected representatives and do not undermine efforts aimed at improving the lives of constituents.
