The
out-going Metropolitan Chief Executive of Accra says having been in
public administration for some good number of years, the nation will
benefit a lot from his experience if he is put on the Select Committee
of Local Government and Rural Development of Parliament.
“As
a Mayor, I have experience in public administration so I will bring to
bear my local governance experience to help prosecute government’s
business. I can even serve on the Committee on Local Government,” he
noted.
Mr. Vanderpuije made this observation
when he interacted with journalists on the sidelines of the ongoing
registration of newly elected lawmakers for the Seventh Parliament of
the Fourth Republic on Monday, December 19, 2016.
The
exercise is to collate the data of all the MPs-elect for the
Parliamentary register. Following the registration, the new MPs will be
issued with Identification Cards that will enable them have access to
the Chamber of the House and to attend the First Sitting of the Seventh
Parliament.
Vanderpuije commenting further,
said although the National Democratic Congress (NDC), will no more be
managing the affairs of the country for the next four years beginning
January 7, 2017, he is still committed to the pledge he made to people
prior to winning their votes.
“I will deliver
for my people to see that their vote for me did not go waste. They are
looking forward to seeing what I will bring on board. So, I will make
sure that the development that will come at the national level, Ablekuma
South will not be left out,” he said.
He
further pledged to remain committed to his parliamentary
responsibilities, noting that he will be present at all times to ensure
that he makes input into all the Bills or laws that are passed by
Parliament.
This, he believes, will go a long way to benefit the people of Ablekuma South.
Mr. Vanderpuije won the Ablekuma South seat on the ticket of the NDC.
