The Member of Parliament for the Ablekuma West Constituency in the Greater Accra Region, Ursula Owusu-Ekuful, has described the donation of outboard motors by President John Dramani Mahama to fishermen in the Western Region as an abuse of incumbency. Ursula Owusu-Ekuful expressed concern that some deserving fisherman might miss out on the outboard motors because of their political allegiances, stating that, pro-government persons would be favoured. “It’s part of a national policy to equip fisher-folk with outboard motors and you hand them over to party functionaries to distribute. “Vote them out then you can be sure that state resources would be used for the benefit of everybody,” she said.
