Some weeks ago, some constituents criticised the MP over poor road networks and lack of other basic social infrastructure in the area.
But speaking at Akyem Bomaa during the Farmers Day Celebration, Mr. Amoako Atta swore that he has never robbed his constituents.
He said God should strike him dead if he has even stolen GHc10 from his people.
“I have been speaking in churches and before Nananom who are Spirit so I would have been struck dead if have been lying to my constituents all these while.
“I swear before Nananom and Almighty God I have never robbed my constituents. God should take my life if I have ever stolen even Ghc10 meant for my constituents. God Should Take My life! God should take my life if as an MP I have robbed my constituency,” he is quoted as saying by Starfmonline.
The MP said it is completely erroneous for anyone to claim he is enriching himself with monies meant for development in the area.

According to him, all he has done since becoming MP is to to ensure that the living standards of the people are improved with the meager resources that are given to him.
“As human as I am if I had unintentionally used monies of my constituency for something else which I am yet to be known I pray to God for forgiveness. if I become aware I will refund it 10 times. But I can confidently say I have never taken anything meant for my constituents since I became MP,” Mr. Amoako Atta added.
