Former New Patriotic Party (NPP) Member of Parliament (MP) for Asokwa constituency, Maxwell Kofi Jumah has accused all MPs in the Ashanti Region of failing the people in the area. The former NPP MP is unhappy that despite having a huge presence in Parliament, the MPs have not been able to make their numbers felt by tabling before the House for discussions, some decisions by government that have not inured to the benefit of the residents they represent. He cited the decision to pilot capitation of the National Health Insurance Scheme (NHIS) in the Ashanti Region as one of government�s intentions to punish people in the area, and bemoaned the lack of will by NPP MPs drawn from the Ashanti region to kick against the idea. Indicting his former colleagues on Adom FM, �Kofi Ghana� as the former Kumasi Mayor is affectionately called, also slammed the Mahama administration for discriminating against people in the area by �imposing that stupid thing� on them.
