At the conclusion of the tour a meeting was held with the local leaders and other guests. In his remarks, the Honorable Kwabena Boateng noted that this was his first official engagement as a newly elected Parliament member.
“I had the opportunity to learn about the foundational beliefs of the Church of Jesus Christ, particularly their articles of faith, which forms the bedrock of their principles and values,” the MP noted after the meeting. “It was an enlightening experience that deepened my appreciation for their faith and dedication.
Boateng also learned about the Gathering Place being established in the area. “I commend the Church for their admirable Gathering Place initiative, which is to establish a skill training center within our constituency. This endeavor holds great promise in addressing the issue of unemployment among our youth and empowering them with valuable skills for the future.”
