Member of Parliament for Nhyiaeso, Dr. Stephen Amoah, has dismissed a recent survey ranking him among low-performing MPs as misinformation, insisting his parliamentary and constituency records speak for themselves.
Addressing the press in Parliament on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, Dr. Amoah said the ranking by researcher Musah Dankwa was surprising and required correction in the public interest.
“I am not speaking to save face but to correct what I consider a fundamental challenge of misinformation in the country,” he said. “When people are misinformed, it has a very huge adverse impact on our society because the basis for decision making is information.”
Parliamentary record
The Nhyiaeso MP defended his performance on the floor of Parliament, noting that most of his personal statements have been referred to committees due to their significance.
He cited three key interventions:
* A warning against government borrowing on the domestic market at rates higher than the private sector.
* A proposal for the introduction of entrepreneurship in the SHS and JHS curricula.
* A call for a shift from a free market to a mixed market economy.
Constituency work
On constituency development, Dr. Amoah said he has been recognized as one of the best managers of the MPs’ District Assembly Common Fund, winning awards on multiple occasions.
He disclosed that he has provided well over 1,000 scholarships to constituents in Nhyiaeso, funded through the Common Fund, other sources and his personal resources.
“Every MP can be judged based on what he does here and how he uses his Common Fund,” he stressed.
He argued that MPs should not be assessed on mandates outside their direct control, such as economic stabilization and road construction, though he added that constituents could still verify road projects undertaken in Nhyiaeso.
Dr. Amoah urged the public to verify facts before accepting such rankings.
