By: Bernard Nyankomago Kwasi

As a young man with great vision, independent candidate Ohene Kwame Frimpong, aspirant for the Asante Akyem North Constituency Member of Parliament seat, is leaving no stone unturned for the betterment of his people.

Throughout his campaign, he has demonstrated his willingness to raise Asante Akyem North to great heights if voted into power on Dec 7, 2024.

Hence, Ohene Kwame Frimpong has laid down proper and strategic structures that serve in the interest of his constituency and sports is not exempted.

He believes sports is an avenue to assist the youth who are endowed with various talents in football, athletes, etc.

Noted for his immense assistance to farmers, businessmen and women, students and unemployed youth in the area, his deep interest in sports, particularly football cannot be overlooked.

In the last couple of years, he has organised football gala competitions in some communities in Asante Akyem North with the aim of uniting and also unearthing football talents.

Currently, he is undertaking an astro turf project in Ananekrom, a village of Agogo Asante Akyem, to boost training facilities in the vicinity.

Agogo can boast of two artificial pitches at the moment but Honourable Ohene Kwame Frimpong believes there is the need to develop more standard training grounds across Asante Akyem North to facilitate football and athletes development.

Through that talents will be produced for the various national teams and football clubs in Ghana. It will also serve as a profession for the youth.

“There are a lot of talents when it comes to football in Asante Akyem North. You remember Frank Osei was produced from Agogo in the early 2000. He became a national asset apart from the great impact he made for King Faisal and Kotoko.

“We still have many talents here, and we cannot allow them to go waste. Already we are helping some of them.

“If I am voted into power on December 7, I will continue to support them because helping people to live well has always been my portion” said Ohene Kwame Frimpong.
