Baffour played role in founding UP tradition Dr Akoto
April 29, 2021 Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto,Minister of Food and Agriculture
Dr Owusu Afriyie Akoto, the Minister of Food and Agriculture, has appealed to the leadership of the New Patriotic Party to recognise the contribution of the late Okyeame Baffour Osei Akoto in the political development of the tradition and accord him a place.
“Given his strategic role in founding and leading the NLM and in playing such a critical part in the negotiations for the formation of the United Party (the precursor of the New Patriotic Party), it is surprising that Baffour Akoto does not even get a mention in contemporary discussion on the history of our political tradition,” he said.

As part of his plans to strengthen and improve security within the Bantama constituency, Member of Parliament for the area, Hon. Francis Asenso-Boakye, donated two 4x4 Nissan pickups to the Bohyen and Suntreso police district command on Tuesday, January 12, 2021.
The gesture, he reiterated, will help reduce the crime rate in the constituency and further ensure the peace and security of all constituents are guaranteed.
Hon. Asenso-Boakye also tasked the constituents to make the police their friend and assist them with any relevant information, as and when it is needed.
He said, “ensuring safety in the constituency is a collective responsibility of both residents and the police. I, therefore, urge all of us to give them the needed support in discharging their duties”.
