The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nhyiaeso, Dr. Stephen Amoah, popularly known as “Sticka,” has strongly rejected a parliamentary performance survey conducted by Global InfoAnalytics, describing its findings as misleading, demotivating and lacking a credible basis.
The poll, conducted by the research firm headed by Mussa Dankwa, ranked Dr. Amoah among MPs perceived to be underperforming, a classification the legislator insists is unfair and based on an erroneous understanding of the constitutional responsibilities of Members of Parliament.
Addressing journalists in Parliament, Dr. Amoah questioned the methodology used by the pollsters, arguing that the assessment relied heavily on factors beyond the control of MPs.
He disclosed that during a conversation with Mussa Dankwa, he sought clarification on the criteria used to evaluate MPs’ performance, only to discover that issues such as currency stability, roads and other development indicators had been included.
“What were the core functions of MPs that Mussa Dankwa dwelt on? He sent me a diagram including currency stabilisation, roads and all those things. I’m like, wow, is that the function of an MP? If the currency is unstable, is it the MP? If roads are not good, is it the MP?” he questioned.
According to him, such an approach paints a distorted picture of the work legislators perform and unfairly judges their effectiveness.
“I think we are doing this nation a great disservice. It’s unfortunate that people like us, who have done so much, are being assessed this way,” he stated.
Dr. Amoah maintained that his contributions to the Nhyiaeso Constituency go far beyond parliamentary debates and legislative duties.
He revealed that he is personally funding the construction of a community library and has established a health support fund for New Patriotic Party (NPP) activists, polling agents and coordinators who dedicated themselves to serving the party.
“As I’m speaking to you, I’m putting up a library for an entire community with my own resources. There are so many things I’m doing in my constituency. I even have a health fund for NPP activists, agents and coordinators, all from my own pocket,” he disclosed.
The Nhyiaeso MP described the survey as “very dangerous” and “highly demotivating,” insisting that his record over the past six years places him among the country’s best-performing legislators.
“I believe that with my performance over the past six years and the opportunities I have had, you cannot find more than 10 MPs who have done what I have done. I’m not comparing myself with colleagues, but I believe I am among the top performers,” he stressed.
He argued that his legislative work, constituency development initiatives and community interventions clearly demonstrate that he cannot reasonably be classified as a non-performing MP.
Survey Findings
The Global InfoAnalytics parliamentary performance survey, conducted in June 2026 across 83 constituencies, measured constituents’ perceptions of the performance of their MPs.
According to the findings, the MP for Nsawam/Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, emerged as the highest-rated legislator with a 98 percent approval rating, while the MP for Asene-Manso-Akroso, George Kwame Aboagye, recorded the lowest approval rating at nine percent.
The survey indicated that only two percent of respondents in Nsawam/Adoagyiri rated their MP’s performance as poor or very poor, while 87 percent of respondents in Asene-Manso-Akroso assessed their MP’s performance negatively.
Other highly-rated MPs included those representing Tolon and Tain, who each scored 94 percent approval, followed by Navrongo Central with 93 percent, Offinso North with 91 percent, and Kpando and Tano North, both with 88 percent.
Among the constituencies with the lowest approval ratings after Asene-Manso-Akroso were Takoradi (13%), Bosomtwe (15%), Achiase (16%) and Bole-Bamboi (21%).
The survey also recorded relatively high “No Opinion” responses in some constituencies, with Bosomtwe registering 18 percent and Asuogyaman 15 percent, suggesting that a significant number of constituents were either undecided or insufficiently informed to assess their MPs’ performance.
Global InfoAnalytics said the exercise forms part of its continuous effort to monitor public perceptions of parliamentary performance across Ghana.
