Residents of Sagnarigu-Dungu in the Tamale south constituency of the Northern region are threatening to vote out their Member of Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, for what they say is deliberate neglect and refusal by him to attend to their needs.
The community which is in close proximity to the Dungu Dam gets flooded anytime it rained, due to poor drainage and bad road networks.
Sagnarigu Dungu Electoral area is one of the areas in the Tamale metropolis which lacks social amenities such as potable drinking water, good roads and school infrastructure, among other needs. Some of the residents who spoke to Adom News said they have had to mobilise themselves to construct hand-dug drains just to prevent their community from flooding.
According to the residents, it’s impossible to get out or even enter the community anytime it rained hence their decision to construct a road bridge as their MP, Hon. Haruna Iddrisu has neglected them.
Adom News has also gathered that the contract for the construction of the road leading to the community was part of an initial contract which saw the construction of similar stretches of roads in other parts of the municipality.
According to Haruna Mumuni, Assemblyman for the area, complains and appeals to the MP, Hon Haruna Iddrisu, have all fallen on deaf ears.
With the raining season a few days away, residents of the area are once again, calling on the MP to come to their aid. The residents who have since been engaged in some communal works to mitigate the flooding should the rains start, have threatened not to vote for the MP in the next general election should he fail to heed their call and address their needs.

So this journalist and the news editor do not both know the responsibilities of an MP and the MCE/DCE? Uneducated literates continuosly mis-informing people in the name of freedom of speech. Let us READ to educate ourselves.
I wonder if most of the commentators are here to do politics. If you become endowed by God's Grace to be able to read and write, use that justifiably and sensibly. What then is the difference between you and our politicians we always blame for corruption and lies. We probably would be doing worse if we had their platform. Just imagine the dust we want to through into the eyes of the public with this small platform we have had. We know the truth so do not let us pretend. He is a solid gentle you would love to be on any day. This hatred must seize, brothers
IS IT THE DUTY OF THE MP TO CONSTRUCT ROADS AND BRIDGES? IT IS THE PRIMARY DUTY OF THE TAMALE METROPOLITAN ASSEMBLY TO DO THAT. THE MP ONLY COMPLEMENTS WHAT THE TaMA IS SUPPOSED TO DO. PLEASE DIRECT YOUR ANGER AT THE MCE'S OFFICE AND STOP THIS VILE POLITICKING.
He is busily taken DOUBLE SALARY and blaming it on systemic failure. You guys should not WORRY. Just get your voter IDs and VOTE HIM OUT. He is only thinking about how to win the next elections and not to help you solve your problems in the constituency. HE is a DISGRACE
He's in a comfortable lead. .doing press conferences in Accra. Better advice yourselves 2020.by voting him out. He can talk but can't deliver in his small constituency shame on Haruna Idrisu.
This constituents should not worry.... Their MP Haruna will soon be removed from parliament for taking double salary which is a cr!minal offence..... They may not get the chance to vote him out.......
