‘I didn’t know I was being watched’ - Collins Dauda
Alhaji Collins Dauda, the Member of Parliament for

Local Government and Rural Development, was on
Friday presented with the ”most dedicated
communal servant of Ghana 2016” award.

Eminence awards last year and its representative,
Dr Henry Brenya, presented the award, in the form
of a trophy at Alhaji Dauda’s office at the
Parliament House in Accra.

The elated legislator said “I did not know I was
being watched. It is necessary to put service
first. You’ll attract the necessary recognition
later. I cherish this award so much.

“I thank Allah who created me for this
opportunity, President Mahama who nominated me as
his Minister and the people of Asutifi South for
always electing me as their Member of
Parliament.”

Alhaji Dauda used the occasion to urge colleague
politicians and leaders to give off their best,
since they did not know who might be watching
their performance behind the scenes.

The laureate was grateful to the awarding
institution for the honour done him and said he
would be encouraged by it to be more people
centered.

Alhaji Dauda promised to initiate more
developmental projects and social intervention
porgrammes to enhance the standard of living of
the people of his area.

variety of fields they find themselves.

and socialization with people of different
backgrounds, to motivate and award people of

various fields.
