NPP Member of Parliament for Essikado- Ketan Constituency and Minister of Railways, Hon Joe Ghartey, caused a stir in his constituency when he arrived in a public transport, popularly known as ‘Trotro’, at the Kingstel hotel in Takoradi for parliamentary primaries vetting.
He told Peacefmonline.com that he had no option after his driver delayed to pick him up for the vetting on a scheduled time.
The ‘People’s MP’ as affectionately called in his constituency was warmly welcome by party activists, later said; “I will do it again and again when I have the opportunity to.”
“The feeling was great and I interacted with the people to clear the perception that MPs cannot be approached. My doors are always opened for all.”
“MPs must always respect the people who voted for them,” He advised
Joe Ghartey who is an indigene of Essikado in the Western Region has been a Member of Parliament for the NPP in the constituency five times as an unopposed candidate.
Many believe his hard work in the constituency has been incredible – hence, he has been ‘gifted’ the constituency to ensure development.

I once had an encounter with Hon.Gharty about 11years ago through a friend and can attest without fear that he is really easy to approach. God bless you for the audience you gave me.
It's Ghanaian politics time, and the Ghanaian (lying, Pretending, presumptuousnes, etc( is showing so glaringly. Joe Ghartey's driver was late when his boss was going to file nomination as MP? And Joe Ghartey resorted to "trotro" as means of transport? ? Who is taking as KG children. But yes, Joe Ghartey's calibre is not higher than this level of joke. The leadership of Joe Ghartey's calibre is why Ghana is where it is. But tribalism keeps the Joe Gharteys in power. #ghanableeds
After the John Mahama railway development loans were exhausted, this Joe Ghartey man cannot continue. He made everyone think he signed and worked out the railway development contracts. Now every railway project has halted and Joe Ghartey is too proud to ask the former NDC Transport Minister what next to be done. But for the Takoradi tribalism, Joe Ghartey cannot be the so-called "people's MP". But Nana Addo's presidency has afforded non-tribal Ghanaians the opportunity to distinguish between "incompetent" John Mahama from the "substandard" Nana Addo
