Paul Evans Aidoo was rated among the worst performing MPs scoring 11.50% in the sixth parliament.
The MP in an interview on Ultimate FM said, "I won’t accept the ratings because I was a regional minister and my duties did not allow me to be in parliament all the time. I was always outside the country and parliament serving the interest of the country in various capacities. It is not possible for me to be in parliament and the region. What hindered my committee work were my additional duties as regional Minister".
The survey report stated, "We verified the completeness of our dataset by comparing our cache of data to a list of Parliament’s sitting days obtained from staff of the Parliamentary service. On each sitting day, three documents are produced namely, the Hansard, Order Paper and Votes and Proceedings. Consequently, for each date on Parliament’s calendar we have access to three primary documents.

Odekro’s Content Manager and Research Assistant both verified each documentary source of our data," Odekro said in a statement.
