Community and Development Interventions
Mr. Mohl’s profile also highlights a number of community interventions, including co-funding the construction of a volleyball court in Nandom, donating football jerseys and footballs to youth groups, and supporting the Nandom Constituency executives financially between 2011 and 2015.

He also helped constituents secure employment in institutions including Ghana Water Limited, the Audit Service, security services, the Local Government Service, Ghana Health Service and Ghana Education Service.
A Candidate Presented as an Experienced Negotiator
In presenting the profile, Magnus Innocent Der portrayed Mr. Mohl as a politician whose extensive public service and international exposure have equipped him with experience in negotiation, lobbying and public administration.
He indicated that Hon. Alois’s years of working with government institutions and international organisations have given him networks that could be useful in attracting development opportunities to Nandom.
