Asempaneye (W/N), April 19, GNA – Mr Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, the Member of Parliament for Sefwi- Juabeso Constituency in the Western North Region, has presented relief items to 133 people from four communities who were affected by a recent rainstorm.
The items include: 120 packets of roofing sheets, seven bags of cement and an amount of GH¢50.00 each to all the victims.
The affected communities are: Asempaneye, Breman, Dominebo and Eteso all within the Asempaneye-Breman electoral area.
Presenting the items, Mr Akandoh said the donation was in response to an appeal made to him by chiefs of the four communities after the rainstorm.
The MP said he also mobilised funds to buy roofing sheets to renovate the only CHIP compound serving the people who are mostly farmers.
He expressed worry at the rate of damage saying the donation was how he could help in his own small way to ensure that those who were displaced got a place to lay their heads.
He advised residents to engage qualified masons and carpenters when putting up structures and appealed to carpenters in the area to live up to the task.
Some of the beneficiaries in an interview with the Ghana News Agency, commended the Member of Parliament for the items saying it would greatly improve their lot.
They called on the government and other corporate institutions to also come to their aid.
