The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Ahafo Ano North Constituency in the Ashanti Region Sanid Adamu Suleman has donated assorted items to contribute to the fight against the novel coronavirus pandemic in the Ahafo Ano North constituency.
Speaking to the media after the donations, the MP mentioned that, it is imperative for him to support his constituents to prevent the spread of the virus than to wait for the virus to register its presence in the Constituency. The items which include Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the Tepa Government Hospital, over 4500 hand sanitizers and 20 veronica buckets to the constituents. The 300ml hand sanitizers were distributed to some shop keepers, traders and people across the constituency. The 20 veronica buckets were shared across the markets in the constituency.
Although, there hasn’t been any recorded case in the constituency, hon. Sule is keen in ensuring that none of his constituency contract the virus. As part of the measures to sustain the current covid-19 status, the MP last week resourced the Municipal Information Services Department (ISD) to embark on educational campaign to educate the constituency about the realities of the virus. The ISD has since completed that exercise.
During the distribution, the MP and his team took turn to educate the public about the covid-19 and urged the public to adhere to the precautionary measures as prescribed by the Health Service and the Ministry of Health.
In all, the MP and his team interacted with over 5000 persons during the exercise.
Meanwhile, the Ahafo Ano North Municipal Assembly, the MP and the Police, have raised a task force to ensure compliance to the presidential directives on social distancing, ban on gathering and such others as prescribed in the Imposition of restrictions Act 2020 for the safety of the individuals in the Municipality. This came as a result of some rumours which were rife in the municipality over organization of some sporting events within the municipality during the Easter period.
