“This morning [February 12] we are here with some party executives, chiefs and people of Atekyedo to make a donation of one hundred thousand cedis [GHC100,000] to support the fight against cholera.The MP is ever ready to support in the fight against the disease although he is not in the constituency now,” former MCE Kassim Zubeiru said.
To those living along the costal areas he said to them “We must maintain sanity, and cleanliness and avoid open defecation. The MP has built many toilets in these communities and I urge them to use the facilities. This to a larger extent will bring down the spread.
