A severe rainstorm swept through the Bekwai constituency on Sunday, February 8, 2026, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake.
The Member of Parliament for the area, Ralph Poku-Adusei, has taken swift action, visiting schools ravaged by the storm and pledging support for repairs.
The worst-hit institution was Denyaseman Catholic Senior High School (SHS) in Poano, where a classroom block was partially destroyed. The strong winds ripped off roofing sheets, weakened walls, and scattered debris, rendering the classrooms unusable. Other affected schools include Huntado Kindergarten and the Behenase cluster of schools.
Poku-Adusei, accompanied by local officials, assessed the damage on February 11, 2026. He expressed relief that no one was hurt and commended the students and staff for their composure. The MP has committed resources from his Common Fund allocation to repair the damaged facilities, aiming to restore teaching and learning as soon as possible.
Residents and school authorities have praised Poku-Adusei’s prompt response, seeing it as a testament to his dedication to education and community welfare. With the storm’s aftermath still being felt, locals are calling for urgent action to ensure the safety of remaining structures and prevent further disruptions to schooling.
The MP’s visit has brought hope to the affected communities, highlighting his commitment to supporting them in times of need. As the area begins to recover, Poku-Adusei’s efforts are likely to be remembered as a beacon of hope and resilience.
