MP SUPPORTS EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS (PAGE 17, APRIL 9, 2010)

THE Member of Parliament (MP) for Sawla–Tuna–Kalba in the Northern Region, Mr Donald Soditey Dari, has supported a number of educational institutions in the area.
The MP has used part of the Ghana Education Trust Fund (GETFUND in buying 20,000 exercise books and distributed them to schools in the constituency.
He has also provided support for 20 schools with temporary structures and headteachers’ bungalows.
Furthermore, the MP has purchased a quantity of electric poles for the Saint Cyprian Minor Seminary at Sawla.
Interacting with members of the Sawla-Tuna–Kalba District Assembly, Mr Dari said apart from supporting needy students in various tertiary educational institutions in the country, water and radio telephones had been provided for the people of Kalba.
“I have used part of my share of the District Assemblies Common Fund to support three junior high schools in Kulmasa and Soma for them to enjoy solar panel services while 10 corn mills have been distributed to some communities,” he added.
The MP announced a special package including roofing sheets and food items for some residents whose buildings were recently destroyed by a severe rainstorm, and promised to rehabilitate a staff bungalow at Kulmasa for the assembly.
He appealed to other individuals and organisations to come to the aid of the people of Kulmasa since it served as the gateway between the Northern and Upper West Regions.
Mr Dari advised the staff of the assembly to limit their travels outside the district during working days and do so at weekends.
“If it is not an emergency situation or official, I don’t see the reason why you should abandon your office and travel to your village,” he stated.
The MP gave the assurance that he would continue to work with the assembly in all its endeavours.
The presiding member of the assembly, Mr Joseph Sagbachopire, on behalf of the assembly, thanked the MP for his continuous support for the people of the area.
He urged members of the assembly to support the MP in order to improve upon the living standard of the people.
