Samuel Abu Jinapor, the MP for Damongo has handed over 10 motorcycles to the West Gonja Municipal Health Directorate as part of measures to improve healthcare delivery in the area.
Jinapor, who doubles as Minister of Lands and Natural Resources, said he and other policy makers will continue to pay attention to basic needs such as education, health, social amenities including water, electricity, sanitation among others.
He said that healthcare is so important that no one can survive without it, regardless of their social status.
According to the lawmaker, his gesture was in response to a request from the directorate on the difficulty in delivering healthcare to those in low-income neighborhoods.
“Which is why when the director came to see me about the inadequacy of transportation for the directorate I took it very seriously,” he said.
Jinapor promised to see to the needs of the community as their MP.
“You need to make it a point to be in your constituency to listen to your people, the people who gave you the mandate, the people who voted for you so that you will be able to understand their needs and work for them and serve them. I want to promise you that, that is exactly what I am going to do for Damongo Constituency”, he noted.
On her part, the West Gonja municipal health director Gertrude Yentumi expressed gratitude to the MP for the donation.
