The Member of Parliament for Atwima Mponua Constituency, Hon. Seth Osei Akoto, has extended a lifeline to victims of the recent devastating rainstorm in Nyinahin, reaffirming his commitment to the welfare of his constituents during times of crisis.
In a timely intervention, Hon. Akoto donated critical relief items including roofing sheets and sleeping mattresses to the affected families. The gesture, which was warmly received by community members and local officials, aims to provide immediate support as the victims work to rebuild their lives.
Addressing the gathering at the donation ceremony, Hon. Akoto made a passionate appeal for greater support from various stakeholders. He urged the government — particularly the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration — as well as NGOs, benevolent organizations, and private individuals to assist the victims.
“While I have made this donation, I acknowledge that the scale of devastation is beyond the capacity of any one person to address fully. It is time for all stakeholders, philanthropists, and organizations to come together to support our people,” Hon. Akoto emphasized.
Receiving the donation on behalf of the victims, the Atwima Mponua District NADMO Director, Mr. Otuo Acheampong Rabi, expressed profound gratitude to the MP for his thoughtful intervention. He noted that the items would significantly ease the hardships being endured by the displaced families.
“The support from Hon. Akoto comes at a critical time. It shows that true leadership is about standing with the people during their most difficult moments,” Mr. Acheampong said.
Also present was the Assembly Member for Nyinahin Nkwanta Electoral Area, Hon. Kwabena Karikari, who commended the MP’s commitment and responsiveness. On behalf of the affected residents, he conveyed heartfelt appreciation for the timely support.
“This donation has brought hope to many families who have been left vulnerable after the storm. We are grateful for the MP’s leadership and kindness,” Hon. Karikari remarked.
Several of the victims, moved by the MP’s gesture, also shared their appreciation, describing the support as a “beacon of hope” in a time of despair.
The rainstorm that struck Nyinahin caused widespread destruction, leaving many families homeless and in urgent need of assistance. Hon. Seth Osei Akoto’s donation and his broader call for collective action underscore the importance of unity and shared responsibility in responding to disasters.
His proactive support has once again cemented his image as a true servant leader, dedicated to the needs and well-being of his constituents.
