The National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary Candidate for Kwahu West Constituency, Frederick Obeng Somuah, has donated a total cash sum of GH¢4,500 to victims of Thursday’s accident involving young students of Ampea Memorial School in Nkawkaw.
The unfortunate accident claimed the lives of three school-going children and a female teacher and left about 17 more hospitalized.
The NDC Parliamentary Candidate for Nkawkaw, Frederick Obeng Somuah, who heard about the unfortunate news, paid a visit to both the Holy Family Hospital and Agyarkwa Hospital, where the injured were sent for treatment, to get a fair idea about the incident and commiserate with families of the deceased.
Mr. Obeng Somuah, after interacting with health officials who were providing quality health assistance to the victims to know exactly what their conditions were, then paid for the procedure for a CT scan assessment, which was urgently needed by doctors for further diagnosis and treatment of some of the victims, and also made a cash donation for the treatment of the victims.
In an interview with Citi News, Mr. Frederick Obeng Somuah, who extended his condolences to the bereaved families, called on civil society groups and benevolent individuals to come to the aid of the victims.
“It’s always sad to be hit by tragic moments like this. When I heard the unfortunate news, I had no option but to personally visit the accident victims and families of yesterday’s gory crash, at the Holy Family Hospital and Agyakwa Hospital. I shared some encouraging words with the families and made a cumulative donation of GH¢4,500 to assist those in critical conditions.
“It’s my fervent prayer that our good Lord heals them and protects us all through the year. I know it’s a difficult moment for them all because I’m also a father, and I know it is. For those who lost their loved ones, I express my deepest condolences to them, and I know God will console them. We will continue to pray with them and assist them in any way we can.”
He added, “I know times are hard, but I also believe that we Ghanaians are loving people. So I would use your powerful medium to plead with the entire Ghanaian society, civil society groups, corporate institutions, and benevolent individuals to try and also visit these victims here at the hospital and assist the health professionals in any way they can to provide quality treatment for those in critical conditions”.
