Former Mayor of Accra Metropolitan Assembly and Member of Parliament for Ablekuma South Alfred Okoe Vanderpuije has led a delegation to present an undisclosed sum of money in support of former President Rawlings’ foundation.
According to the former Mayor of AMA, the undisclosed amount is towards supporting underprivileged persons who require assistance with their health, education and other basic needs.
He further disclosed he and some of his constituents recognise the challenges the former President face in supporting many vulnerable persons who seek his assistance regularly so have decided to join force to support his work.
Former President John Rawlings, who received the contribution thanked the delegation for their kind gesture and noted that he will channel the contribution to help retired police officer, Chief Superintendent, Ben Mensah, who needs assistance for a kneecap replacement surgery.
The former president said Chief Supt Mensah, amongst a few others, had dedicated most of his working life to the good of the country and faced some precarious situations during the revolutionary period. He disclosed that the cost of the surgery is valued at GHS65,000 and called on other well-meaning personalities and institutions to contribute toward it.
Apart from Vanderpuije, the other members of the Ablekuma South delegation comprised Rev. Charles Ankamah Tetteh, Mr. Raymond Nii Quaye Kotey, Madam Esther Naa Amerley Vanderpuije (Madam Indomie) and Mr. Emmanuel Nii Ankrah Vanderpuije, a junior brother of the MP.
