The Member of Parliament (MP) for Ellembelle, Mr. Emmanuel Armah-Kofi Buah, has presented a new pick-up vehicle valued at GHc850,000.00 to the Uthman Bin Affan Islamic Senior High School (UBAISH) at Kamgbunli in the Western Region.
The donation followed an appeal to his office by the headmaster and staff of the school since the breakdown of the only school bus.
Making the presentation during a campaign tour of the area, Mr Kofi Buah said the donation formed part of his avowed commitment towards good quality education delivery in the district.
He said the needs of the school were on the drawing board of former President John Dramani Mahama, who is seeking re-election and asked them to return him to the Presidency.
Mr. Kofi Buah also promised the school a bigger bus when given the nod. He touted achievements of the NDC government in the school with special reference to moving the school from private to public entity.
The MP mentioned the construction of classroom blocks to augment existing infrastructure, an asphaltic overlay of town roads and extension of electricity. He said the NDC would continue to bring more development to the town when voted into office.
Headmaster of the school, Alhaji Osmanu Zakaria, who received the keys to the pick-up, conveyed felicitations from the school to the MP.
He said the absence of a school bus was making it difficult for the running of the school.
Mr. Zakaria expressed confidence in Mr Kofi Buah that he would bring more development to the school in future.
According to the headmaster, almost all the second cycle schools in the Nzema area had vehicles except UBAISH but all efforts to get the government to donate a bus to the school had proven futile.
In appreciation of the gesture, the Kamgbunli community clothed Mr Kofi Buah with a traditional smock to honour him.
Ellembelle Constituency Chairman of the NDC, Mr. Alex Mahama appealed to the people to reward the MP for his untiring efforts to bring development to the area by voting for him and Mr. John Dramani Mahama on December 7.
