Damongo, Savannah Region, Ghana, September 19, 2020//-The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Damongo Constituency in the Savannah Region, Adam Mutawakilu Garlus has presented an Ambulance to the Busunu Health Centre to serve the entire area.
The ambulance is expected to serve seven health facilities within the Busunu zone. This is the second ambulance to be donated by the MP. In 2016, he presented an ambulance to the Laribanga Zone.
Speaking in Busunu, Mr Mutawakilu said that in 2019, the process to get the Busunu ambulance started with procurement and other administrative procedures with some administrative difficulties stalling the process.
Mr Mutawakilu who is also the ranking member for mines and energy committee in Parliament, added that the procurement process got done in June 2020 and by end of July the ambulance was procured and presented to the people on this day, 18th September, 2020.
During the short ceremony held at the forecourt of the Busunuwura’s Palace, the Savannah Regional chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Alhaji Imoro Man Blessing reminded the people of Busunu the good works of former President John Mahama and the MP.
He therefore called on them to vote massively for Mr Mahama who is the presidential candidate of the NDC in the December election and retain Mr Mutawakilu as their MP in the election.
This is because this pair is what will bring more development to the people, he said.
Alhaji Imoro urged the people in the area to show interest in the ongoing voter exhibition exercise to make sure his/her name is captured in the register.
In his speech, the former DCE, Ali B. Kassim, recounted the efforts of the John Mahama administration to get the people of Busunu and the West Gonja District one of the 200 E-blocks.
He said, the paper works were done and a site acquired during the reign of the late Busunuwura Nungbaso, but the Akufo-Addo’s government resolved to halt and abandon those projects which was why the said E-block project never came to fruition.
