 Damongo MP donates mattresses to GNFS

The Member of Parliament for Damongo constituency in the West Gonja District,hon.Adam Mutawakilu, has donated High Density Foam Mattresses to the Savannah Regional Command of the Ghana National Fire Service.

This according to the legislator is part of effort to create comfort for the fire officers and augment their work in the district and region at large.

At a short ceremony held in Damongo,the Savannah regional capital to hand over the logistics,the law maker commended the fire officers for their dedicated service over the years.

The MP noted that the donation was part of a comprehensive plan he has for the fire station, adding that,"Insha Allah,when reelected,I will continuo to honor all the pledges and more that will come my way".

Being a man of his words,Mr.Mutawakilu revealed that he was presenting the 10 mattresses running into thousands of Ghana cedis in honor of a promise he made sometime ago, saying,"I will always fulfil my promises to the people no matter how long it takes".

He recounted his days as the District Chief Executive for the West Gonja District when he stood up with the support of the Mills-Mahama administration to ensure that the Damongo-Fulfulso-Sawla road was constructed.

The legislator disclosed that during the said period,he worked with the then District Fire Commander to secure a Fire Tender or Fire Truck for the district.

In recent times,he donated a desktop computer with its accessories to support the work of the fire station.

The Deputy Regional Commander,DOI Mike Apiagyie expressed gratitude to the Member of Parliament for the continuous support, noting that the donation was timely.

According to him,the staff is pleased with the quality of the mattresses and pledged to put them into good use.

He disclosed that the regional and municipal command alike,were bedevilled with a lot of logistical constraints,but that not withstanding, his men are always ready to give Savannah Region and Damongo the needed fire cover in order to protect lives and property.

Like Oliver Twist,he appealed to the MP for more logistical support.

The Municipal Fire Commander,ADO II Philip Okumah placed a special request to the legislator to support the Municipal Command with fuel to enable them respond to distressed calls as the dry season sets in.
