The Member of Parliament of Ellembele and Deputy Minister for Energy, Emmanuel Armah Kofi Buah, has presented a 42-inch Protech LCD Television set with HD satellite dish to three communities in the Ellembelle district in the Western Region.
The gesture was to enable the three communities in the district, namely, Atuabo, Tandan and Asasetre to watch live matches of the FIFA World cup.
Five communities in the northern part of the district without electricity, namely Asomase, Kwasikrom, Mantukwa, New Baseke and Aidoo Souazo have also taken delivery of 25 inch Panasonic Television with brand new generators from the member of parliament to enable them follow events at the tournament.
Hon. Buah noted that lack of electricity should not prevent people in the remote areas from watching the World Cup.
The District Chief Executive of Ellembelle, Danile K. Esun, who made the presentation on behalf of the member of parliament at Tandan, called on the people to take very good care of the gift since it had become a community property and therefore advised parents in the community to monitor the activities of their wards in order not to turn the gift into a nuisance since most school children may sneak to watch television instead of going to school.
He again prevailed upon them to call on the Assembly for any assistance they would need and also promised to fix their primary school which was, a deteriorating state.
The Chief of Tandan, Nana Ezah Kwame IV, thanked the MP for the kind gesture and promised to take good care of the gift to the benefit of all the community members.
