The former Deputy Minister of Tourism and Creative Arts has reminded the Assemblymen and Women of their leadership role to educate their communities on COVID-19 protocols to stop the spread.
The Deputy Minister under John Mahama administration and now a Parliamentary candidate for the National Democratic Congress for Ketu South, Dzifa Abla Gomashie said, Assemblymen have the responsibility as part of their leadership to make sure their community folks adhere strictly to advice on social distancing.
She added that, “It’s only when people understand and appreciate what is at stake, then, they will not gather” irrespective of whatever business they want to transact.
In an interview with gbcghanaonline.com, during the presentation of some Veronica buckets and some assorted items to the Ketu South Municipality on behalf of the MP for the Area, Fiifi Kwetey, madam Gomashie charged the Assemblymen to put their shoulders to the wheel to fight the deadly virus.
She stressed that, “each of us has a role to play, either for self preservation, or for community education. If you look at the three, I think that, the Assemblymen/women are embodiment of that, they are leaders, they must preserve themselves and they have to set an example in the community”.
According to her, as MP and PC they were called upon to support and “this presentation is a response to the call made by people of the assembly asking for support and the MP responded positively”.
The items presented include: 115 Veronica Buckets, 115 Washing Bowls, 100 200ml hand sanitizers plus 75 2.5 Litter Gallon of Liquid Soaps to be distributed to all both elected and government appointees to the assembly as well as others special groups and persons.
The Municipal Coordinating Director, Alhaji Yussif Abrahim who received the items was grateful to the MP and The PC.
