Hon. Korang cautioned beneficiaries against selling the items, stressing that doing so is against the law. She revealed that the Assembly would establish a task force to monitor the proper use of the items and take action against anyone found violating the directive.
She further urged beneficiaries to have confidence in the President John Dramani Mahama-led administration, describing the initiative as part of the government’s “Resetting Agenda,” which places Persons with Disabilities at the center of national development. She encouraged them to use the items strictly for their intended purposes. The DCE also assured individuals who did not receive items during this phase to remain patient, noting that a second batch would be rolled out to ensure that no Person with Disability in the district is left out.
Hon. Korang expressed appreciation to traditional authorities, particularly the Dwenase Queenmother, Nana Appea Sarpomaa Kumankuma, for gracing the occasion. She also thanked all stakeholders and residents for their support in making the program a success.
