The Member of Parliament for Bosomtwe in the Ashanti region, Dr Yaw Osei Adutwum, has feted about 500 widows and the aged drawn from across the constituency.
He treated them to meals and presented each of them with pieces of cloth and a token amount of GH¢100.00.
The presentation ceremony held on New Year Day at the Osei Adutwum Senior High School at Jachie formed the annual ritual to bring smiles on the faces of the aged, particularly widows in the area.
The MP, who doubles as the Minister of Education, interacted with the widows and had fun dancing with them to the admiration of onlookers.
The Minister urged parents to prioritize the education of their wards by taking advantage of the government’s free educational policy.
The MP reminded parents of their role to encourage children to go to school.
He also noted that the NPP government deserves another term in office and advised the Ghanaian voters to vote the NPP back to office.
“The government has done well especially in the area of education,” he noted and mentioned the free secondary education, free TVET, the transformation of public schools, health and almost every sector as some of the success stories.
Based on the massive transformation in the area, Dr. Adutwum pleaded with voters to keep the NPP in power for the next four to eight years and beyond.
