Supporting government’s fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, a Parliamentary Hopeful of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has generously presented a large consignment of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to health facilities in the Afigya Sekyere South District of the Ashanti Region.

Barima Sarpong presented Veronica buckets, hand sanitizers, nose masks and tissues to 10 health facilities including the Agona hospital, Jamasi, Asaaman, Boanim and Bedomase health centers.

Public places such as lorry stations and the Zongo community in Agona Township also benefitted from the package.

He pledged to procure additional PPE for distribution to other health facilities, saying, “My contribution is to augment government’s pragmatic manner of handling the pandemic.”

Mrs. Vida Nkansah, a Physician Assistant in charge of the Jamasi health center, commended Barima Sarpong for his generosity.

She appealed to other philanthropists and organizations to support the Jamasi health center with enough PPE to inspire the staff.

To adhere to the party’s decision to protect incumbent female Members of Parliament in the Ashanti Region, Barima Sarpong rescinded his decision to contest the upcoming NPP Parliamentary primary in the Afigya Sekyere East constituency.

He has since been working with NPP leadership to boost the party’s electoral fortune at the 2020 general elections in the constituency.
