The storm, which occurred yesterday,Friday 28th at about 8pm has caused widespread destruction, affecting thousands of buildings, houses, and market places, including Nyinahin Senior High School, churches, and mosques.

Hon Osei Akoto is urging the government and philanthropists to provide immediate support to the victims of the rainstorm.

Honourable Seth Osei-Akoto, the current MP for Atwima Mponua, is highlighting the district’s vulnerability to natural disasters due to its inadequate infrastructure.Despite being a hub for agricultural production, with crops like cocoa, oil palm, citrus, and vegetables, the area’s roads and electricity infrastructure are in dire need of improvement.

The recent rainstorm has exacerbated the situation, and Hon. Akoto is appealing for support to address these challenges. As the MP, he has shown commitment to his constituents, demonstrated by his previous initiatives, such as donating essential items to students in the constituency.

To effectively address the infrastructure challenges, it’s essential to acknowledge the area’s economic potential and the need for sustainable development. Hon. Akoto’s efforts to regulate okada operations and promote economic growth are steps in the right direction.
