The Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon is forfeiting three months of her salary to help her constituents.
The funds, according to Lydia Alhassan will be used to “support the vulnerable and needy” in the constituency during the Covid-19 pandemic.
She is flowing the footsteps of President Akufo-Addo who on Friday ordered the Comptroller and Accountant General to pay his April, June and July Salaries into Ghana’s COVID-19 Fund.
The Fund which will be managed by independent board of trustees, and chaired by the former Chief Justice, Sophia Akuffo will receive contributions and donations from the public to assist in the welfare of the needy and vulnerable as the country fights to curb the spread of the coronavirus.
