The Director of the Corporation, Xie Dahu said the country should not be ravaged by the pandemic and that the gesture was the Corporation’s contribution to help fight the virus.
He expressed gratitude to the government for taking measures to help combat the pandemic.
The Deputy Minister in charge of Power, William Owuraku Aidoo, who received the items, promised to distribute the items equitably to staff of the Ministry and its affiliate agencies.
