The National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s candidate for the Assin North by-election, James Gyakye Quayson, has pledged support to the kids of the party member who lost her life in an accident during campaign. 

The four kids will receive a welfare endowment package of ¢500 each every month towards their upbringing. 

With this, each of the four surviving children will have ¢2,000 upkeep money. 

To demonstrate his commitment towards his pledge, Mr Quayson has made a one-year deposit of ¢24,000 into the Children's Welfare Endowment Fund. 

This was announced by the National Communications Officer of the party, Sammy Gyamfi at the one-week funeral rite of the deceased. 

Mr Gyamfi also added that the candidate has also pledged to bear full cost of medical treatment for one of the kids with glaucoma at the Interbeton Hospital in Cape Coast.

“Hon. James Gyakye Quayson has pledged a welfare endowment package of GH500.00 every month towards the upbringing of each of the four surviving children.”

“This brings their monthly upkeep to an amount of GH2,000.00. As a demonstration of his personal commitment to this cause, Hon. James Gyakye made a one-year deposit of  GH24,000.00 into the Children's Welfare Endowment fund, with a further pledge to bear the full cost of medical treatment for one of the kids with glaucoma at the Interbeton Hospital.”

The woman was confirmed dead with several others injured in a road accident at Dansame, a community in the Assin North constituency.
