THE National Democratic Congress Member of Parliament for Sege, Mr Alfred Abayateye has donated television sets and generators worth GH¢8,000 to a number of communities in his constituency to enable the people watch the on-going World Cup in South Africa.
The beneficiary communities, who are all not hooked to the national grid included Kablevu, Kportitsekope, Goi Okorhuesisi, Talibanya, Ada Luta, Amuyaokope, Ayisah, Madavunu and Kpetuhor.
Speaking to the Daily Graphic, Mr Abayateye said that even though the beneficiary communities were remote, it was only fair that they were able to watch proceedings of the first World Cup event staged in Africa.
He stated that sports had become a unifying factor and every effort should be made to allow the youth, in particular have a feel of this historic event.
“This is my widow’s mite to make the people happy. This is a period during which Ghanaians forget about the political affiliations and any investment towards such a cause is in the right direction”.
Mr Abayateye commended officials and players of the national soccer team, the Black Stars for lifting the flag of Africa high in South Africa and expressed the hope that they would continue to work hard to win more laurels for Ghana and Africa.
