Kofi Afful Benteh Reaffirms Commitment to Sefwi Wiawso Constituents, Supports 96 Students

The Member of Parliament for Sefwi Wiawso Constituency, Hon. Kofi Afful Benteh, has reaffirmed his commitment to supporting constituents through various initiatives aimed at improving their living conditions and promoting development in the area.

He gave the assurance during a community engagement following financial assistance provided to 96 tertiary and secondary school students to support their educational needs.

According to Hon. Benteh, his commitment to serving the people goes beyond politics and is driven by his desire to improve lives, create opportunities and help residents achieve a better standard of living.

He noted that over the years, he has supported various groups, including farmers, traders, women's groups, youth associations, artisans and students, through financial assistance, educational materials, health support and skills training initiatives.

He pledged to continue such interventions and explore additional ways to support the people of Sefwi Wiawso.

Hon. Benteh observed that although the constituency is endowed with rich human and natural resources, some residents continue to face challenges due to limited opportunities and inadequate support.

He therefore pledged to remain committed to the welfare of his constituents, stressing that leadership should be demonstrated through compassion, service and practical efforts to address the needs of the people.

He also called on residents to unite across political divides and support development-oriented initiatives that would contribute to the progress of the constituency.

Speaking on his behalf, Mr. Clement Apeweh reiterated the MP's commitment to improving the lives of constituents and supporting initiatives that promote education and community development.

Beneficiaries Applaud Support for Education

Meanwhile, some beneficiaries of the financial assistance have praised Hon. Kofi Afful Benteh for his generosity and continued support for education in the Sefwi Wiawso Constituency.

The 96 secondary and tertiary students expressed appreciation for the intervention, describing it as timely and significant in helping them meet their educational expenses.

According to the beneficiaries, the support comes at a time when many parents and guardians are struggling to pay school fees and provide basic educational necessities for their children because of economic challenges.

They explained that the financial assistance would help them purchase books, pay part of their school fees and meet other academic expenses.

One of the beneficiaries, a Level 300 student at the University of Education, Winneba, commended Hon. Benteh for investing in the future of young people.

The student described the MP's gesture as an example of leadership that prioritises the welfare and future prospects of the youth.

Another beneficiary, a second-year student of Sefwi Wiawso Senior High School, expressed gratitude to the MP, describing him as a father figure to many students and a source of encouragement to young people in the constituency.

The student also prayed for God's blessings and long life for Hon. Benteh to enable him to continue supporting the development of education and the welfare of the people.

Parent Commends Intervention

A parent of one of the beneficiaries also expressed appreciation to Hon. Benteh, explaining that the financial support had eased some of the pressure on her family and provided renewed hope for her child's education.

The parent noted that assistance of this nature could make a meaningful difference in the lives of families facing financial difficulties while trying to keep their children in school.

The beneficiaries and their supporters consequently appealed to other well-meaning individuals, philanthropists and community leaders to emulate the gesture by investing in education and supporting initiatives that improve the lives of young people.

They stressed that sustained investment in education remains essential to developing the human resource base of Sefwi Wiawso and creating opportunities for future generations.

The support to the 96 students highlights the importance of partnerships between public officials, private individuals, parents and other stakeholders in addressing educational challenges and promoting community development.
