The Minister also donated four sets of jerseys, four footballs and cartons of assorted items, and a cash of GHC1,100 to the youth of Kpone, towards their up-coming inter-community soccer games.

The MP later inspected some on-going projects in his constituency, including classroom units, road networks, pavements, drainage and street light projects at Oyibi, Michel Camp, Gbetsile, Katamanso, Sebrepor, Kpone, and other surrounding communities. He was optimistic that these projects would be completed and commissioned before the end of the year.
