MP stops sale of school block

Mr. Albert Kwaku Obbin, MP for Prestea/Huni-Valley has taken measures to prevent NDC branch executives at Cocoa-Shed, a village near Prestea, from an alleged sale of two JSS classroom blocks to a private developer.

He has also given the party executives up to February 4, to render accounts of building materials still in their possession to the chief of the village.

Mr. Obbin said due to the long distance that the children have to walk to school at Prestea, the inhabitants started the school project through communal labour. The former NDC MP donated some bags of cement and roofing sheets to help complete the blocks.

He said when the NDC lost the recent elections its executives in the village allegedly began negotiations with a private developer to buy the classroom blocks.

A concerned citizen informed the MP, who intervened to stop the alleged sale, saying the school is for the community and not the NDC executives and can therefore not be sold by any individual or group.
