Bekwai (Ashanti Region) -- Kofi Poku-Adusei, NPP Member of Parliament for Bekwai, has offered to pay the medical bills of the four students of Bekwai Seventh-Day Adventist Secondary School hospitalised for injuries they sustained when lighting struck the school recently.
They are Anita Aboagye, 15, Ernestina Ataa Kwartemaa, 16, Sara Manu 15, all first year students and Beatrice Afoakwa, a second year student. The lighting that accompanied a torrential rainfall killed Linda Okyere, a student of the school and Miss Akua Sara, a seamstress.
Poku-Adusei's offer came during a visit to the school to express his sympathy to the authorities of the school and the victims. The MP appealed to the teachers and students to put the tragic incident behind them and carry on with their academic work.
Madam Mercy Adu Tiwaah, the Headmistress, said they were becoming apprehensive at the way lighting continues to strike the school. The recent incident was the third in three years, she said, adding that they wished there could be a technological device to protect the school.
