Kumawu MP supports drivers and riders with tools to boost livelihoods

The Member of Parliament for the Kumawu Constituency, Ernest Yaw Anim, has donated assorted platform effects and essential working tools to drivers and riders operating within the constituency, in a move aimed at improving livelihoods and strengthening grassroots economic activity.

The intervention forms part of the MP’s ongoing engagement with key professional groups whose daily work underpins transportation, commerce, and local economic growth in Kumawu. Drivers and riders, widely regarded as the backbone of community mobility, were the direct beneficiaries of the support.

Presenting the items, Ernest Yaw Anim reiterated his commitment to the welfare of transport operators, describing them as indispensable partners in constituency development.

He noted that beyond transporting people, drivers and riders play a crucial role in linking communities, facilitating trade, and sustaining social and economic interactions across Kumawu.

“Drivers and riders are indispensable to our development agenda. When they thrive, the entire community benefits,” he said, adding that his office remains focused on initiatives that directly improve the lives of hardworking constituents.

According to the MP, the donation is part of a broader strategy to empower working-class groups, particularly those in the informal sector who face daily operational and financial challenges.

He explained that targeted support of this nature is essential for enhancing productivity and building a resilient local economy.

“This support is intended to motivate our drivers and riders to continue their hard work while easing some of the burdens associated with their daily operations,” he noted.

Beneficiaries expressed appreciation for the gesture, describing it as timely and impactful. They stated that the support reflects responsive, people-centred leadership and pledged their continued cooperation towards peace, unity, and sustained development in the Kumawu Constituency.

The donation, observers say, underscores Ernest Yaw Anim’s hands-on approach to leadership and his focus on addressing practical needs at the grassroots level, while reinforcing the importance of community-based interventions in driving local development.
