As a government, we are intending to fight this without any political colour.”
So my District Chief Executive and I have decided in collaboration with all those who are stakeholders, to ensure that this distribution is done in a manner without political colour. That is why he indicated that we are targeting certain pivotal areas for distribution among which are market centres, health centres, houses of chiefs, sub-chiefs and assembly members”.

He warned that anyone found flouting the directives when prosecuted and found guilty may receive a hefty fine or face a jail term.
Mr. Kpemka commended residents of the area for their cooperation and urged them to be law-abiding and work closely with the assembly and security agencies to ensure the safety of all.
He further appealed to philanthropists and benevolent organizations for more PPE to support the district in its fight against COVID-19.
District Chief Executive Mr. Paul Abugre said, his outfit will continue to sensitize the citizenry on COVID-19 preventive measures and ensure full compliance as such to avert the spread of the virus in the area.
