Dr. Joyce Aryee, the Chairperson of the Appiatse Support Fund Committe, in her remarks said the Minister’s show of leadership is exemplary and called on other ministers to follow his steps.

She disclosed that the President who made a GHC100,000 pledge has redeemed it, stressing that “the money has hit our account and we are grateful”

She assured the media that there is no scam and there will be no scam in the collection and disbursement of the funds. “this will be done as transparently as possible to cross out any questions and cynicism”

She also encouraged the media to propagate the gospel of the collection to enable more people contribute towards the fund and more importantly help rebuild the model community.

Meanwhile, the Chinese Embassy in Ghana has also presented a cheque of GHC50,000 Ghana cedis to support the aim of the fund.
