The Member of Parliament (MP) for Sunyani East, Kwasi Ameyaw-Cheremeh, has commissioned a dining hall facility for the Sunyani Nurses Training College.
Mr. Ameyaw-Cheremeh, at the commissioning, disclosed the cost of the project as GH¢100,000, which was funded with the MP’s share of the Health Fund, after a request was made by the school authorities and the student body.
According to him, the school authorities indicated that the manner at which food was being prepared at the Sunyani Municipal Hospital before it is transferred to the school’s premises was unpleasant, as it exposed the students to a whole lot of health risks.
He assured the school that as a legislator of the constituency, the commissioning of the dining hall facility would not be the end, but the beginning of lot more to come.
The Sunyani East MP noted that the problem of lack of the culture of maintenance among Ghanaians should not be entertained, and that the school authorities and the students should effectively espouse the culture of maintenance for the facility to meet its purpose.
He commended the school authorities for their support towards the rapid completion of the project to reduce the burden students have to go through before dining.
The Principal of the school, Mr. Francis Omono-Asamoah, commended the Member of Parliament for responding to their call on time, and appropriately.
He said the fulfillment of the request by Mr. Ameyaw-Cheremeh had improved the standard of the school, in terms of facilities, because it was an unfortunate scene for students to routinely carry tables and chairs to and from lecture rooms, before and after dining.
Mr. Omono-Asamoah further indicated that sometimes food meant to be served, incidentally fell, causing inconveniences for both the students and authorities, due to the manner in which the food was being transported.
He assured the MP of the effective maintenance of the facility, as required, to ensure its prolonged existence.
