Speaking in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), Mr Acheampong said the donations were all made from his share of the MP’s common fund.
He said the donations were in response to an appeal made by the beneficiary communities during a visit to find out firsthand information about their developmental needs.
According to the Bia East MP, education and health played critical roles in the growth of every society, hence, the need to support projects meant to enhance education and health in the communities.
“I will continue to spread and support development projects across the length and breadth of the constituency irrespective of the location,” he added.
Mr Doe Peter, Assembly Member for Asemyinakrom Electoral Area, thanked the MP for his continuous support to the electoral area and the constituency as a whole.
He cited the construction of a CHPS Compound at Achiase as one of the projects being executed by the MP and said it would help improve healthcare service delivery in the area upon completion.
