Effutu MP, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, has donated GHC100,000 to the Winneba Municipal Health Directorate to support efforts in combating cholera in the constituency.

The former Municipal Chief Executive, Alhaji Kassim Zubeiru, presented the donation on behalf of the legislator, reaffirming Afenyo-Markin’s commitment to eliminating the disease from Effutu.

The contribution was made on February 12, 2025, with the leadership of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in attendance, including local chiefs and other key figures.

“This morning [February 12] we are here with some party executives, chiefs and people of Atekyedo to make a donation of one hundred thousand cedis [GHC100,000] to support the fight against cholera.

The MP is ever ready to support in the fight against the disease although he is not in the constituency now,” former MCE Kassim Zubeiru said.

The former Municipal Chief Executive also cautioned people living along the coastline of Effutu to keep their environment clean while avoiding open defecation which has been identified as one of the primary sources of the disease.

“We must maintain sanity, and cleanliness and avoid open defecation. The MP has built many toilets in these communities and I urge them to use the facilities. This to a larger extent will bring down the spread. The MP, Afenyo-Markin is not happy about the spread and is working with health authorities to deal with the situation,” Kassim Zubeiru said.

The directorate expressed its appreciation to Afenyo-Markin.
