He continued that he would spearhead an advocacy to bring on board other non-governmental organisations and corporate organisations would come in to support.

Mr Emmanuel Obeng, the NADMO Director at the Sekyere Kumawu District eulogised the donors for their benevolence and went further to appealed that, the situation of the victims needs more attention therefore the government must intervene with immediate effect.
