Residents of Karaga troop to the station for free fuel
Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, the former Finance Minister and current Member of Parliament (MP) for Karaga Constituency, has extended his generosity to many constituents by providing free fuel.
Four fuel stations in the Karaga district were designated to distribute the free fuel to residents.
Hundreds of residents arrived with motorbikes, vehicles and tractors to collect fuel allocations of GH¢50 for motorbikes, and between GH¢100 and GH¢200 for commercial tricycles and vehicles.
Alhaji Halim Tikuma, personal aide to the Karaga MP, told DAILY GUIDE that the free fuel initiative is a New Year gift to the constituency.
“This year has been challenging for farmers to sell their harvest, and most people are unable to buy fuel for their motorbikes to visit farms, workplaces or family. Commercial drivers of tricycles and vehicles also lack the money to buy fuel to run their businesses, so he decided to support them to ease the pressure,” he said.
He added that the MP will do everything within his power to address his constituents’ challenges.
Dr. Amin Adam has implemented numerous projects in the constituency, including initiatives in education, empowerment programmes, social and community development, rural electrification, skills-acquisition training, job placements in the public and private sectors, and road construction, among others.
