Hon Alexander Kwamina Afenyo-Markin, Majority Leader and Member of the Parliament(MP) of Ghana for the Effutu constituency in the Central Region has pledged to support each BECE graduate with GHc1000.

Hon Afenyo-Markin while on a campaign tour in his constituency Effutu last weekend, promised to support parents with money to buy groceries and other school items for their wards who are ready to go to Senior High School(SHS).

In the video sighted online, Afenyo-Markin was heard saying “I know we have free SHS, but i know some parents have some challenges. I have a message for you. My message is every parent is going to benefit GHc1000 to support buying provisions, school items as their wards go to school. This support is for parents who can’t afford to buy these items for their wards”.

It would be recalled that in 2023, Afenyo-Markin before the start of the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE) distributed about over 2,000 maths sets to BECE candidates in all public and private Junior High Schools in the Effutu Constituency.

He also made provision for several buses to convey candidates from their homes to the various BECE centers to avoid lateness and absenteeism.

In addition, Alexander Afenyo Markin as part of his support for the BECE candidates in his Constituency made arrangements for food to be provided for all candidates sitting for the exams.

The gesture was to ensure candidates writing the exams in his Constituency have a sound mind and concentration.

To top it up, Alexander Afenyo Markin also distributed sanitary pads to girls writing the BECE in his Constituency.
