As part of his 51st birthday celebration, the Member of Parliament for Sekondi Lawyer Andrew Egyapa Mercer, has made a donation to traders in his constituency.

Mercer, who doubles as the Minister for Tourism, Arts and Culture; distributed a total of 420,000 Ghana cedis, providing 1,000 cedis each to 420 traders in Sekondi.

The donation aims to bolster the businesses of traders who have long struggled with insufficient capital.

Speaking in an interview on Connect FM’s Omanbapa Morning Show, Mercer emphasized the non-partisan nature of the donation.

"We did it without any political party affiliation; any trader who needed the support was given.

“Many still need financial support for their businesses, and we shall continue to seek further assistance to ensure everyone is satisfied," Mercer stated.

He encouraged the beneficiaries to use the grants wisely to maximize their profitability.

Leader of the Sekondi Market, Nana Krah, who facilitated the organization of the beneficiaries, expressed gratitude on behalf of the traders.

She acknowledged Mercer’s sensitivity to the challenges faced by women in the constituency and praised his continuous support.

The donation was made through the Egyapa Care Foundation, a non-profit organization founded by the MP.
