Hon. Attor recounted that the President of MUSIGA, Bice Osei Kuffour contacted them and presented a proposal on their requirements and reasons why they needed those. He added that after series of meetings, they finally agreed on the volume of support and commended the seriousness and aggressiveness with which the President worked to ensure that the help they needed will get to them.
