The items included Desktop Computer, B/W Printer, UPS, Scanner, Photocopier, Air conditioner, Executive chair, Office table, Office cabinet, Table top fridge and Visitors chairs.

Dr Callistus Mahama, Head of LGSS, who presented the items, said the gesture was also to build the capacities of all the 46 MMAs for utmost performance.

Dr Mahama said their outfits had noticed that the district assemblies are faced with logistics, and that, the supply of the equipment would address some of their problems and urged them to handle the equipment safely.
