A Council of State Member, Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple, has once again shown his strong support for grassroots development by donating seven motorcycles to the Duamenefa Foundation to facilitate the work of community reporters.

The motorcycles, which have been officially distributed across Keta Municipality, Akatsi South, Ketu South, Ketu North, Anlo Districts, and Togo Zanguera (Segbe, Akanu, and its environs for cross-border reporting), will enhance mobility and efficiency for journalists covering critical local issues.

Speaking on behalf of the Duamenefa Foundation and Fafaa FM, the Executive Board of Governors expressed their deep appreciation for Kwamigah-Atokple’s generosity.

In their official acknowledgment, they emphasised the positive impact of this support on the foundation’s ongoing activities and the over 46,000 members who benefit from its community-centered programs.

“The chiefs, assembly members, and community leaders, together with the general public, are grateful to God for your sponsorship of the AGENDA 2024, 2025, and 2026 project,” the letter stated.

The Duamenefa Foundation, a respected community-focused organization, plays a vital role in investigative journalism, social interventions, and advocacy. With this donation, the foundation’s reporters will now have the necessary resources to reach remote areas, document pressing issues, and contribute to the socio-economic progress of their communities.

Kwamigah-Atokple, in his remarks, reaffirmed his strong support for community development and called on other stakeholders to assist similar initiatives that promote civic engagement.

This initiative aligns with Kwamigah-Atokple's broader vision of strengthening community engagement in governance and development efforts.

The Council of State member representing the Volta Region is also founder of the Tanko Foundation.

This follows two major events that Gabriel Tanko Kwamigah-Atokple participated in, in the last few days, notable among them being the 68th Independence Day celebrations at the Jubilee House.

Following that, the Council of State Member, together with the Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, chiefs and elders, the Regional Chairman of the NDC, Mautor Agbavitor, Members of Parliament and constituency executives, received the President of the Republic, John Dramani Mahama, and his entourage on his visit to the Volta Region.

President Mahama's visit to Ketu South, according to him, "is proof of his commitment to the people of the Volta Region.

"He personally assessed the devastating impact of the tidal waves that have ravaged our communities, displacing families and destroying livelihoods. The president not only witnessed the destruction firsthand but also took swift action by providing relief items to affected residents. Indeed, today, hope looked upon us through the eyes of God."

It must be stated that President Mahama immediately directed the Minister of Finance to include the continuation of the sea defense project for areas along the coastal towns of the Ketu South enclave in the upcoming national budget.
