• The young Ghanaian asked the regional minister for financial help in the comment section of a post he made

The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr Frank Amoakohene, gave a Facebook follower some money to help the person buy her school books.

The regional minister shared a post on his Facebook timeline indicating the bus schedule for a tour to Lake Bosomtwe.

“Lake Bosomtwe, 30 buses are available. KNUST, AAMUSTED, Anloga, High School Junction, Amakom Shell, Mampong.”

In the comment section, one person asked the regional minister for help and left her details as part of the post in case Dr Frank Amoakohene wanted to help.

“My father, please, I need 400gh for my school books, please. 0592118812... Kwakyewaa Mavis.”

The Minister responded and asked the follower to send him her account details.

“Ok, send momo number,” Dr Frank Amoakohene responded.

The young lady did not immediately confirm if the regional minister sent the money via mobile money or any other means as pledged. The regional minister had also not confirmed the same by the time of publishing this article.
