Popular Ghanaian media personality, Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah, has extended kindness to the residents of Agona, located in the Sekyere South District of the Ashanti Region of Ghana.

This comes after the television show host helped fund a newly constructed borehole to provide potable water to the Agona community.

The borehole was presented to the chiefs and people of Agona during the Easter holidays.

According to the caption on the trending video, the borehole, which cost GH¢80,000, was funded from the coffers of the For The Records Charity, a special non-profit organisation established to support less developed communities and the poor in society.

The donation reportedly aligned with Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah's commitment towards fostering development in Agona and surrounding communities.

In a video circulating on social media, the media personality, who is the host of the For The Records show, was accompanied by the chiefs and elders of the town to commission the project.

Following the commissioning of the project, the chiefs and elders of Agona expressed gratitude to Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah for his gesture.

“When the townsfolk informed you about water challenges in the area, you took it upon yourself to single-handedly resolve it. We are regretful for this. We pray for God's guidance in all your endeavours. May your plans and wishes for this community be fulfilled," one of the chiefs prayed for him.

Speaking after the handing-over ceremony, Okatakyie thanked the chiefs and elders for donating the land and for their support in ensuring the project was completed on schedule.

"We don't have much, but thanks to your prayers, we were able to raise enough to build the project. I pray for blessings and guidance from the elders of this community so that I can keep supporting whenever the need arises," he added.

Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah is the chief of Oyoko, one of the clans in the Agona community.
