Former Vice President Dr. Bawumia [L] and the victim
Former Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has reportedly gifted GH¢100,000 to Bernard Mensah, a dedicated Mampoma Polling Station Officer in the Twifo Atti-Morkwa Constituency of the Central Region.
Mensah suffered a near-fatal electrical accident while fixing streetlight bulbs on electric poles during the 2024 election campaign, resulting in the loss of one of his hands.
In a video shared on social media, Dr. Bawumia is heard appreciating Mensah’s dedicated service to the NPP and informing him that he has a token to support his upkeep. He also assured him of further assistance whenever needed.
“When I saw pictures after your accident, I was very saddened. It is not easy—you have gone through a lot of pain. You could have even died. We thank God for your life. Sorry for what you have gone through. I am here for you. I have asked that they give you something small to support your upkeep. If you need further help, don’t hesitate to reach out. We will give you all the support you need,” Dr. Bawumia said.
The beneficiary, on the other hand, expressed gratitude to Dr. Bawumia for his kind gesture and wished him well, especially in his future political endeavors as he seeks to lead the country as President.
