Okaikwei North MP urges assembly to fund night drivers for fire emergencies

Okaikwei North MP Theresa Lardi Awuni Okaikwei North Member of Parliament, Theresa Lardi Awuni has urged the Asunafo South District Assembly to use part of its Internally Generated Funds (IGF) to hire night drivers to support emergency fire response in the district.

Awuni urged the Assembly to consider the financial implications of the proposal and explore the use of its IGF to pay the drivers, rather than allow a lack of night-driving support to undermine emergency fire response.

The legislator, who is also a member of Parliament’s Local Government and Rural Development Committee, made the appeal when the Asunafo South District Assembly appeared before the committee to present its 2025 Annual Statement by the Audit Committee.
