Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Accra, Jan. 22- Mr Alban Sumana Kingsford Bagbin, the Speaker of Parliament, has extend his condolences to families of the victims of the Appiatse disaster in the Bogoso District of the Western Region.<\/p>\n

The Speaker in a statement issued by the Public Affairs Directorate of Parliament said: “I received with shock and sadness, the news of an accident that resulted in the tragic loss of lives, varying degrees of injury and loss of property on the Bawdie-Bogoso road in the town of Appiatse in the Western Region”.<\/p>\n

“I extend my condolence and prayers to the victims of the accident and their families, whose pain and grief at this moment will be unimaginable,” he added.<\/p>\n

Quoting the Psalmist from the Bible, the Speaker said, “The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” The Speaker added that this was the assurance he had for all those in grief as a result of the accident.<\/p>\n

“I entreat all Ghanaians to remember them in their prayers, and encourage all those in adjourning communities to offer whatever help they can to the victims and the displaced.”<\/p>\n

Mr Bagbin said supplies such as food, water, building materials, clothing and other essentials would be most welcome. “Let us, in the proverbial Ghanaian spirit of love and brotherliness, help them to rebuild their lives.<\/p>\n

“I will be playing my part in mobilising support for the community affected in this emergency situation, and I can count on your support as well,” the Speaker said.<\/p>\n

“Together, we can restore hope to those affected by this unfortunate incident,” he added.<\/p>\n
