Before doing his side of presentation of some of the tools to beneficiaries, the parliamentary candidate, Lawyer Kofi Obiri Yeboah said in his address that the welfare of youth of Subin is his heartbeat, and for that reason will ensure that they are given every employment or entrepreneurship support they deserve.
He indicated that even before surfacing to contest for the parliamentary seat, he has been lobbying tirelessly to support youth and residents as part of his efforts aimed at salvaging them from challenges confronting them.
The renowned legal practitioner said the foregoing mirrors the good thought he has for the people of Subin, assuring that his developmental support for residents of Subin will be in the multiple form when he is elected into office as the Member of Parliament.
