Vice presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia Friday delivered 500 dual desk to the pupils of Kperisi Primary School in the Wa Municipality of Upper West Region.

The delivery of the desk was in fulfillment of a promise made by Dr Bawumia last week when he visited the school following media reports that lack of furniture has forced pupils to lie on bare floors to take lessons.

However, three days after Dr Bawumia ordered the desks to be supplied, the Wa Municipal Assembly, which was said to have ignored several pleas from the school, finally presented 200 desks to the school in what many have described as a "face-saving" response.

Notwithstanding, the Upper West Regional Chairman of the Party, Alhaj Abdul Rahaman Abubakari at a short ceremony Friday, presented the furniture on behalf Bawumia to the headmaster of the school.
