Below is what Hon. Alhaji Ghansah wrote on his Facebook page; 

“Viewer discretion advised

Hope we all remember the sad story of this young boy whose sister and granny(in the pic) are both branch executives our party? The good news is that I have paid for all his surgical operation bills and ask the family to keep the donations after Adom FM’s Amoh’s documentary on his indisposition gone viral.

I pray Allah grant us  more so we can do more”

An amount of GHC 27,7000 as issued by the Surgical Department of the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital has been paid by the Honourable Member of parliament which has made it possible for little Richard to undergo a  successful surgery to reconstruct his rotten cheek.
