Delali Setugah Forgive The most projected candidate to win the KNUST SRC Women’s Commission race Miss Delali Setugah Forgive has publicly stated that should she be elected, she will set up “The Aketesia Fund” to compliment the KBN Fund. In her manifesto speech which she aired live on Focus Fm this Sunday, Miss Setugah stated that:, “The KBN and Bursary over the years have been of tremendous help to students and this cannot be underestimated but rather improved upon. My little and yet detailed research has equipped me with information that only about 15% of female students benefit from them. This is partly due to the overwhelming formalities and scrutinizing and also partly due to lack of knowledge about them. The Aketesia fund will be established to compliment the KBN and Bursary and will be made for female students with zero stress and frustration in accessibility.” She ended her speech urging students to vote for her as she has better plans for all.
