The MP for Ofoase-Ayirebi, Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah, has commissioned a mechanised borehole system with four tanks and a solar panel to operate for residents of Akyem Akokoaso in the Ofoase-Ayirebi constituency.
The MP in partnership with non- governmental organisation, Coliso Ghana, provided the boreholes to improve water and sanitation conditions in the constituency.
The projects comprise two phases: the institution of mechanised boreholes to provide water and then a 12-seater modern toilet for residents.
Hitherto, residents of Akokuaso had limited access to potable water, but according to the lawmaker, “the project will bring relief to constituents as they will not have to travel far in search of potable drinking water for their household and businesses activities”.
“Facilitating development in the constituency is dear to me and hence I am committed to delivering on all promises to my constituents during my campaign. I will not relent on any efforts to lobby and facilitate the provision of development projects for the good people of Ofoase-Ayirebi,” Oppong-Nkrumah, who doubles as a deputy Information Minister assured.
He lauded the chiefs, assembly and committee members as well as the constituents for their support and efforts towards the construction of the mechanised boreholes, noting that their enthusiasm towards the project aided in delivering the task ahead of schedule.
Mr. Oppong-Nkrumah encouraged constituents to demonstrate same zeal during the execution of the next phase of the project. The next phase will see the construction of 12-seater modern toilet facilities across the constituency.
