THE MEMBER of Parliament for Domeabra-Obom in the Greater Accra region, Daoud Anum Yemoh has inspected developmental projects in his constituency. The MP after his inspection declared “our promise to deliver a Better Ghana Agenda is on course.”

He visited 4 out of 13 electoral areas to check progress of work on the construction of schools, clinics, water systems, upgrading of feeder roads and rural electrification projects.

The tour took the MP, his entourage and some NDC constituency executives to communities like Fankyeneko, Domefaase, Paanor, Kofi Kwei, Obom and ended at Odumah Suaba.

The Domeabra-Obom constituency shares political boundaries with four other constituencies including Trobu-Amasaman, Weija, Aburi-Nsawam and Lower West Akim.

At Fankyeneko, the foundation for the construction of a six-unit classroom block had been completed while at Domefaase, a two-classroom block has also been completed; one constructed by World Vision and another by the Ga South Municipal Assembly were awaiting commissioning by President Mills.

The six-unit classroom block at Paanor has been roofed and plastered but is awaiting painting and furnishing, with the toilet facilities already completed and in use.

At Kofi Kwei, a satellite clinic has been completed and yet to be commissioned. A mechanized pipe system to supply water for the community has been erected but some work must be done on it to aid water flow.

At Obom, an ICT center has been completed with sponsorship from Samsung while the main town’s football pitch is being refurbished to promote sporting activities.
Odumah Suaba already has a six-unit classroom block and another is under construction.

Furthermore, almost every town or village visited had electricity supply but the constituency has no senior high school.

“I lobbied to get O’rielly Senior High School to the constituency but due to chieftaincy problems it had to be taken to Teshie but I am still collaborating with the assembly to get an SHS for the constituents,” said Mr. Anum Yemoh.

He said “when I became MP in January 2005, only four communities had electricity. Today, about 66 towns and villages have been hooked onto the national grid under the rural electrification programme.”

He said the provision of educational infrastructure has been a priority for him and that he was determined to ensure that every child in the constituency had access to quality education.

“There are brilliant but needy students in my constituency and I have been sponsoring them to access education particularly at the basic level. I also sponsor teachers to training college for further studies.”

The MP noted that he would continue to collaborate with the assembly and lobby for projects so that the potential of the constituency would be realized.

The NDC Constituency Organizer, Daniel Danfro and the Women’s Organizer, Aminatu Osumanu were all happy with the performance of the MP so far.

Mr. Danfro said “he is always listening to us on the ground to know about the needs of our people. He has particularly tasked us to ensure that the Better Ghana Agenda is on course.”

Madam Osumanu said “there is not a single week that our MP does not come down to the constituency to visit us. He is in touch with us all the time and knows what goes on in the constituency.”
