As part of efforts to make Ghanaians have a feel of the government’s ‘Better Ghana’ Agenda, the Member of Parliament for Domeabra-Obom in the Greater Accra region has presented assorted item worth millions of Cedis to communities in the constituency.

The items included 600 bags of cement for the construction of schools, sanitary facilities, 40 brand new laptops and computers and accessories, as well as two packets of roofing sheets and sewing machines for NYEP graduands.

According to the MP, Hon. Daoud Anum Yemoh, the cement and computers were funded from the MPs Common Fund while the roofing sheets and sewing machines were sponsored by himself and the government respectively.

He said the distribution is being done according to specific requests made by the various communities, noting “most of the communities want us to provide more educational infrastructure, particularly at the basic level followed by sanitation facilities including toilets.”

The delegates in the constituency, after a short presentation ceremony at Kwaku Pamfo, suggested that if the national and regional executives of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) would permit, their MP should contest the upcoming primaries unopposed.

Samuel Dartey, the officer in charge of water and sanitation in the Ga South Municipality told DAILY GUIDE that the water and sanitation situation has improved tremendously, saying “the MP is collaborating effectively with the assembly to solve the water and sanitation needs of the people.”

He said within a short period, the MP and the assembly have managed to sponsor the construction of about 20 boreholes and instituted pipe schemes for the delivery of mechanized water for the people, adding that “about 80 per cent of the constituency now has access to potable water”.

He said the MP has also rehabilitated all the damaged boreholes and instituted water projects for communities, which are yet to benefit from the water scheme.

Mr. Dartey also said some NGOs, particularly Action Aid, have tremendously assisted them by executing many developmental projects, saying “the effective collaboration between the MP, assembly and other stakeholders is yielding dividends.”

Samuel Awuku Kulego, NDC Chairman of Domeabra-Obom said “our MP is doing his best and it is up to us to offer our unflinching support for him to do more.”

“He is working hard to make basic education accessible for all. He has embarked on massive water and sanitation projects and is supporting establishment of clinic to see to the health needs of the people.”
He said the constituents want a police station to be established in the area, stressing that the MP has already paid for a plot of land at Kwaku Pamfo to pave way for the construction of a police post.

Mr. Kulego said “he is the first MP in the constituency to get so low with the people. He is always with us and understands our problems. His relationship with the constituency and ward executives is very cordial and that is helping to accelerate the development of the area.”
