The Suhum Municipal Chief Executive, Hon Mrs Margaret Darko Darkwa has commissioned a completed mechanised bore hole for the people of Abenabo, a community in the Suhum Municipality.
The water project which was started by the Member of Parliament for Suhum Constituency, Hon Frederick Opare Ansah way back 2012 has not been able to serve it's intended purpose of providing the people of Abenabo community portable water.
The Hon MCE upon information reaching her office that the dug borehole is not serving it's intended purpose in the community is due to the unconnected to electricity, immediately ordered for the connection to be done as soon as possible.
As we speak, Abenabo community is enjoying "sweet" water. In her address to the youth of Abenabo community, the Hon MCE cautioned that, the radio station and other social media must be the last to resort to when all the appropriate channels in solving their community problems have been futile.
The Hon MCE was responding to recent radio and social media reportage that Abenabo community drinks from waste of dead bodies from Suhum Government Hospital. She assured that Government and the Assembly are there for them to access in case of any problem.
Chief denies, radio report
The Odikuro of Abenabo community, Nene Narteh Akotia lll vehemently rejected the news put out there into the public that he and his people drink water from dead bodies. He denied such thing has ever happened in his community. According to him, water has been one of their problems in the community where by people have to walk some distance to fetch water for domestic purpose. He condemned the section of the youth who will for reasons known to themselves lie to tannish the image of their forefathers and those alive in the community.
Nene Narteh Akotia lll pleaded with the Hon MCE to forgive the youth for it is possible the devil has found work for the idle mind.
The Hon MCE enumerated some benefits Abenabo community shall soon enjoy under the able leadership of his Excellency Nana Addo Dankwah Akufo Addo Government. According to her, the One District One Factory which is almost ready to kick off in the Municipality, will buy tomatoes directly from the farmers of Abenabo community and that they will be no need for them to travel far to sell their vegetables which sometimes don't get ready market resulting in huge loses. The people were very happy when the MCE pronounced Government's plan to refresh their old cocoa farms where Government is embarking on an exercise to cut down all old cocoa trees to pave way for fresh and mechanised ones for the farmers to enjoy. According to her Government will pay some money to those who will be affected for two years when the farm will be ready to be handed over back to the farmers. This she said is Government plan to increase cocoa yield in the country.
The Hon MCE proceeded to commission the mechanised borehole which according to the people will reduce the problem of water shortage in the community.
