Four farming communities in the Tano North Municipality in the Ahafo have been connected to the national electricity grid.

Dr Freda Prempeh, the Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources and the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tano North constituency facilitated the extension of power supply to the four deprived communities.

They include Mamponteng, Adagyamamu, Asantesua and Domeabra in the Bomaa enclave of the municipality.

Already, through the support of the MP, about 12 other communities in the Bomaa enclave had been connected to the national grid.

Addressing the rural dwellers at separate durbars in the beneficiary communities, Dr Prempeh told the residents the government remained committed to share the national cake equally, devoid of political considerations.

In addition, the MP said she had personally funded and provided solar power to some of the hard-to-reach cocoa growing communities in the area.

That Notwithstanding, Dr Prempeh said the only way the residents could appreciate the government was to rally solidly behind, and vote to retain the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in political power in the Election 2024 for the purpose of development.

She said power extension to the rural communities remained relevant to facility and enhance security, job and wealth creation and poverty reduction.

Dr Prempeh advised the young people in the area to take advantage of the power extension, engage in artisanal work such as hairdressing, dressmaking, tailoring and other viable economic activities to better their lots.

She assured the local people of her passion and desire to improve potable drinking water as well as health and education infrastructure to make life better for them.
