Member of Parliament for Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) Constituency in the Central Region, Hon. Samuel Atta-Mills, in cooperation with the REHOBOTH Foundation has provided residents of Saman Abotar Park a portable drinking water.

The project which appears an initiative of the Member of Parliament, sort to address the long-standing challenges the community has faced in accessing clean drinking water.

Saman Abotar Park, a suburb of Abrem Agona, has been battling access to potable drinking water, just like many other communities and villages within the constituency.

The KEEA MP over the water challenges in his constituency, calls out on government to put in strenuous efforts to improve rural water supply to achieve Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Six by 2030.

The global goal six as stipulated, ensures the availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all, but current water coverage, according to statistics from the Community Water and Sanitation Agency (CWSA) is around 65.7% in Ghana.

Addressing the media during commissioning of the water project, Special Aide to the MP, Hon. Philip Bosomtwi Amoah, extended Hon. Samuel Atta Mills’ appreciation to the REHOBOTH Foundation for their generosity, highlighting that the mechanized borehole will relieve residents who trek several miles in search of good drinking water.

Residents of the community on the maintenance culture to the water project, were further encouraged to pay maximum attention to the facility by putting it to good use.

Hon. Philip Bosomtwi Amoah again appealed to the foundation to collaborate with the Office of the MP to undertake other projects in the constituency, which include mechanized boreholes for communities like Sefwi Awona, the Fulani community at Komenda, New Ebu, Abbina, among others.

Residents of Saman Abotar Park, however, commended the MP for his effort towards solving their water challenges without central government intervention, which goes to buttress the fact that they made a good choice in voting Hon. Samuel Atta-Mills as their Member of Parliament.
