As a basic necessity of life, the MP promised to ensure every deprived community in the constituency benefited from the boreholes to enable the people to easily access potable drinking water by 2022.

“Seriously, I am lobbying for support from development partners. Apart from potable drinking water, it’s my desire to ensure improved education, health and road network in the constituency”, Dr. Prempeh said.

She indicated her determination to put up durbar grounds in all the major communities in the constituency, adding so far about 15 durbar grounds were constructed, while work on 10 additional ones were progressing.

“I have also built a modern Astro-Turf at Koforidua and soon work on a 5,000 capacity stand would commence to promote sporting activities”, Dr. Prempeh added.
