Residents of Agona East District lament decades-long struggle without electricity

Residents of eight communities in the Agona East District, including Kofi Abam, Okotokwa, and Kwame Ntiful, have faced decades without electricity, severely affecting their daily lives and economic growth.

School children struggle to study at night, and businesses relying on power are suffering.

The absence of electricity also heightens security concerns as residents rely on candles and lanterns for light.

Local leaders express frustration over government inaction despite promises.

Agona East MP Queenstar Mame Pokuah Sawyerr blames the current government for obstructing her efforts to connect these communities to the national grid.
