A group calling itself concerned citizens of the area in a statement expressed gratitude to the MP who has built six dams for the district, a gesture they say will help eradicate the perennial water challenge facing 95 communities in the Sekyere Afram Plains District.

Only a few of these communities currently have dug-out dams and boreholes with constant water shortages hence the MPs intervention is timely.

The intervention according to the resident will prevent a situation where they share the water with animals.

“We, the members of the Concerned Citizens of Sekyere Afram Plains, and several well meaning citizens of the area have made countless calls to organizations, the District assembly, and NGOs to come to our aid but to no avail.

This is why we, on behalf of the people of Saabrewa, Akuma, Funesua, Offe, Abura and Compelle commend our Member of Parliament for the dug-out dams he has constructed for them.

Even though the number is still very small, looking at the large nature of the district, we want to commend him and tell him to construct more; at least, it won’t be bad to have one dam in each community” the statement said.
