A significant milestone was achieved for the residents of Karaga as Ghana’s Finance Minister and Member of Parliament, Dr. Mohammed Amin Adam, officially commissioned a state-of-the-art Digital Water System aimed at alleviating the chronic water scarcity in the Karaga District.
Dr. Amin Adam reflected on his commitment to improving water access in the Karaga District, revealing that he has overseen the drilling of 150 boreholes since taking office.
Despite previous efforts by past administrations to provide water solutions, many had fallen short. He candidly shared the challenges he faced, noting that his initial eight boreholes in Karaga Township yielded no water.
This setback prompted him to consult with experts, leading to the development of the innovative water system that promises to serve the community for the next 20 to 50 years.
The project, initially estimated at Ghc 10 million, required an additional Ghc 8 million due to the considerable distance between the water source in Zeyeli and the treatment plant located three miles away in Kunduli. The initiative includes the installation of 48 digital water taps and 25 traditional standpipes, bringing the total to 67 distribution points across the district.
Dr. Amin Adam expressed gratitude for the opportunity to make a difference in his constituency and prayed for continued support to further enhance the lives of his constituents.
In addition to his efforts in improving water access, Dr. Amin Adam has also made significant contributions to education. He has provided financial assistance to 1,000 tertiary students during his tenure and supported 687 junior high school graduates with Ghc 500 each to facilitate their transition to secondary education. He emphasized the importance of nurturing the youth as future leaders of the nation.
Northern Regional Minister Shani Alhassan Shaibu commended the project, highlighting its incorporation of smart tap and solar technologies—cutting-edge advancements in the water sector. He urged the people of Karaga to recognize the transformative development projects initiated by voting for the MP and Vice President in the upcoming elections.
