The Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Hon. Akolbire Opam –Brown Emmanuel is to commit a sum of GHS 60,000 to desilt at least three major dams in two communities of his constituency.
Two of the dams earmarked for this project are sited at Sumbrungu, whiles the other is also located at Sherigo, all suburbs within the Bolga municipality.
Plans are far advanced for the smooth take off of the project which will be rolled out in a month’s time, the MP revealed in an interview with Ghanamps.gov.gh.
He said he had already secured a bulldozer from Zoomlion Ghana Limited, a giant in the waste management and sanitation sector, to aid the implementation of the project when it begins.
At least when the project is completed it will give locals access to water to enable them maintain their dry season and vegetable gardening, as well as help them get water for their cattle, he noted.
He disclosed that there were several dams existing that needed rehabilitation to improve the water yield for the constituents, especially locals living in remote communities, and thus pledged his commitment to help improve them to boost water supply.
However, with potable water, the MP mentioned certain five boreholes which are to be drilled for the people. All things being equal the project will be rolled out in a month’s time.
