The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nkwanta North Constituency in the Volta Region, John Oti Bless, has commissioned a Dam for residents of Sibi Central and Hill Top in his constituency.
The project which was funded partly with the MP’s share of the Common Fund and the MP’s personal donation, is meant to help solve the acute water problem being faced by the residents of the two communities.
The dam which was constructed within 10 days will also help farmers have access to water for irrigation purposes.
“It cost GH₵ 30,000 to construct the dam; it forms part of my bigger dream of ensuring that residents in part of the constituency where there is water crisis have access to clean water by 2020”, he said.
The MP who commissioned the project over the weekend said the dam was going to last a period of 10 to 15 years after which major repair works will have to be done on it.
The former Deputy Minister urged the chiefs and people of Sibi Central and Hill Top to take very good care of the dam.
I am a native of Sibi Hill Top, i started my basic education at Sibi Hill Top L/A primary school, water issues has being a major problem in those two communities due to that Teachers were not accepting postings to does places, I think the MP has broken the walls that our past leaders couldn’t do for our people even doe we are not living there now but that is where we belongs to. Hon. MP Oti Bless, May God continue to bless you as your name goes Bless and protect from the enemies.
