Wa West MP connects ten communities to boreholes project.

There was spontaneous joy in ten communities in the Wa West Constituency in the Upper West Region when the Member of Parliament (MP) for the area, Peter Lanchene Toobu together with his DCE , carried out a promise to connect the communities to a hand pumped boreholes for the supply of potable drinking water.

At a separate commissioning of the project, one thing was clear – the residents were delighted to have, for the first time in several years, potable drinking water and for other house chores.

Nerikoteng ,Mwaakpaa and Yizie could not hide their joy while indicating that they previously had to trek for hours to fetch water from a dugout.

“Pupils walk several kilometres to fetch water from dugouts before they attend schools, which resulted in lateness on a daily basis,” one resident of Erebierteng told Yagbon News.

The challenges the communities faced sourcing water came to light during the commissioning of the one of the boreholes in those communities

A community elder from Erebierteng commended the MP for constructing the borehole for the benefit of his community.

He said the MP, by completing and handing over the borehole to them, indicated that he was concerned about the challenges his people went through in sourcing water for household chores and, most especially, for drinking.

He was optimistic that the construction of the borehole would not be the last thing the MP would carry out in the area and that the community would benefit from other projects.

Addressing the gathering, Hon .Peter explained that he was compelled to do the project based on a request from the inhabitants.

He pointed out that given that water was life, he did not joke with the request. As a result, he took it upon herself to ensure the speedy execution of the project to save lives.

He therefore, called on the residents to make the maintenance culture their hallmark on the borehole project because it was the source of livelihoods.
