The Member of Parliament (MP) for Kumbungu Constituency in the Northern Region, Dr Hamza Adam in collaboration with Wulugu project has on Monday March 21, 2022 commissioned a three newly mechanized borehole facility for three communities within his constituency.
The beneficiary communities include Bognayili, Zangbalung and Aflao a suburb of Kumbungu.
The project, an initiative of the Member of Parliament was fully funded by Wulugu Project, a Charity Organization based in the Northern Region.
The beneficiary communities have been battling with access to portable drinking water, just like many other communities and villages within the constituency.
Addressing the media after the commissioning, the MP noted that, the three borehole project forms part of 21 other borehole projects that his outfit and development partners intends constructing across most communities within the district.
He indicated that, the borehole project is in fulfillment of a pledge he made to the people of the beneficiary communities during the 2020 election campaign period.
According to the Kumbungu legislator, the Borehole Project was one of many interventions his outfit undertakes, aimed at providing potable drinking water and other social amenities to deprived communities.
“The provision of these boreholes has become necessary because in recent times we have had issues of water supply within Kumbungu and its surrounding communities, and this had put hardship on the people most especially our mothers. So, the provision of these boreholes will go a long way to alleviate the suffering among our mothers”, he stated.
The MP thanked the leadership of Wulugu project for their generosity, and assured that the boreholes will relieve residents who trek several miles in search of good drinking water.
On the maintenance culture, Dr Hamza advised the beneficiary communities to own the borehole facilities and put them into good use by maintaining and taking good care of the facilities.
He assured communities within the Kumbungu District who are facing water problems that, his outfit is liaising with other non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to address their challenges.
On their part, the residents at the beneficiary communities expressed gratitude to the MP for his effort in providing the water facility.
According to the residents, the efforts by the MP in solving the water challenges without central government’s intervention was an indication that they made a good choice.
“We thank you for addressing our biggest concern”, they appreciated.
