Residents of Ekumfi Abor and its surrounding areas have expressed immerse gratitude and excitement over the timely intervention of their Member of Parliament (MP), Hon. Dr. Othniel Ekow Kwainoe, to alleviate the ongoing water crisis in the area.

For some time now, several communities in the Central Region, including Ekumfi Abor, have been experiencing acute water shortages. In response to residents’ cry for help, Hon. Kwainoe took swift action by arranging for water tanker to supply the community with potable water.

The gesture has been met with widespread appreciation, with residents commending the MP for his dedication and willingness to support them in their time of need. They have expressed hope that, this intervention will continue until the water crisis is resolved.

While the Ghana Water Company Limited (GWCL) works to address the issue, residents are calling on the utility provider to expedite efforts to restore regular water supply or at least provide a clear schedule for water distribution. This, they believe, will enable them to plan and store water effectively.

Hon. Kwainoe’s action has also prompted appeals from other parts of the constituency, such as Attakwaa and nearby communities including his hometown, Essarkyir who are experiencing similar challenges and hopeful for his assistance.
