Mpatuom Appeals For Expansion Of Electricity Project

The people of Mpatuom in the Amansie – West District have appealed to the government to expand the town's electrification project to cater for the more than 5,000 residents in the area.

The chief of the town, Nana Asamoah Tia II, who made the appeal at a meeting with assembly members, elders and unit committee members said that two culverts on the outskirts of the town needed immediate rehabilitation to avert perennial flooding in the area.

Another area of concern for  the chief said was the deplorable state of the local Methodist Primary School which posed danger to both staff and pupils.

Nana Asamoah Tia expressed gratitude to Messrs E.K. Agyemang Mining Company Limited, operating in the area, for constructing a block of three classrooms, an office and store  for the Junior High School and kindergarten for the town.

James Puni Boakye and Samuel Oppong Peprah, both assembly members of the town also expressed concern about the deplorable conditions in the area.

They commended Mrs Grace Addo, Member of Parliament for the area for donating street bulbs for the town.
