In response to the pressing water scarcity issue plaguing the Hangaline electoral area, Assemblyman for the area, Hon. Gorden Kumatey also known as Hon. Flenzy, took decisive action by offering free water supply for residents on Tuesday, February 20, 2024.
This intervention came after he successful secured a financial support of Ghc 20,000 from the Member of Parliament for Damongo, Lawyer Abu Jinapor to reconnect a lifeline mechanized borehole in the Hangaline community to power after it was been disconnected from electricity due to an outstanding debt of Ghc 91,000.
However, Hon. Flenzy’s commitment to addressing the community’s challenges, particularly regarding water scarcity, remained steadfast.
Prior to the 2023 District Assembly elections, he pledged to tackle the issue, which resonated deeply with the electorate.
Through relentless advocacy and collaboration with the NPP electoral area coordinator, Mr. Adam Ishmael, Hon. Flenzy succeeded in securing the much-needed funds from the MP for Damongo, Samuel Abu Jinapor to partly pay for the debt owed the Volta River Authority.
The allocation of Ghc 20,000 facilitated the reconnection of the borehole to power, providing a lasting solution to the water scarcity issue in the area.
The mechanized borehole, located near Hajia Atomi’s House, serves as a vital resource for the Hangaline community and It’s disconnection had left residents grappling with water scarcity which significantly impacted on their daily lives.
Hon. Flenzy expressed gratitude to Lawyer Abu Jinapor for his support, as well as to Mr. Bawa Fuseini (Capacity), the constituency secretary of the NPP, Mr. Kadri Abdul Rahman and Hangaline electoral coordinator, Mr. Adam Ishmael, for their assistance in ensuring the borehole’s reconnection.
As Hangaline residents celebrate the restoration of their water supply, Hon. Flenzy’s dedication to fulfilling campaign promises underscores the importance of effective local representation in addressing community challenges.
