Water, they say, is life. In accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG 6), which states that “Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all,” the member of parliament for Builsa South Constituency, Hon. Dr. Clement Apaak, used his personal funds to hire AL-SHAA Company Limited to repair and replace all broken down and malfunctioning hand pump boreholes throughout the Builsa South Constituency.
This was in fulfilment of the pledges he made during his thank-you tour of the entire constituency, during which he toured and thanked constituents for voting for and retaining him as Builsa South’s member of parliament.
Almost every community he visited complained about the broken-down boreholes and how they affected their livelihoods in various ways.
He instituted a project known as “Operation Fix All Broken Boreholes in Builsa South” in response to the constituents’ plight in this regard. The Honorable MP’s generosity had a net positive impact on eighteen (18) communities.
In total, twenty-nine (29 broken boreholes) were repaired and returned to service. The total cost was fifty-five thousand and eight hundred Ghana cedis (Gh 55,800).
Before this project, the MP had dug twenty- four (24) boreholes from 2021 to the present and repaired several malfunctioning ones to ensure that people had access to potable drinking water.
The MP stated that plans are well underway to drill ten (10) additional hand pump boreholes in the constituency to supplement the existing ones. The MP, on the other hand, warned assembly members and community leaders to take good care of boreholes and report any problems to him.
